Vegetarian Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles w Vegetables) by jason kim

The last time I made japchae (sweet potato noodles w vegetables) it came out a little bland and the noodles clumped together from not adding sesame oil. But this time, I finally got those two out of the way and made a flavorful dish that the entire family enjoyed..........

Goguma Twigim (Pan-Fried Sweet Potatoes)

Goguma Twigim (Pan-Fried Sweet Potatoes) by jason kim

The kids love their goguma twigim (fried sweet potatoes) and we happily oblige making it for them if we have the ingredients available. They taste great, provide a lot of health benefits, and they're easy to make. We make it at least several times a month for them. Besides this we also make them steamed sweet potatoes, which is a…

Soon Dubu Jjigae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew)

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. But for this particular Korean dish (which is one of my favorites), I always find myself hesitating and then falling into deep nostalgia. During my time in Seoul, I remember ordering this spicy…

Korean Hobak Jeon (Zucchini Pancake)

Korean Hobak Jeon (Zucchini Pancake) by jason kim

Instead of our usual haemul pajeon (seafood/scallion pancake) that we like to make for our late night snack, we chose something lighter and healthier, hobak jeon (zucchini pancakes). And since we didn't have this recipe on our blog list, it was nice to get it over with despite the missus wanting something more meaty and hearty. This…

Gochu Jeon (Stuffed Chili Peppers)

Gochu Jeon (Stuffed Chili Peppers) by mykoreaneats

It’s been a while since I made one of the many kinds of Korean jeons, so it was only natural that I make some when I came into possession of a handful of local chili peppers. And continuing with my healthier diet and lifestyle, I decided to make this gochu jeon without any ground pork or beef. Since these particular jeons are pretty…

Korean Kimchi (Spicy Fermented Cabbage)

Korean Kimchi (Spicy Fermented Cabbage) by jason kim

I finally made my first official batch of kimchi (fermented spicy cabbage) last week with some success and now just finishing up the editing and writing part of it. My version came out pretty good--the result being a mild (as in not so spicy), fresh taste with a surprising crunch to each bite. The only thing that might have made it…

Baek Kimchi (White Non-Spicy Kimchi)

Baek Kimchi (White Non-Spicy Kimchi) by jason kim

Now that we successfully finished our batch of kimchi a couple weeks ago, we thought venturing into other kimchi domains would be suitable and easier, especially with the warming of the weather. So we decided to make some baek kimchi (white kimchi), which is basically the opposite of its cousin, the regular spicy kimchi. However, this…

Kimchi Jjigae w Kongnamul (Spicy Kimchi Stew w Soybean Sprouts)

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

For as much as we make our usual spicy, fiery, meaty kimchi jjigae (at least once a week), one would probably think we would get tired of it especially in this warmer weather (not one bit). But we did do something different by varying our usual…

Pyogo Pajeon (Scallion Pancake w Shiitake Mushrooms)

Pyogo Pajeon (Scallion Pancake w Shiitake Mushrooms) by jason kim

When we need something quick and tasty for the kids' afternoon snack, we usually go to our favorite pajeon (literally scallion pancake) recipe and add whatever vegetables and seafood we have available in the fridge. This time we thought shiitake mushrooms would be a good match and it certainly was. We love shiitake mushrooms for its…
