Korean Food and Recipes
This fried spicy garlic and beef side dish is a unique way to eat garlic and meat together. The combination together is great. My husband tried it for the first time and he loved it. 🙂 You can eat this as a side dish but you can also use it for lettuce wrapping with rice. To do that, simply top a leaf of lettuce with some rice and a little meat. Then wrap and eat it. Delicious~~~ 🙂 Try this simple but very tasty food someday.

In Korea, spicy cold buckwheat noodles (Bibim Naengmyeon) are as popular as the cold buckwheat noodle soup (Mul Naengmyeon) that I posted last time. I got many requests for this and mul naengmyeon over the years. Finally, I can post both of those two good recipes in a row, so I am very happy. Bibim means mixing something, naeng means cold, and myeon means noodle. We use the same toppings as mul naengmyeon: pickled radish, pickled cucumber, meat, hard-boiled egg, and Asian pear. An easy way to make this dish is to buy a package that has the noodles and sauce. However, if you make this the authentic way, it takes time and effort. Of course, the taste can’t be beat, plus it is healthier to make food at home. You can freeze the sauce and use it later. Summer is gone, but I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.

Cold buckwheat noodle soup is a number one summer dish in Korea. It is a very cool and refreshing meal. Some people like to eat this in the cold of winter too. You can make a large portion of broth and beef and then freeze them. This way, whenever you want to have this dish, you can quickly and easily prepare it. There is a package that is sold for this noodle, which includes the buckwheat noodles, broth powder, and liquid seasoning. With that, you only need some garnishing such as the beef, egg, pickled radish, pickled cucumber, or Asian pear depending on your tastes. However, many people asked me to teach them how to make this soup from scratch, so I’m happy to share this recipe with you. It can be a little complex and time consuming to make it, but it is worth it to get the great flavor and good health. 🙂

This is a simple cucumber dish for garnishing mul naengmyeon or bibim naengmyeon, although you can use it as a side dish or you can use it in other noodle dishes too. The sweet and sour flavor in this cucumber dish gives extra flavor to the main dish. 🙂

This is a simple radish dish for garnishing mul naengmyeon or bibim naengmyeon, although you can use it as a side dish or you can use it in other noodle dishes too. The sweet and sour flavor in this radish garnish gives extra flavor to the main dish. 🙂

Do you like Korean BBQ such as bulgogi? You can make many different kinds of food with bulgogi or bulgogi sauce. This bulgogi sandwich is one of the popular fusion foods in Korea. It is great to combine the Korean flavor with Western food. If you have left over bulgogi, you can just use it instead of making the bulgogi below. Depending on your taste, you can adjust the amount of soy sauce or sugar. I hope you like this recipe. 🙂

Hi Everyone! Did you notice any changes with my blog? Hehe … I am sure that you’ve noticed a difference. 😉 I know a lot of people liked my old theme, but we needed to make some changes for a better blog. The biggest change will be the design, which took a lot of time to create, making it more organized and pretty. I am happy about it. Another big change is that we added new categories/menus such as Western Food, Korean Lessons, and Ingredients. Some people may not be interested in the new additions, but don’t worry – you can subscribe to each category seperately, or you can bookmark the category that interests you.
I learn how to cook American food from my mother-in-law. I suggested that she share her great recipes with others through my blog. Thankfully, she is willing to do that with me. I’m very excited to share her delicious food with you. 🙂 Some of my friends might already know this – recently I started to post a series of Korean lesson videos on my YouTube channel. My blog will help supplement those videos. The ingredient section will show some of the ingredients from the recipes and their uses, storage techniques, health benefits, etc.
Right now, the Western Food and Korean Lessons categories have just been started, so they don’t have that many posts. However, we will continuously create new posts for them, so please wait for them. I hope you like these new changes from Aeri’s Kitchen. Thanks for reading.
See you soon again with a delicious recipe or cool Korean lesson.
In Korea, there are many popular foods made or flavored with green tea. This green tea ice cream is one of them. You may already know that green tea is very healthy in many points. If you make ice cream at home with some green tea, it will be healthier and still taste delicious. I made this recipe especially for people who don’t have an ice cream machine like me. The mixture is frozen without using a machine. It will be icier than store bought ice cream, but I actually prefer that kind of texture for my ice cream. If you have an ice cream machine, you can use it too. I am very happy about the result, so I am excited to share this recipe with you. 🙂

This garlic chive kimchi is one of my favorite types of kimchi. This recipe doesn’t require any soaking in salt water, which makes it easier and quicker to make. Garlic chives have their own unique flavor and they are healthy. The down side is, you might smell like garlic after eating, but it is very delicious and worth it. 🙂
