KOREAN VERMICELLI (GLASS) SWEET POTATO NOODLES WITH VEGETABLES by Cecelia Heer

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…

Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peas by John Spottiswood

I love it when I stumble on a recipe that puts together ingredients I love, but wouldn't have thought of combining, and then far exceeds my expectations. This recipe, which I adapted from a new book we bought called Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet by Padma Lakshimi, really shines. She encourages the use of chinese long beans instead of…

Snow Peas with Garlic and Sesame Seeds by Salad Foodie

Snow peas aren’t white, so how do they come by their name? It might be because they grow at the end of winter, before the last spring freeze. Even if covered with snow at that time they still grow well. Snow peas cook in a flash, so the wok is ideal to get this legume to the table still crunchy and firm. Stirfry with garlic then top…

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…

Stir Fried Shitake Mushrooms, Cabbage & Baby Bok Choy by Bob Vincent

Here is a quick and easy stir fry vegetable dish. I love wok vegetables. I usually make them several times a week. They are nutritious, require very little fat to cook and are tasty. If you don't want alcohol omit the sake and use lemon juice instead; which is what I use most of the time. The key to stir frying is really high…

Kimchi Bokkeum Bab w Ginger (Fried Rice) by jason kim

My good friend and famous Aussie actor Hugh Jackman provided me some inspiration for tonight's dinner, Ginger Fried Rice Korean-style, a dish he apparently loves according to People magazine (but I'm thinking the wife would probably had benefited from some kind of soup for her sudden sickness). When he was younger, his father used to…
