Korean Nakji Bokkeum (Spicy Octopus Stir Fry) by jason kim

We finally got to enjoy a spicy seafood dish when we found some frozen octopus at the local Asian market.

Kalbi (Marinated Short Ribs) by jason kim

On my half day off, I decided to "relax" by making my favorite (and the kids too) Korean meat dish--kalbi (marinated short ribs), which are tender, savory, sweet, and full of delicious flavors. These are best to be cooked on a grill (especially great for special occasions with friends and family) but they also taste good pan-fried off…

Dak Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Chicken) by jason kim

We have been meaning to do this dish for a while but didn't want to deal with cutting up chicken thighs for 20 minutes.

Korean Marinated Flank Steak by Jer

Mince the garlic in a food processor, until it stops jumping around. Just leave it there, and throw in the cleaned green onions, cut into pieces about 2 inches long. Be sure to include the greens, about 2/3 of the way down (until it starts to look old and ragged). Just process the onions with the garlic and scoop it all out and mix in…

Korean Saewoo Bokkeumbap (Shrimp Fried Rice) by jason kim

Ever since we lost our good friend Mr.Cuckoo (the name brand of our rice cooker) a few months ago, we never have any leftover rice (which is ideal for fried rice) because our new one makes exactly four servings. And since my futile attempts at fixing Mr.Cuckoo had reached its end, the missus had to make new rice and let it cool for a…
