Korean Food and Recipes
Do you like beef jerky? I love it. Recently, a blogger sent me some Korean brand beef jerky. Robert launched this Korean beef jerky company, Artisan Snacks last year. Korean beef jerky in America, isn’t this exciting news? So, I am happy to share my new experience of tasting Korean brand beef jerky with you today.
Have you ever heard of the Korean food company named “Sempio?” It is one of the most popular and famous Korean food companies. They have a 60 year history, and they are especially well known for making good soy sauce. Why am I taking about this now? hehe .. Recently one of my Facebook friends asked me if I am interested in trying some Korean cooking products from her company, Sempio. Wow, the Sempio campany? Since I am like using their soy sauce, I said yes. My expectation was that she would send me several kinds of soy sauces. Then, oh my, they sent me not only soy sauces but also other cooking ingredients too. Thank you very much! The more surprising thing is that they make more than just soy sauce. I like their soy sauce, so I was excited to try their other products. Below are the products they sent me.
I got a gift from my husband. ASSA!!! It was a rice cooker, which is a very important thing in aeriskitchen. I love the color and design of this cooker. After I tried to use it several times, I decided to make this post for somebody who wants to buy a good rice cooker, since I like it very much. My husband researched rice cookers quite a bit before he decided to order this one. Reviews from people helped his decision. So, I will do same thing for you. hehe… The company name is Zojirushi and this model is “Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer NS-ZCC10 5.5 Cups” It is made in Japan.
When I got married and move to our new house in America, I got good stuff for my kitchen from my husband. That was this Rada knife set. It was amazing and cute that my husband collected these kitchen things before he married. Of course, it’s good for me. He bought these knives from a fund raiser because a coworker highly recommended them. As you can see in the picture, he got many different sets and pieces from Rada. You already saw me use my knives many times in my pictures and videos. Among the knives, my favorite one is the French Chef’s Knife which I can use for almost everything; chopping, peeling, mincing, cutting, slicing, etc. A really good point for these knives is the sharpener. I’ve never seen sharpening this easy and accurate before. The price is also good. So if you need to buy some knives and don’t know what to buy, I highly recommend these Rada knives.
Since I’ve received many questions about my knives – where I bought them, how they can buy them, etc. – I was thinking that someday I will post something about them on my blog or YouTube. The good news is, before they were only sold for fund raisers, but now you can buy them on Amazon.com. I will post the links here for you. I hope this information is helpful to you. Thanks!
| The Sharpener
This should be a requirement for any Rada knife. The sharpening action is quick – you only need to pass the knife though the rings 2-3 times to make it as sharp as new again. |
Oak Block Set
This makes for a great set in the kitchen – it includes: French Chef (my favorite), “Old Fashioned” Butcher, Slicer, Carving Fork, Utility/Steak, Super Parer, Vegetable Peeler, and Regular Paring. |

| Tomato Knife
This is one of my husband’s favorite knifes. This works especially well for easily slicing through tomato skin without making a mess of the soft tomato. |
Bagel Knife
This is my husband’s favorite knife. It works very well for cutting bagels, bread, rolls, English muffins, etc. |

| French Chef’s Knife
This is my favorite knife. I use it for almost everything. This is the shape that Koreans usually use for cooking. |
Starter Set
This is a great set for starting your Rada collection, since it is only a couple knives and it has a sharpener in it. You can try them out to see if you like them without much expense. |
You can see the whole collection in my Amazon kitchen shop collection – click here.
My mother-in-law baked delicious Christmas cookies: Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip, Pecan Tassie, and Mexican Wedding Cake. It was great because I could learn how to make them from her and have fun. Everything tasted good. I said I don’t like sweet things in my introduction, but oops, I ate the cookies again and again until we finished the tin of cookies in just 2 days. Either my taste is changing or my mother-in-law’s cookies are too good. hehe 😉 We got cookies from her with that cute cookie tin. Thanks Mom!! Wow, in only 2 days, its Christmas. I hope everyone will have a great holiday with their family and friends. I also hope people enjoy not only this holiday season, but also remember the true meaning of Christmas and poor people around us. Merry Christmas!!! 😀
