Korean Food and Recipes
Hi everyone. Today I will introduce a delicious Korean sea mustard soup called 미역국 in Korean. I already posted a beef version of soup before. This time, I will use clams for this soup. It is a very nutritious and tasty soup. The clams give the broth a good flavor that matches well with the soft and chewy seaweed. Try this someday. 🙂

Today I will show you a very simple and delicious recipe with shrimp, broccoli, and Sempio’s Hyangshin sauce. It takes less than 20 minutes, include preparation time, to make a meal from it. This turns into a nice one dish meal. The savory flavor of the Hyanshin sauce along with shrimp, broccoli, and hot peppers taste great. Try it someday.

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. 😉

Ssambap is a type of rice dish where you wrap cooked rice with some kind of ingredients (usually vegetables). Today I will show you 2 different kinds of Ssambap. One uses Napa cabbage, which is seasoned with soybean paste, and the other uses seasoned Perilla leaves. The seasoned rice, cabbage, and Perilla taste great in this dish. Try it someday. 🙂

Hi Everyone! Today, I will make a very delicious fusion food using Sempio’s bulgogi sauce – Bulgogi Quesadillas. If you have any left over bulgogi, you can make this very simple, yet appetizing, food with this recipe. The sweet and savory bulgogi flavor, along with the cheese and vegetables, tastes very good in crispy tortillas. Try it someday.

Today, I will make 2 different kinds of pickles using Sempio’s pickling vinegar. When you make normal pickles at home, normally you boil the brine, pour the hot brine on the vegetables, and then wait at least several days before eating them. Sempio’s pickling vinegar has all the seasonings in it. So, you don’t have to boil a brine – simply pour their brine over the vegetables and it will be ready to eat in a day. The flavor is pretty good too. So when you are in a hurry, this can be a really good shortcut. Try them someday. 🙂

Today, I will show you how to make stir-fried spicy squid using Sempio’s hot chili hyangshin sauce. With a few simple steps and ingredients, you can make a great meal that is popular in Korean restaurants. I already posted a recipe for the homemade version before. Using Sempio‘s premade sauce makes it very easy and convenient to make at home while still tasting delicious. So I wanted to share this recipe with you. If you cannot get the sauce, you can try my homemade recipe. We are hosting a contest for Sempio’s hot chili hyangshin sauce this month (October 2012). So if you want to try the sauce for free, please visit my Sempio Youtube Channel, AerisKitchen4Sempio, and enter the contest . 🙂

Here is another great and simple dish using one of Sempio’s pre-made sauces. This time, it is a spicy fish dish. This specific dish calls for hair-tail, however you can use mackerel instead. The fish and radish absorbes the sauce which gives them great flavor. You will love the fact that you simply pour the sauce on the fish and vegetables to get a delicious main dish, which will taste similar to a homemade dish. You can purchase the sauce in big Korean grocery stores or Amazon. I highly recommend you to try it, especially if you want to cut down on your cooking time for daily meals.

This is stir-fried spicy octopus dish is made using Sempio’s mokpo octopus sauce. Many Korean dishes, especially soups and stews, ask for many different kinds of seasoning ingredients. Because of that, those Korean foods are more difficult to make to get the right flavor; getting the right amount of each seasoning ingredient is the secret for making good dishes. When I feel lazy, or do not have enough time to cook, it is nice to have pre-made sauces on hand. I made this octopus dish and ate it with some of my Korean friends for lunch. They all enjoyed it a lot. If I did not tell them, they would not have known that I used a pre-made sauce. 😉 For extra flavor, I added a little bit of sugar, and it turned out very delicious.
