Omurice is a fried rice often sauced in a ketchup base and topped with a fluffy egg. It's a simple fusion dish that combines Asian flavors with a Western twist. When I was a kid, my mom used to make me fried rice topped with a egg and a ketchup smiley face or heart decorated on the egg. Today’s ...
Sinjeon Tteokbokki Copycat (Spicy Rice Cake)
Sinjeon Tteokbokki is a very popular spicy tteokbokki casual street food restaurant in Korea (often take out or delivery). It’s one of the major tteokbokki chains in Korea, particularly Seoul. It’s not as spicy as the spiciest tteokbokki chain in Korea, Yupki Tteokbokki, but still has a kick and is ...
Instant Pot Galbitang (Korean Beef Short Rib Soup)
After pilates class, I walk by a Whole Foods to get home and always stop in, even if I have absolutely no reason to do so! I just wander in and see if anything catches my eye or is on sale. Last week, I walked by the meat section and saw that short ribs were on sale for $5.99 a pound! That never ...
Youn’s Kitchen – Boneless Fried Chicken (Dakgangjeong)
Youn’s Kitchen is a Korean reality show where the cast opens up a Korean themed pop-up restaurant in a foreign country for a few days/weeks. “Youn” Yuh Jung is the lead grandma and cook that the show is named after. In Season 2 (2018), the cast goes to Spain and prepares variations of ...
Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew)
Budae Jjigae is a super popular Korean “jeon gol” (hot pot). A huge pot of sizzling spicy stew is usually shared amongst 2, 4 or even more people (the more the merrier, and the bigger the pot!). I don’t think my mom grew up eating this dish so she didn’t make it for us at home. The first few times I ...
Healthy Kabocha Squash Salad (Danhobak salad)
At the grocery store last week, I spied luscious looking danhobaks (Kabocha squash) in their perfectly round green skin. They were huge (more than normal) and so as I passed by them DrJuh encouraged me to take one. These are currently in season for the winter and so even extra sweet! I ...
Osam Bulgogi from Soo-Mi’s Side Dishes (Korean Spicy Stir-Fried Squid and Pork)
Having recently traveled to DC and then NYC, coming back home - my dinners have felt uninspired. I’ve gotten used to a week of eating out or getting dinner served by my parents that I don’t know what to make or eat (nor do I have the energy). We ordered BBQ chicken twice - yay for ubereats and ...
Perilla Pesto Pasta (Korean Fusion Kkaennip Pasta)
I didn’t grow up eating traditional Italian pasta. Any form of pasta we had at home was often spoonfuls of alfredo cream from a jar that made it hard to differentiate whether it was alfredo soup or sauce with pasta noodles. My mom really loves her sauce, on everything, not just Italian food and so ...
Korean Street Food “Hotdog” aka Corn Dog
Hotdog (핫도그) in Korea isn’t the usual sausage in a long bun that we find here in the baseball stadiums. It resembles more of a corn dog but it is so much more than a corn dog. The “hotdog” is often stuffed with more than just a sausage, (think velvety cheese), is wrapped in a chewy dough, covered in ...
