What kind of dishes do you cook when there are leftover vegetables and other ingredients in the refrigerator?

The taste may be unfamiliar to you, but in Korea, a combination of ketchup, mayonnaise, pizza cheese, vegetables, and lunch meat is popular. I hope you all enjoy this too. Now let’s make a delicious pizza toast that is so pretty in color and shape.

Today, I want to share a simple yet tasty recipe that you can use for holiday parties. You can make a fancy-looking dish with just a few ingredients you normally would have at home. Japanese sushi rolls inspire this, so if you like that food, you definitely need to try this. The seasoned rice, fresh cucumber, and crab stick salad are so good altogether.

Today, I will share a fun way to enjoy potatoes by making a Korean pancake, called Jeon, with it. Though it is unique since you can grate, julienne, or slice potatoes to make the Jeon, today’s recipe is even more unique in the shape and texture of the jeon. The crunchy potato dipped in a special dipping sauce is mouth-watering. As usual, you will love to see how simple this tasty recipe is.

When the weather is cold, there are some Korean foods I get hungry for. This octopus kimchi juk is one of the hot foods I enjoyed eating a lot in Korea. The porridge restaurant called “BonJuk” serves many different kinds of tasty porridge. My all-time favorite from that restaurant was definitely octopus kimchi porridge. I love seafood and I also love kimchi.. so it would make sense why I like that porridge so much. 🙂 Anyway, since I no longer can order that delicious porridge here in America, I had to make it at home for myself. I am very satisfied with the outcome. So, here I will share my hearty and savory porridge recipe with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
