The nutty flavor from the avocado is mixed with tasty soy sauce, onion, and hot pepper to make a great combination. It is very hard to not make it because it is very delicious.😉

What if you can grab a common ingredient from your local grocery store and turn it into a tasty Korean side? Does that sound good? Then, here is my super simple, yet healthy and delicious chickpea side dish recipe called 병아리콩 조림 (ByeongARiKong JoRim) in Korean. It has a salty, slightly sweet, nutty, and savory flavor. Oh~ it is so good. Btw, the even more appealing part for this recipe is that you can get just as great of a result by using canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas. Of course, you can save lots of time for cooking this way.

Hi! Today, I will share a delicious way to enjoy tofu called DuBu JangTteok (두부 장떡) in Korean. The soft and nutty tofu makes great fritters with delicious veggies and Korean fermented seasoning ingredients such as hot pepper paste and soy bean paste.
Yield: 1 Dozen
This dish is a crispy, slightly hot, extremely delicious meal that can be amazingly well served at parties or family gatherings. Normally, people would use chicken with this sauce, called dakgangjang, (a.k.a 닭강정, is a very popular dish in South Korea) but for vegetarians and vegans, tofu is a very good replacement. I highly recommend tofu and chicken because (for vegans and others) tofu is a great, nutritious replacement that can’t really be beaten by other meats. As for the chicken, it’s up to you, but many people enjoy it with chicken. So, try out this recipe, and I hope you like it. See you in the video!
