Kalbi (Marinated Short Ribs)

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…

Galbi Tang (Beef Short Ribs Soup)

Galbi Tang (Beef Short Ribs Soup) by jason kim

We made another slow-simmering beef soup last night called galbitang, which includes beef short ribs, Korean radish (moo), and glass noodles (dangmyun). Actually we were missing some breakfast items for the kids (no milk & juice) so it was out of default that we made this dish. This hearty soup is similar to seollongtang (a…

Maeun Bulgogi 매운 불고기 (Spicy Korean Barbecue Beef) by jason kim

After being pleasantly surprised with the visit to K-Peppers (Korean fusion restaurant) in Middleton, I had to try and copy their delicious, spicy version of bulgogi (thinly sliced barbecue beef, or translated literally as “fire meat”). For those who don’t know what bulgogi is, it’s thinly sliced rib eye steak (or another prime cut…

Gori Gomtang (Korean Oxtail Soup) by jason kim

The weather turned cold for a brief moment here (but luckily warmed up the last few days) so we were thinking of different soups to make other than our usual kimchi jigae (spicy kimchi stew). Then one day while perusing the meat section of the grocery store, we found oxtails just calling out our names. Okay it didn't actually happen…

Jang Jorim (Soy Beef Strips) w Hard Boiled Eggs by jason kim

Today we made one of my favorite meat side dishes called jang jorim, which is basically strips of beef (usually made from brisket) that has been boiled in soy sauce and other ingredients. It is quite salty to be eaten alone, but it is a great complement with rice and soup dishes. The peculiar aspect of this dish is the addition of…

Kogi Kimchi Quesadillas by jason kim

We finally got to try something other than our usual haemul pajeon (Korean scallion & seafood pancake) for our late-night snack when I ran into an article mentioning Chef Roy Choi, the man behind the famous Kogi BBQ truck and the man who inspired us with tonight's appetizer recipe--kimchi quesadillas.....full story and recipe at…

Korean Curry Rice 카레라이스

Korean Curry Rice 카레라이스 by jason kim

The missus made one of our regular Korean meals and a favorite with the kids: Korean-style curry (pronounced karae in Korean). Though we make this dish practically every week or two, we thought posting an updated recipe would be nice because it's such an awesome family dish. The best thing about Korean curry (either in powder or block…
