I’m back with another Korean celebrity chef Baek Jong Won’s recipes: Donkkaseu! (or the sauce is his famous part). It’s an iteration of Japanese tonkatsu or European schnitzel which is essentially fried breaded pork cutlet. There’s many ways to enjoy this dish but most simply and often it’s served ...
Soy Sauce Eggs
Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. I’ve changed the blog to chopsticksandflour. I’ve been MIA because I was commuting from work so far away but alas, we have moved back into the city so I’m back at being in the kitchen! Excited for the extra time here. So, to start the ...
Crispy Fried Shrimp Burger
There's a lot of things I miss about our recent (long) vacation to Korea and Japan - a lot - but one thing I was really missing and craving recently was the shrimp burgers! These little burgers were on commercials, posters and billboards from every fast food restaurant. They were everywhere - even ...
Thin and Crispy Roasted Black Sesame Cookies
Everyone has their cookie preference - soft, chewy, crispy, thick, thin and so on. There's not really a right or wrong answer, persay but I grew up eating bordeaux pepperidge farm cookies. Thin and crispy (!). Although, I have grown to like soft and/or chewy cookies too. But, nonetheless, our family ...
Korean Honey Ginger Tea (Saenggang Cha)

Baek Jong Won’s Eggplant Rice (Gaji Bap)
A few weeks back, my brother sent our family a recipe and told us we MUST try it. Now, this is pretty out of the norm for my 30-something brother living the life out on the west coast. No, not out of the norm, a first ever? It must be an a-m-a-z-i-n-g dish?! This recipe actually went viral earlier ...
Potato Korokke
With some of the baked donuts I've been experimenting with I have been craving something fried. I don't eat fried food often but sometimes we need to go a bit crazy, right? (Maybe sometimes too often... ) This definitely hit the spot. A thin crunchy covering as you take a bite with a soft filling ...
Crunchy and Soft Cream Puffs
Can we please talk about these cream puffs? They are really good. My official taste tester is really happy about them too! Crunchy on the outside and sweet cream on the inside. They are really good. All the cream puffs I've tried have been delicious puffs filled with a cream but ...
