Rice cake soup called TteokGuk is known as a Korean New Year soup. It is true that Koreans enjoy this delicious rice cake soup on New Year’s Day to celebrate with their family members. However, our family eats this rice cake soup all year long. lol If you make the traditional style of TteokGuk, you have to spend some time to make the beef broth, and then you also need to prepare some toppings such as Jidan (fried egg topping) and roasted dried laver. I will break all the typical rules for this recipe, and make the simplest rice cake soup that you can enjoy. If you follow my quick egg rice cake recipe, then you might think it is as simple as cooking instant noodles. Of course, this is a lot healthier than instant noodles, yet it is still tasty. This also can be a great breakfast or simple lunch menu when you want something delicious and easy to make. Doesn’t it sound great? Okay then, let’s get started.

Today, I’m going to make a delicious snack using ingredients such as rice paper and dried laver. You can consider this recipe as a simple version of one of the most popular Korean street foods, GimMalI. By using rice paper, you can avoid deep- frying GimMalI, which makes it healthier and easy to cook.

If the most famous street food in South Korea is TteokBokkI (Spicy Rice Cake Dish, 떡볶이), in North Korea, it is DuBuBap (Tofu Rice, 두부밥), which I would like to introduce to you today. This North Korean food that I stumbled across on TV made me think that I should make and eat it someday. After studying how the North Koreans make this on the Internet, I made my own delicious recipe. I made some changes to this that I wanted, but the finished food is very satisfying. Despite the fact that tofu is not a personally preferred ingredient for me, this tofu rice is so delicious that I keep eating it. Filled with seasoned rice in a tofu that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and served with delicious seasoning, the taste is the best. Be sure to make this tofu rice someday. I bet my vegan or vegetarian subscribers will be so happy to try this.

A deep fried sweet potato dish called GoGuMa TwiGim (고구마 튀김) is a popular street food in Korean. Some Koreans make it at home, but since it is a deep fried food, and you have to deal with the leftover frying oil, it is not always an easy option to choose. (I already shared the recipe before, so you can check it out.) Therefore, we make it as a simpler version pan frying them instead, which I’m going to teach you how to do in this post. I seasoned the sweet potatoes for use as a side dish, but you can also enjoy it as a snack food. The slightly sweet and salty flavor, along with its crispy and soft texture make it a great dish.

A few weeks ago, I posted a recipe for corn cheese dumplings and some people already tried and loved it. Then, one of the comments I got asked me if I can share a recipe for homemade dumpling wrappers because she wanted to try my recipe, but cannot get store bought dumplings around her. I thought there might be more people like her who cannot get dumpling wrappers easily, so I created this recipe and I’m very excited to share it with you today. It takes some labor, but it only has 3 ingredients. The texture and flavor is even better than store bought ones according to my husband. lol So let’s get started.
