Have a quick and delicious meal with this pre-made Sempio dakgalbi sauce. I posted homemade dakgalbi before; this Sempio sauce tastes as good as my dakgalbi. The spicy and slightly sweet chicken, vegetables, and rice cakes taste very good. Amazon sells this sauce along with other pre-made Sempio sauce, so you can try them someday. 🙂 Of course, you can try my homemade dakgalbi recipe too.

Seafood and Green Onion Jeon

해물 파전, HaeMul PaJeon

Seafood and green onion pancakes are perfect for seafood lovers like myself. This is one of the most popular foods for festivals in Korea. The awesome taste comes from the different kinds of seafood and green onions, which are fried into a nicely golden-brown crispy pancake. Some people pour the egg on top of the pancake before frying it, but I prefer my egg in the batter. If you increase the salt a little more, you might not need dipping sauce. However, we usually use soy dipping sauce. Try this delicious food someday. 🙂

Yield: 1 Pancake

How to Eat (Wrap) Bulgogi

불고기 쌈, BulGoGi Ssam

Today, I will show you how to wrap Korean BBQ. One of the uniquenesses of Korean cuisine is wrapping BBQ with a variety of leafy greens, other vegetables, and a wrapping sauce called “ssamjang.” How man times have we eaten a main dish and not got enough vegetables in our diet? I know I have done it more times that I would like to admit. In that point, this is a healthy way to enjoy eating meat. You can use this method of eating with many other kinds of Korean BBQ and meat. However, in this post, I will use the Sempio bulgogi recipe that I just posted. I also posted a homemade bulgogi recipe in the past, so you can check it out too. If you are a vegetarian, you can fry some tofu, eggs, or mushrooms and wrap those instead of the meat. That will be delicious too. 🙂
