Hi everyone! Happy New Year! Did you start off to a great New Year? Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? This year, I want my family and I to become healthier and happier. I also want to share many more delicious recipes this year. One of the categories that I want to post more often this year is Korean lunch box recipes a.k.a. dosirak in Korean. Many people are interested in it, so I will be more than happy to share fun and tasty lunch box ideas. As a start, I will make this multiple colored Korean lunch box. I got my inspiration from Japanese Soboro bento. Basically, you put your choice of side-dishes on top of rice for your lunch box. My design has a good combination of Korean flavors and is also colorful, so you will love it. I used egg for yellow, cucumber for green, kimchi for red, and beef for brown. You can prepare things ahead of time, so you can easily can pack the lunch box quickly in the morning.

Today, I will show you a great way to pack a lunchbox for a family picnic using the bulgogi and ssamjang that I posted before. This three layer lunchbox is beautiful and will boost your appetite and give you a balanced meal with delicious flavors. It looks very fancy, but it is super easy to prepare, so it cannot get any better. 🙂 One layer is the bulgogi for the meat group. Rice, wrapped with lettuce and ssamjang (which is the seasoned soybean paste) gives you some grains and veggies. Lastly, the colorful rainbow fruit skewers makes for a nice and fresh dessert. Why don’t you make this fun and tasty lunchbox and go on a picnic with your loved ones in this spring? 🙂

I finally made a recipe for a Korean-style breaded tenderloin or pork cutlet with a special sauce. It is called “DonGaSeu, 돈가스” in Korean or Tonkatsu in Japanese. This was a food that so many people requested and I didn’t post yet. Now, I feel that I finished a delayed homework assignment from my viewers. If I am right, this is one of the foods that was introduced in Korea by Japan during the Japanese colonial period. I guess Japan got this type of food from the western world and modified it to their own tastes. The deep-fried meat for Korean-style dongaseu is almost the same with Japanese tonkatsu. However, the sauce you pour on top of the meat is a little different between the two countries. So, today, I will show you how to make Korean-style old fashioned dongaseu and the sauce that I enjoyed when I was little growing up in Korea. I will also show how to prepare the full set menu as a restaurant would serve dongaseu. It will have dongaseu, cooked rice, macaroni salad, cabbage salad, and kimchi. This will give you a good idea about how to prepare a whole meal easily. Isn’t it exciting? So, please follow my instructions and enjoy this delicious meal.
