For today’s recipe, I came up with something you can make when you don’t have many ingredients at home, which uses some potatoes. It is called GamJaChae Jeon in Korean. This Korean-style crispy and chewy potato pancake can be a great snack or side dish, especially when you want to make something very simple and quick. I do not have many ingredients right now, so my next post might be another very simple ingredient recipe. Hopefully, I can get some more Korean ingredients soon. Wish me a good luck. hehe

Fresh Spring vegetables are telling me that Spring is finally here. There are many Spring foods that I was missing this past winter, and you will see them one by one from my recent posts. So, today let’s cook something savory, healthy, and delicious using shishito peppers and potatoes. Shishito peppers called “GgwaRiGoChu” in Korean have a unique flavor and shape compared to other peppers. They are not spicy at all and are a little bitter. We enjoy their flavor in our Korean food. They usually go well with a sweet and salty sauce. Braised potatoes with these peppers makes for a quick and delicious side.

Today, I want to share one of my favorite childhood sides called GimJaBan BokkEum (김자반 볶음). Are you familiar with the Korean seasoned and roasted dried laver snack? It is very popular side for Korean kids. Instead of buying pre-made ones, you can cook it healthy and tasty at home in few minutes. Our boys love it when I mixed it with some rice and make rice balls for them. Try it someday for your children or yourself.
