Today, I will share a tasty soup recipe using a very unique Korean ingredient, blood sausage. It is called SunDaeGuk in Korean. To be honest with you, I’m not a big fan of this Korean blood sausage and it is also difficult for me to find it in America. However, some of you requested it, so I kept watching for it to appear at a Korean grocery store. Finally, I found it recently, and I was excited. hehe So here we go, I can happily share my successful recipe for SunDaeGuk with you. Instead of the Korean blood sausage, you can be creative and replace the sundae with some other kind of meat (beef, chicken, pork, seafood, or even tofu) and still make a delicious soup.

Hi Everyone! Sometime ago, I had to bring something delicious for our church’s potluck. I decided to make this tasty deep fried vegetable dish and received good comments about it. 😉 The reason I wanted to make this for the party is that it is not only delicious, but it is also a good finger food. Although maybe the best thing is that it tastes good when it’s hot or not. So you can make them ahead of the time before your party. 😉 Anyway, I can finally share my deep-fried vegetable recipe with you and I’m super excited about it now. You can make a vegetarian version by omitting the seafood, as is customary, although it is even more savory with the added shrimp. I will also share my secret batter for delicious deep-fried food without using the prepackaged Korean Frying mix flour, for people who cannot find those mixes at stores near them. So, let’s get started.

When you are craving spicy food, what do you think of first? There are many different kinds of spicy food to choose in Korean cuisine. But for me, spicy soup is particularly good. I like spicy soup mixed with rice, with well-fermented kimchi as a side. It is so delicious that I could eat almost everyday. 😉 Among the many choices for spicy Korean soup, I want to introduce a new one today. If you’ve tried yukgaejang (Korean spicy beef and vegetable soup) before, you will love this recipe too. It is a spicy green onion and beef soup called ‘PaGaeJang’ (파개장) in Korean. You can consider it as the original or a simpler version of yukgaejang. As you might know, yukgaejang is a delicious spicy soup, but it asks for some unusual ingredients such as dried fernbrake and dried taro stem, etc. It also needs a lot of cooking time and preparation. On the other hand, the ingredients for pagaejang are a lot simpler, making it easier to make. The good news is, the flavor is still very good. I already posted a delicious yukgaejang recipe and many people liked it. So, now you will have a tough time choosing which one to cook and eat. Wait a minute, maybe, it is an easy decision to make after you try this new recipe. lol 😉 Savory homemade beef broth along with lots of green onions and the spicy sauce make this an unbelievably delicious soup. There are several secret tips in this recipe, so don’t miss them. 🙂

There is a very popular beef soup dish called “GomTang” in Korean cuisine. The name means that beef and bones are boiled for a long time to get a rich flavor for the broth. So, some people have started to make this kind of soup using chicken instead of beef and called it dak gomtang. Homemade chicken broth that is made with Korean flavors and ingredients such as green onion and garlic, along with cooked Korean radish, makes for a warm and delicious soup for cold days. The pretty color combination of the garnishes make this soup even more appetizing and gives it extra flavor. This can be good for baby food if you chop and mash the ingredients into little pieces. Try it someday.
