Egg Jjim using Sempio Yondu

๋‹ฌ๊ฑ€์ฐœ, DalGyalJjim

by Leave a Comment

Today I will show you how to make the Korean steamed egg called “GyeranJjim.” It is very easy to make and it doesn’t take a long time to make, so it is a very popular side dish at home or in a restaurant in Korea. I already posted the original recipe for it using a clay pot and fish sauce (or Salted Shrimp called “saeujeot”) before. For people who don’t have the specific type of clay pot for this dish, I will use a normal sauce pan and a secret ingredient, Sempio Yondu, for great flavor. This soft steamed egg with a savory flavor can be a simple and quick, yet delicious, side for your Korean meal. You should try it someday. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Today, I will share a very simple yet delicious homemade latte using Korean sweet potatoes. Korean sweet potatoes are often used in Korean dessert foods. That is because Korean sweet potatoes have a delicious sweetness and pleasant firm texture. You can make a perfect latte at home without using any special machine to make the cream or foam. The creamy sweet latte with a nice sweet potato flavor and cinnamon is just right for the fall season. If you can get a Korean sweet potato, please try it someday.

Acorn Jelly

๋„ํ† ๋ฆฌ๋ฌต, DoToRiMuk

by Leave a Comment

Acorn jelly, called “DoToRi” in Korean, is a popular Korean ingredient. As the name implies, it is a jelly made with acorn starch. It is a firm jelly, very similar to gelatin, but does not contain any animal products, which makes it good for vegetarians. Acorn jelly itself is a little nutty and bitter, so it is best to eat this with something else, rather than by itself. There are several very delicious Korean dishes using acorn jelly. I will introduce them one by one in the future. People believe that acorn jelly is a good diet food since it is low in calories. It is easy to find in Korea, so most people buy it from a grocery store, or when eating an acorn jelly dish in a restaurant. However, the only thing I can find in America is acorn starch. It is nice to share this homemade acorn jelly recipe with others who, like me, cannot buy pre-made acorn jelly. Try it someday.

Fried Beef and Garlic Chive Salad

์ฐน์Œ€ ์†Œ๊ณ ๊ธฐ & ๋ถ€์ถ” ์ƒ๋Ÿฌ๋“œ, ChapSsal SoGoGi & BuChu Salad

by Leave a Comment

This is a delicious way of eating beef and vegetables. Fried beef that is covered with a secret ingredient, sweet rice flour, along with a garlic chive salad and savory sweet and sour dressing tastes very good. I made a batch of the beef, as called out in this recipe, then my husband finished it quickly and asked for more. ๐Ÿ™‚ My husband usually doesn’t like raw cabbage, raw onions, or raw garlic chives. It would seem as though he wouldn’t like this food, but instead, he loved eating all of those raw vegetables because the delicious beef and special dressing match perfectly with the vegetables. It was another big hit for our supper. Try it someday. ๐Ÿ™‚

Mung Bean Sprout Bibimbap

Today I will show a shortcut version of bibimbap. In my opinion, the key for delicious bibimbap is the sauce. If the sauce is good, the rest of ingredients do not matter as much. Bibimbap is a dish that has many ingredients and it has complex cooking steps. Instead of preparing 8 to 10 bibimbap ingredients, this recipe will use a smaller list of cooked mung bean sprouts, bulgogi flavored chicken, rice, and a tasty bibimbap sauce. The taste is very good and the presentation of the dish can be very pretty, so it can be an easy dish to serve your guests. ๐Ÿ™‚ Try it someday.

Hi Everyone, today I will introduce a snack food that kids will love. It is a variation of TteokBokkI, using black bean paste instead of a spicy sauce. It is called “jajang tteokbokki” in Korean. Chewy rice cakes, cooked with savory black bean paste and vegetables, taste delicious. If your kids cannot eat normal spicy tteokbokki, this non spicy version can be a great substitute. Try it someday.
