Cooking for two can be hard when I have to buy pounds of chicken or beef at one-time. Then, I’m stuck in the “now what” phase with leftover ingredients. And that’s how I landed here, after making Youn’s Kitchen Boneless Fried Kitchen. This chicken bulgogi is just slightly spicy, salty and sweet. The ...
Gochujang Tomato Sauce Pasta
A super easy pasta with a flare of Korean spiciness will help hit the spot on a super lazy Saturday (or any day). Work has been super busy, so even though I’m not actually coming home from work any later than before, I am a lot more exhausted since I don’t have any down time during work hours ...
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 ...
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 ...
Stir-fried Beef and Radish Side Dish (Sogogi Mu Namul) – Soo-Mi’s Side Dishes
Super easy and simple Korean side dish! It perfectly balances out strongly seasoned entrees with a mellow but aromatically enhanced radish made by the famous celebrity grandma actress, Kim Soo-mi! It tastes even better the next day as the ingredients work together overnight in the ...
“My Ugly Duckling” Korean Spicy Chicken Over Rice
My Ugly Duckling is currently a very popular reality-like show in Korea where celebrities’ moms observe and add commentary as they watch footage of their sons' daily activities. The famous son’s daily lives are captured and then the moms and hosts watch it together like their watching a YouTube ...
Inkigayo Sandwich (Korean Trendy Sandwich)
In the late 90s and early 2000s, I used to watch my fair share of weekly K-pop countdown shows. Unlike the US counterparts (i.e. TRL on MTV) many of the Korean countdown shows have survived the decades including a weekly show, “Inkigayo”. The show features the most popular songs in Korea for the ...
Baek Jong Won’s Donkkaseu (Tonkatsu)
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 ...
Baek Jong Won’s Super Easy Cream Shrimp
Some days I want a hearty meal without having to do so much chopping, slicing, prepping. At times, I want to go the super traditional route with all the bells and whistles to get the most depth in a dish but other days, I want it super delicious without too much effort. And of course, I can lean on ...
