This recipe reminded me how much easier the Instant Pot can make my life! I spent all weekend around the kitchen because DrJuh was studying (last minute) for the boards which meant I tested out a bunch of recipes. Tired on a Sunday night, I remembered the random pork ribs and our Instant ...
Baek Jong Won – Korean Chili Shrimp Box
I don’t usually buy meats frozen and try to buy them fresh, meaning I’m going to the grocery store more often than I’d like. But, I do almost always stock up on frozen raw shrimp (by the bulk from Costco!). It is also one of the few things I can buy at Costco for our small family of two. The ...

Baek Jong Won Beef and Radish Soup
Beef and radish soup is the perfect soup to accompany any Korean meal whether it be with a fancy meal or just simply with a bowl of hot rice and spicy kimchi.
