	Korean Kimbap by Organic Cocktail Recipes I've only done cocktail recipes, but I thought I'd share some of my favorite Korean food recipes. The first one is my kimbap recipe. Kimbap is akin to the Japanese California Roll. Filled with rice, spinach, eggs, imitation crab meat and pickled radish (daikon), this is one of Korea's favorite snack food as it is easy to make and easy…	1 vote 6149 views
	Korean Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup) by jason kim Although there wasn’t a lot of time for cooking or eating, I got to experience a semi-instant tteokguk for New Year’s Day thanks to a good friend of mine who is also adept at cooking (yah, someone else finally doing the cooking!).

	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
	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..........	1 vote 5912 views
	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…	1 vote 2176 views
	Korean Gaeran Mari (Stuffed Egg Omelette w Cheese) by jason kim The wife is usually in charge of this Korean appetizer dish called gaeran mari (stuffed egg omelette) because it takes some finesse (which I lack) and real cooking skills to roll the omelette at the right time. So far, I have failed incredibly two times, simply because I started flipping/curling too early and it broke to…	1 vote 2716 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
	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…	1 vote 1742 views
	Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup) by jason kim It's been a long time since we've eaten tteokguk (rice cake soup) so it was a pleasant surprise when the wife took over the reigns in the kitchen and surprised me and the kids with this delicious Korean soup. Tteokguk is a traditional dish enjoyed by many (if not all Koreans) during the Lunar New Year holiday. The rice cake used to…	1 vote 1 comment 9013 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 Extra Crispy Fried Chicken by jason kim Here is another super-crispy fried chicken recipe that we made recently along with a sweet n tangy sauce.

	Fruit Kimbab (Korean Seaweed Rice Rolls w Fruit) by jason kim It was a nice surprise today to be greeted with some kimbab that the wife made for me (and the kids) as a snack for work. Though I have never made or attempted to make kimbab myself, I know how time-consuming it can be so I was thankful to her. Kimbab is one of the more popular and healthy foods that Koreans love, especially those who…	1 vote 2019 views
