Korean Food and Recipes
This is a variation of a beef roll. The marinated bulgogi, rolled with different kinds of veggies, tastes very good. The color combination is also so very pretty. So, it would be a good dish for a party or potluck. I used Sempio’s premade bulgogi sauce so that this recipe is easier to make. However, you can use my homemade bulgogi sauce recipe instead. Depending on your preferences, you can be creative and use other kinds of veggies such as carrot, zucchini, cabbage, etc.
Yield: 4 Rolls
Drumstick soy sauce jorim is a fancy and savory chicken dish that you can easily make at home. The chicken tastes great because of a good combination of saltiness and sweetness along with a slight garlic and ginger flavor. If you prefer, you can use some other part of the chicken such as the breast or thigh. For the best flavor and texture, the chicken is marinated for some time, but you can skip that if you are in a hurry. Try it someday.

Today, I will show you how to wrap Korean BBQ. One of the uniquenesses of Korean cuisine is wrapping BBQ with a variety of leafy greens, other vegetables, and a wrapping sauce called “ssamjang.” How man times have we eaten a main dish and not got enough vegetables in our diet? I know I have done it more times that I would like to admit. In that point, this is a healthy way to enjoy eating meat. You can use this method of eating with many other kinds of Korean BBQ and meat. However, in this post, I will use the Sempio bulgogi recipe that I just posted. I also posted a homemade bulgogi recipe in the past, so you can check it out too. If you are a vegetarian, you can fry some tofu, eggs, or mushrooms and wrap those instead of the meat. That will be delicious too. 🙂
There are several kinds of skewered chicken preparations in Korea. Among them, I will show you how to make one today. This one is made with chicken, garlic, peppers, and green onions, all marinated in a special sauce. It all tastes really good together. Depending on your tastes, you can use more garlic or pepper for each skewer. Sometime ago, I posted a recipe using some korean peppers that a friend gave us. This is another recipe using those peppers. My husband loved the flavor of the cooked peppers with the sauce; he thinks I could have added more pepper pieces on each skewer. It is up to you. 🙂
Yield: 8 Skewers
Beef rib jjim, called “SoGalBi Jjim (소갈비 찜)” in Korean, is a popular traditional holiday or party food in Korea. Since it takes some time for the preparation, marination, and cooking, Koreans usually save this dish for special days. The meat is tender and delicious with a sweet and salty flavor to it. Many people requested this dish, so I am very excited to share my beef rib jjim recipe with you. Try it someday.

Andong is the name of a Korean city, and this special dish is a very famous food from that area. It is also popular with many people that visit Korea. The braised chicken and vegetables with the sauce will make you fall in love with the flavor. I love, love, love this food. It is not too difficult to make from scratch, but if you have access to Sempio’s Braised Chicken Sauce, you can take a shortcut and follow my recipe using Sempio’s sauce instead. Both are delicious. Many people wanted me to make this dish from scratch, so here it is.

The Korean beef side dish Tteok GalBi (떡갈비) is a very tasty dish that is a good representative of Korean food flavor. Tteok means sticky rice cakes and galbi is a marinated Korean meat dish. However, you will soon see that there are no sticky rice cakes in this recipe. So then, why it is called “Tteok Galbi?” The original Galbi dish uses beef or pork ribs. Tteok galbi has a similar taste with galbi; however, the texture is like sticky rice cakes because it has ground beef and other vegetables in it. Many people love bulgogi or galbi. The soy sauce and sweet flavor mixed with garlic, green onion, and sesame oil makes this dish very flavorful. This recipe can have a strong garlic or onion flavor, so if you don’t like them much, you can reduce the amount. It will be a good dish for a party.
