Bugeo Guk (Dried Pollack Soup) by jason kim

We had ourselves a light and healthy bugeo guk (dried pollack soup) with our meal tonight. We have been holding off on this dish simply because it's a ripoff to buy at our local Korean market (we paid $13 for an 8 oz bag) and wanted to wait until our next trip to Chicago where we could buy some higher quality and less expensive Korean…

Godeungeo (mackerel) has a very special place in my heart, having eaten it every which way imaginable—pan-fried, grilled, braised, canned, smoked, you name it. But during my days in Seoul, there was this kogi jjip (barbecue restaurant) near my home…

Soon Dubu Jjigae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew) by jason kim

There are many dishes that I enjoy cooking time and time again, not only because they are easy but also because I can cook them pretty well.

Korean Dak Juk (Chicken Porridge) by jason kim

Though I have tried to avoid getting too personal on the blog, I must admit that this recipe has a bitter-sweet story behind it [sigh]. We are still experiencing record-breaking heat here in the Midwest (100+ weather!), and this is supposed to be the last day of the heat wave according recent weather experts. For some reason, the…

Kimchi Jjigae w Kongnamul (Spicy Kimchi Stew w Soybean Sprouts) by jason kim
