일반 김밥, IlBan GimBap

by 124 Comments

Most Koreans love kimbap. We usually bring kimbap along on picnics. There are many kinds of kimbap in Korea: kimchi kimbap, cheese kimbap, tuna kimbap, beef kimbap, nude kimbap, sesame leaves kimbap, etc. Today I will make the most common kimbap. It will have 5 things in it: cucumbers, pickled radishes, ham, crabsticks, and eggs. A secret for making kimbap is that all of the ingredients need to have same size. That will help make the kimbap look more delicious and taste better.

Sweet Red Bean Steamed Buns

팥 호빵, Pat HoBbang

by Leave a Comment

Today, I will share my recipe for sweet red bean steamed buns called Hobbang or Jjinbbang in Korean. The name is kind of cute and funny and the meaning of the names also make sense. When we eat this hobbang in Korea, it is usually on cold days in the winter. We need to be careful not to burn ourselves when we eat this hot steamed bun. So, to cool it down, we will blow the hot steam from the bun like this.. “ho~~ ho~~ ho~~” so the name for hobbang came from it. Ho is the sound we make, and bbang is bread in Korean. Jjin means an additive word from Jjida which means steam and again bbang means bread, so steamed bread is jjinbbang or hobbang. You will be surprised to see how easy it is to make these authentic and delicious steamed buns at home with your own hands. Let’s get started.
