	Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi) by John Spottiswood I adapted this recipe from one in Bon Appetit and another from Chef John (foodwishes.blogspot.com). Chef John recommended blending an asian pear into the marinade to help tenderize the meat. I didn't have an asian pear, so I substituted a fuji apple and reduced the sugar slightly. I thought the resulting marinade, and ribs, were…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 11453 views
	Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops by John Spottiswood This is an old favorite that I've made since my days living in Chicago. We lived near the main Korean part of town (near Lawrence I think) and frequently ate Bulgogi. One day I bought some boneless pork chops and tried to create my own marinade. This one is close. I do it somewhat by taste, and you can play with the quantities a…	4 votes 1 review 1 comment 7427 views
	Korean potato side dish by John Spottiswood I always love these sweet and salty braised potatoes when they are served along with kimchi and various other side dishes at korean restaurants. I've always wanted to make them, and grilling Galbi gave me the perfect opportunity. I started with a recipe from maangchi.com and substituted a mix of sugar and mirin for the corn syrup…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 8995 views
	Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake) by jason kim It's been a while since we had pajeon (literally translated pa=green onion/scallions and jeon=pancake, thus green onion pancake) since our California days with unlimited makgeolli (fermented rice wine). But for the sake of adding to our recipe list, we decided to make haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) for tonight while the kids spend…	2 votes 1 review 4115 views
	Herb Samgyupsal w Garlic n Onion by jason kim Although I accepted samgyupsal (grilled pork belly; aka thick bacon) into my late-night diet of soju and beer outings while living in Seoul back in the days, I really didn't have a strong yearning for it when I returned back to the States. One reason was that it too closely resembled something that I didn't really care for in the…	2 votes 4071 views
	Korean Spicy Tofu by John Spottiswood This is an easy and tasty dish to serve either as a small main course or as a side dish with other Korean food. The Korean recipe I have does not recommend serving it with lemon juice, but I think it cuts the saltiness and spiciness of the dish nicely.	2 votes 4155 views
	Chilled Cinnamon & Ginger Tea by Kimi We had this drink after our meal when we went to a Korean restaurant. It was amazing. It's rich, spicey, zingy and sweet all at the same time.	1 vote 2155 views
	Neoguri (Spicy Seafood Ramen) by jason kim Although we are big fans of the spicy Shin-ramen noodles, Neoguri instant noodles have a unique, seafood flavor with slightly larger noodles that make for a good meal. Today we decided to make it a little more "seafoody" by adding mussels to the mix and letting it boil longer for a deeper broth. Also, if my memory serves me correct,…	1 vote 2723 views
	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…	1 vote 1230 views
	Ojingeo Twigim (Fried Squid aka Calamari) by jason kim The wifey was in charge of making the kids' afternoon snack and surprised us all with a pretty common Korean street food ojingeo twigim, which is essentially another word for a more popular Western name calamari. This dish is also often served as an anju (drinking side dish) with many Koreans snacking on this while chugging away on…	1 vote 2083 views
	Shrimp Udon w Fish Cakes & Poached Egg by jason kim Udon, (or udong as most Koreans say) is a great noodle dish that can be enjoyed morning, day, or night. It is a popular dish in both Korea and Japan (where it originated), and you can find this tasty, instant version in most Asian grocers. When we get tired of the usual ramen variety, we like to change things up with udon noodles…	1 vote 1921 views
	Gamja Jorim (Korean Glazed Potatoes) by jason kim Gamja jorim (Korean glazed potatoes) is another banchan (side dish) that we made recently that is appealing for its sweet taste and ease of cooking. It can either be made a little sweeter or spicier (with more red pepper flakes) so it appeals to both kids and adults alike (and foreigners too). Also, making them in large amounts allow…	1 vote 2823 views
	Instant Bibim Myun (Korean Cold Spicy Noodles) by jason kim Though I am not a big fan of cold dishes, this instant bibim naengmyun (Korean cold noodles) is pretty refreshing and filling at the same time. The original instant version is simply cold noodles mixed in with the spicy hot sauce (which is great in itself despite its simplicity) but when you add some vegetables and lettuce it really…	1 vote 2402 views
	korean kongnamul guk (soybean sprout soup) by jason kim We had a very simple soup the other day called kongnamul guk (beansprout soup) and it couldn't have tasted better with its mild and refreshing broth. We are accustomed to eating spicy jjigaes (soup/stew) that Korean food is known for, so it was a nice change of pace to get something light and clean. The broth is made from boiling…	1 vote 1586 views
	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…	1 vote 2678 views
