Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Sesame Sauce

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Sesame Sauce by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious healthy grilled side or main dish. In Korea, this is commonly served by street vendors, especially during the bitter winter. I enjoy it just as much during the summer. In Korea they dip the sweet potato into the sauce. I typically just split the sweet potato like a regular baked potato, and spoon the sauce over…

Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi)

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…

Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops

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…

Korean potato side dish

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…

Kyochon Korean Chicken

Kyochon Korean Chicken by jason kim

We love our chicken (baked, fried, grilled, sauteed, slow cooked, any way you can imagine) so the kids and I were delighted to have a taste of mommy's version of Korea's most popular fried chicken, Kyochon chicken. For anyone who has lived in Korea (well, now in California and New York too), Kyochon has a unique frying technique…

Korean Marinated Flank Steak

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…

Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake)

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…

Herb Samgyupsal w Garlic n Onion

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…

Korean Spicy Tofu

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.

Gamjatang (pork bone soup)

Gamjatang (pork bone soup) by Chez la mere

courtesy Toronto Sun Jennifer Bain adamant that the pork must be soaked in cold water — preferably overnight and with several water changes — to draw out the blood. The rule of thumb for pork bone soup is two meaty pork bones and one white potato per person. Napa cabbage should be blanched and cut in “one mouthful size.” Ginger and…

Korean Peach Bulgogi Tacos

Korean Peach Bulgogi Tacos by Bob Vincent

This is a fusion take on Korean Bulgogi. The recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Cuisine At Home recently. Traditionally Asian pears would be used in the marinade. Since pears are not in season now I elected to use peaches instead. I added several different ingredients to add to the flavor profile and mix different…

Chilled Cinnamon & Ginger Tea

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.
