Korean Food and Recipes
TteokBokkI (떡볶이) is one of the most popular Korean street foods. Since the way to cook this food is very easy and simple, Korean people often make it at home too. Depending on your personal tastes, you can make it spicier or sweeter. This snack has many different names according to its ingredients such as cheese TteokBokkI, RaBokkI (Ramen noodles), GanJang TteokBokkI, or GungJung TteokBokkI (soy sauce).

This summer, my family traveled to Korea and made many good memories there. Among them, personally, I really enjoyed making kimchi with my mom and I finally got her kimchi recipe to share with you. In my opinion, she makes the best kimchi ever. I wrote down her recipe with an exact amount of each ingredient, which made my mom a little frustrated because Korean mothers do not usually cook with a recipe, instead, they cook with their instinct. So, it is often hard to get the same result as them without careful measurements. Anyway, today I feel happy that I can share this treasure with you. So let’s get started.

Hi everyone! It seemed like a long winter this year, but now it is almost gone and my favorite season, spring, has finally arrived. When I think of spring, the color green pops into my head first. What about you? What is your favorite season and what comes to mind when you think of spring? Anyway, to welcome spring, I wanted to make something green. lol So, today I will share a unique and delicious type of Korean pancake using garlic chives. It is called buchujeon in Korean. My mom in Korea cooked this for our boys when we visited Korea and they loved it a lot, recently Bryson was craving this. Of course we are living far away from her, so we cannot eat her delicious buchujeon. In the end, I asked my mom for tips on how to make it through Skype and made this recipe for our boys. Luckily, our boys really enjoyed eating it and they even said it tastes just like the one that their grandmother made for them. My mom is my biggest supporter and fan and she always watches my videos, so I’m even happier to share this recipe. I bet she will be happy to see the food that I learned from her in my videos. I made this recipe as a vegetarian version, but I will also share what other ingredients you can add to enjoy it in other ways. At the end of this video, you will see a taste tester, so please don’t miss it. 🙂 Let’s get started.

Today, I want to share my own GalBiTang recipe using it. The word “galbi” means rib and “tang” is a type of soup. So, galbitang is a Korean beef rib soup dish with delicious broth and tender meat, along with noodles, radish, egg, and green onion. I had a lot of requests for this recipe over the years, and my Korean friends that tried my galbitang think it tastes as good as what you’d get in restaurants. So, I’m super excited to share this recipe with you. Let’s see how easy this is to make using my Cuckoo’s multi-cooker, and then taste how delicious it is.

A few years ago, I posted a recipe for a typical Korean soft tofu stew (a.k.a sundubu jjigae). Many people liked the recipe and I also got requests from people to share a vegetarian version of the soup too. Since I made savory homemade vegetable broth recently, I’m going to share my vegetable sundubu jjigae recipe with you today. Without any seafood or meat, which gives soup a rich savory flavor, you can still make delicious sundubu jjigae with just vegetable ingredients. It is healthy, easy, and tasty. Of course, you can always add some seafood such as clams or mussels if you want. I’m glad to share another vegetarian friendly recipe with you. Please try it someday and let me know what you think.

This stir-fried tiny anchovy side (잔멸치 볶음, JanMyeolChi BokkEum) is another Korean side-dish that was requested a lot from my viewers.

I assume that they saw it in Korean dramas or on Korean TV programs since it is a very common daily side-dish for Korean meals. I have my own secret recipe to make this side-dish extra delicious, and that’s what I’m going to share with you today. Are you excited? Okay, let’s get started.

When you eat at a Korean restaurant, what is the most unique part about it? I think it is the various Korean side-dishes they serve for your meal. Among them, which one is your favorite?

Many people seem to try this Korean cucumber side-dish at a Korean restaurant for the first time and they instantly fall in love with it. hehe I can also see why most Korean restaurants choose this as one of their side-dishes. It is because it is very easy and cheap to make. Of course, more importantly, it tastes delicious. It is refreshing, savory, sweet, spicy, and little sour. Wow, so many flavors in one side … Mmm … yummy ~~~ Now, you can enjoy this Korean cucumber side-dish without going out with this delicious recipe. 🙂 Are you ready to try it? Then, let’s get started.

Pickled eggs are one of my favorite American foods. When I tried these for the first time, I thought “Wow! These are GOOD.” 🙂 I like hard boiled eggs and also sweet & sour flavors, so it is a perfect food for me. As you know, beets, eggs, and vinegar are healthy. I highly recommend these eggs. Since I liked them so much, I’ve made them several times, and at the end my husband said “No more please~~~” hehe. Oops, my poor honey. I can eat them more often though. I learnt how to make these from my mother-in-law, who gave me a good recipe for pickled eggs, which was from her husband’s mother. So I want to share this delicious food with you. 😉
Yield: 18 Pickled Eggs
There are so many creative ideas to use for cooking eggs. A rolled egg is one of them. I always like my fried eggs with green onions, and I also wanted to make this recipe even more colorful and flavorful by adding red hot pepper and crab sticks. Instead of shredding the crab sticks or cutting them into little chunks, I will put the crab sticks in the center of the egg roll. The result was as great as I thought it would be, so I highly recommend you to try it. It is fun to make and delicious to taste. 😉
