Christmas is coming. Are you ready for the holidays? Many people think of cookies around this time of year. Are you ready to taste the best cookies ever? Have you ever heard of ganjang cookies (soy sauce cookies) before? “Ganjang” is the Korean word for “soy sauce.” My husband had a crazy idea about making cookies using soy sauce. I thought his idea was funny at first. I thought he was joking, but he was serious! lol Right away, he started tasting Sempio’s soy sauce and had a very positive imagination for making delicious cookies with it. So we worked together and made this fabulous Christmas cookie recipe for you. Using soy sauce instead of salt was a great idea for adding extra flavor to the cookies. They are a sweet cookie with extra flavor from cinnamon and ginger. They have a chewy and soft texture. Try these soy sauce cookies this holiday.

This onion bread, called “yangpabbang (양파빵)” in Korean, is my all-time favorite bread. The outside is a little crunchy, while the inside is chewy and soft. The bread has onion, bacon, and cheese inside. A little cheese is melted into golden brown crispy cheese on top of the loaf. It can make a great meal with the addition of a salad or sides. Adults and kids will love the flavor, as my family did. Try it someday. 🙂

Hi Everyone! Today, I want to introduce you to one of my favorite foods that my sister-in-law makes: bok choy salad. I don’t know why I like it so much. Maybe it’s because of the ingredients: soy sauce, vinegar, green onion, sesame oil, or something else. It has an Asian flavor to it. My sister-in-law uses balsamic vinegar; however, for this recipe, I will use Sempio’s drinking black rice vinegar. The result was even better using the drinking vinegar. Try it someday.

Meatloaf is a delicious American food that I learnt how to make from my mother-in-law. Not only is it easy to make, it is also good to use as planned leftovers. You can use leftover meatloaf for hot meatloaf sandwiches with gravy or just eat it cold. You can also make big batch of meatloaf and freeze some for later. Some people add broth flavoring to make it taste better, so I wondered how Sempio’s Yondu would improve the flavor if I used it. It was a success. Try this simple and delicious meatloaf recipe someday. 🙂

I’m not sure how old this recipe is, but I do know that it goes back a long ways. It is a very easy recipe to make, and it doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. It tastes better if it sets for a few hours to allow the Graham Crackers to soften.

A cheeseburger, fries, and a coke or milk shake used to be the popular thing to order, when eating out, especially with teenagers. Back then we didn’t have pizza like we do today. My husband and I still get hungry for a good cheeseburger.

One of my husband’s favorite cookies are peanut butter cookies. These cookies are a little chewy. If you don’t like chewy cookies, you can try baking them a little longer. Just be careful that you don’t burn them.

Spaghetti is a popular Western food in Korea; many Western restaurants serve different kinds of spaghetti: seafood, cream, meatball, etc. Today, I will make my version of spaghetti using a cream sauce. Maybe you have a cream pasta dish in your country too. This pasta tastes very good with the bacon and broccoli. I made two servings, thinking that it would be enough for my husband and me, but our little son loved mommy’s pasta so much that we all were still hungry after it was gone. Next time, I definitely have to double the recipe. 🙂

Endive dressing is a sweet and sour salad dressing that goes well with endive. I love bacon, but if you do not eat bacon you can leave it out. When we eat this, we also like fried potatoes as a side dish.
