Mung Bean Sprout Bibimbap

숙주 비빔밥, SukJu BiBimBap

by Leave a Comment

Today I will show a shortcut version of bibimbap. In my opinion, the key for delicious bibimbap is the sauce. If the sauce is good, the rest of ingredients do not matter as much. Bibimbap is a dish that has many ingredients and it has complex cooking steps. Instead of preparing 8 to 10 bibimbap ingredients, this recipe will use a smaller list of cooked mung bean sprouts, bulgogi flavored chicken, rice, and a tasty bibimbap sauce. The taste is very good and the presentation of the dish can be very pretty, so it can be an easy dish to serve your guests. 🙂 Try it someday.

굴전, Gul Jeon

by Leave a Comment

Oyster is popular and common in Korea. Since it is popular, there are many different ways to eat oyster. You can use it for soup, Korean pancakes (Jeon), deep-fried foods, steamed foods, or raw foods, etc. Among them, I will show you how to make oyster jeon, which is fried oyster with an egg and flour coating. For extra flavor, it will have some green onions and hot peppers too.
I love seafood and miss the many different kinds of fresh seafood in Korea. However, since I have moved to the USA, I am living far away from the ocean and cannot easily buy good seafood. Anyway, one day we were shopping a nice grocery store, Wegmans, and I found a container of oysters. My eyes were sparkling with joy when I saw it. I was hungry for oysters. lol … They are not fresh enough to eat raw; however, they were good enough to make this Korean dish. So here is a simple but tasty oyster recipe for you. 🙂

Napa Cabbage GeotJeolI

배추 겉절이, BaeChu GeotJeolI

by Leave a Comment

Napa Cabbage GeotJeolI (배추 겉절이) is a common and simple daily side dish in Korea. Instead of napa cabbage you can use lettuce, bok choy, or another leafy vegetable. In a few minutes, you can prepare a very delicious side dish by just mixing some ingredients with the cabbage. A secret for a good tasting dish is to use baby leaves (soft) that do not have much of a bitter or strong flavor. Baby leaves also have a nice soft texture. If you get a head of napa cabbage, use the thick outer leaves for napa cabbage soup, and use the soft inside leaves for this recipe. 🙂

Army Base JjiGae

부대 찌개, BuDae JjiGae

by Leave a Comment

Army base soup, budae jjigae was originated during and after the Korean War, when Koreans had very little to eat. People made this dish by combining leftover Spam and hot dogs from U.S. Army facilities, and mixed it with whatever else was available. All of the leftovers were combined with water in a large pot and boiled. Nowadays, most Koreans have enough to eat, but this soup is still very popular with more varied ingredients added to it. Try it someday.

Beef JuMeokBap

소고기 주먹밥, SoGoGi JuMeokBap

by 16 Comments

JuMeokBap (주먹밥) can be translated as “fist bap,” or “fist rice.” The reason why it has that funny name is that this ball shaped rice looks like the shape of a fist. In the old days, when Korean people had to prepare simple and easy meals for the soldiers in the Korean war, this food was a great idea because it is easy to make and easy to take anywhere to eat. Later, it was also popular for people to take to their work place or school. Nowadays, there is a variety of “fist rice” dishes with differences in the ingredients such as beef, kimchi, seafood, tuna, dried anchovies, etc. Also, the size has became smaller and it has become more colorful, pretty, and flavorful. When you do not have much to eat, just mix some rice with a few other ingredients to make “fist rice,” and eat it as a meal. It would be very good in your lunch box with a few other side dishes and fruits. Enjoy!

Sempio Yondu (Natural Liquid Seasoning, Light)

샘표 연두, Sempio YounDoo

by 41 Comments


Yondu is a natural liquid seasoning made by Sempio. It does not contain any animal ingredients, making it suitable for vegetarians. I recently discovered this treasure when Sempio sent me a sample. Without any prior knowledge or expectations, I tried it in one of my side dishes. The results were a pleasant surprise, so I have been doing more experimenting with it. My husband calls it “magic juice” because it makes everything taste better. (Just don’t drink it like a beverage.) LOL
