This week, I challenged myself to cook something delicious with what I normally have on hand, which is dumpling wrappers, cheese, and canned corn. What I came up with is called Corn Cheese ManDu (콘치즈 만두) in Korean. Not only it is easy and fun to make, the flavor is amazing with just a few ingredients. I am glad that I could use my old dumpling wrappers from my freezer which needed to be used. hehe If you want to try something different with your dumpling wrappers, try this recipe.

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.

I’m excited to share this noodles recipe with you today. I got inspiration for it from a video by the Korean grandma Youtube channel. She introduced this tasty noodle dish to her fans (I’m one of them. lol), and it looked very good. I wanted to share it with my fans too. haha I didn’t follow the exact same recipe she shared, but my recipe is pretty good too. It is a common simple noodle dish Koreans enjoy daily, but Korean grandma revealed her secret ingredient to enhance the flavor of this dish: vinegar. Interestingly, I usually add a little bit of vinegar to my sauces too. I bet you will love it because I got big thumbs up from my 3 boys and myself.
