Today, I want to introduce a sandwich recipe that is very hot right now in Korea. It is called an Ingigayo sandwich in Korean. Ingigayo is the name of an SBSmusic program. Kpop singers eat this special sandwich while they are preparing for their performance in SBS broadcast stations. I heard that you can only buy it there. Kpop stars shared this sandwich on their social media and it became very popular. I thought you might be interested in trying this unique sandwich like me, so I made a version of it. 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 will make a delicious variation of Korean street food, Hotteok. Hotteok is a Korean fried bread with brown sugar and cinnamon filling. By changing the filling, you can make many different versions of it. Among them, I will introduce veggie hotteok. This recipe especially for people who are vegetarians or people that love savory food. I will also show you how to make my delicious dipping sauce for it and share other cooking tricks in this recipe. Btw, I already posted the original hottoek recipe years ago, and my husband and I both think that my dough recipe for this veggie hottoek is even better than the original one. (Don’t get me wrong, the other recipe is delicious too. 😉) So, if you want to try to make sweet hotteok with the dough from this recipe, go for it, it will be great. 🙂 I cannot wait for you to try this recipe and let me know how it turned out. It is that good. 🙂

Hi Everyone! Sometime ago, I had to bring something delicious for our church’s potluck. I decided to make this tasty deep fried vegetable dish and received good comments about it. 😉 The reason I wanted to make this for the party is that it is not only delicious, but it is also a good finger food. Although maybe the best thing is that it tastes good when it’s hot or not. So you can make them ahead of the time before your party. 😉 Anyway, I can finally share my deep-fried vegetable recipe with you and I’m super excited about it now. You can make a vegetarian version by omitting the seafood, as is customary, although it is even more savory with the added shrimp. I will also share my secret batter for delicious deep-fried food without using the prepackaged Korean Frying mix flour, for people who cannot find those mixes at stores near them. So, let’s get started.

Pizza is one of the most popular foods in America. My husband loves it so much that our family has a pizza day every week. lol Do Koreans love pizza too? I cannot say that pizza is a food for all ages in Korea like it is in America, but it is a popular food for Koreans, especially the younger generations. Then, how is Korean pizza is different? 🍕 That is what I’m going to show you today. 😉 Koreans like a lot of toppings on their pizza. Among those toppings, there are some ingredients that you may have never saw on pizza before, such as sweet potato paste, sweet corn, seasoned potatoes, etc. Does anything sound interesting? For me, as a potato lover, I always liked potato on my pizza in Korea. My husband thought it was weird to see potato wedges on top of his pizza for the first time. Then, once he tried Korean potato pizza, he liked it. I tried to keep this recipe simple, yet still delicious. I will also teach you how to make a garlic dipping sauce that Korean pizza restaurant often serve with this potato pizza. Are you ready to try something unique but very tasty? 😉 Then, let’s get started.

If you are into Korean dramas, or if you’ve visited Korea, you might know that saunas are popular in Korea. People often eat special food while they are relaxing and enjoying their time there. Some popular ones are cold rice drinks called sikhye and steamed eggs. I already posted a recipe for sikhye before, so you can check it out. Since I’m living outside of Korea right now, I no longer can eat those delicious eggs. I was debating making them at home and I finally got the chance to do it. Recently, I was thinking of getting an electric pressure cooker or a slower cooker, because there are several different kinds of food that I wanted to make with it, such as spaghetti sauce, steamed eggs like the ones in Korean saunas, galbitang, etc. Then, as if somebody was reading my mind, one day, a company named BESKEK contacted me and suggested that I try their new electric pressure cooker. It was a perfect timing. Before I accepted a pressure cooker from them, I made it clear that, if I try it, I will only share my review publicly if I think their product is good. Otherwise, I will not make any posts, even if they send me their product. Thankfully, they agreed with me. I could experience something new in my kitchen. So far, I made plain white rice (I wanted to compare it with my stove-top pressure cooker), steamed eggs, homemade spaghetti sauce, and chicken broth. In this post, I will review my experience and share one recipe (steamed eggs) with you. Of course, this means that I’m satisfied with the result and I think this product is good enough to introduce to my viewers. 🙂 So here is my homemade Korean sauna egg recipe for you. ^^

Sometimes my viewers ask what kind of food I feed to my boys. Some moms tell me that they have difficulty getting their children to eat because they are picky eaters. I can understand how the moms feel. Moms want to make sure that kids eat well and grow up healthy. Recently, I met a mom with a son and her son only eats to eat rice and meat, but no vegetables. She asked me for advice or ideas. I wanted to come up with a good way to feed kids vegetables, and this is what I got: Seafood Rice Jeon. It is called “해물 밥전 (HaeMul BapJeon)” in Korean. Haemul means seafood and bap means cooked rice and jean is a Korean pancake. Instead of using flour, this recipe uses cooked rice for the batter. The jeon has various vegetables and seafood for great flavor. So in this simple food, you can get most of the nutrients that you need for your meal. Isn’t that cool? Also, because it doesn’t have flour, this can be an exciting recipe for people who can’t eat gluten. It is very delicious and easy to make. I’m happy to share this recipe with you today. Please try it someday. 🙂

When you think of baking, you can easily think that it’s a time-consuming and complex process. Normally, you have to let the dough rise 2 or 3 times. That’s why most people prefer to buy bread at a bakery instead of making it at home. However, if it is not that difficult to make and it tastes better than store bought bread, would you still buy it? Or would you give it a try and make it at home? You can save money, control your ingredients by picking healthier ones, and enjoy it too. That’s what I’m going to share with you today – a popular Korean-style hot dog bread called Sausage bread or pizza bread in Korea. My husband and sons loved it. 🙂
