When you start cooking foreign cuisine, such as Korean food, you probably experience unfamiliar ingredients. Every now and then, I get this kind of a comment, “Aeri, I have ‘xyz’ ingredient to make a certain Korean dish. But, I still have a lot of it leftover. What else I can make with ‘xyz’?” So here we are. Today, I have this delicious idea about how to use your extra “dried sea mustard.” Maybe you bought it to make Korean birthday soup (Miyeokguk). I will make jeon with it. This dish is even unique for some Koreans, but it is so easy to make and it is tasty. So, I want to spread this recipe as much as I can. 🙂

What kind of Summer vegetables do you think of? Maybe corn in America? I can think of potatoes. We get fresh potatoes in the Summer in Korea and it always brings back good childhood memories of summer for me because I’m a potato lover. Today, I will make a spicy, sweet, and savory potato side-dish for you. In less than 30 minutes, you can make this delicious side-dish and enjoy it. I thought Bryson and Logan cannot eat this because they cannot eat spicy food, but I was surprised that Bryson loved it. He even finished half of the serving size of this recipe today. @.@ I ate the other half. 🙂 … lol … Try it someday.

Hi everyone. Today, I will introduce another delicious recipe with 2 matching ingredients – tofu and kimchi. In Korean cuisine, there are several dishes that use both ingredients such as tofu kimchi, tofu kimchi stew, and so on. It shows that tofu and kimchi are a great combination of flavors. So I decided to make jeon with those 2 ingredients. Spicy kimchi and the nutty flavor of tofu, along with other vegetable ingredients, makes for a very tasty jeon. I love this jeon with a crispy outside and soft inside. Try it someday.
