	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
	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
	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
	Gochu Jeon (Stuffed Chili Peppers) by mykoreaneats It’s been a while since I made one of the many kinds of Korean jeons, so it was only natural that I make some when I came into possession of a handful of local chili peppers. And continuing with my healthier diet and lifestyle, I decided to make this gochu jeon without any ground pork or beef. Since these particular jeons are pretty…	1 vote 2391 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 Kimchi Jeon (Kimchi Pancakes) by jason kim I got to experiment making another anju (alcoholic side dish) called kimchi jeon (korean pancakes) recently when we had some friends drive all the way up from Oklahoma for a quick trip to Chicago and decided to swing by Madison ......full story at http://www.oliviajasonkim.com	1 vote 1912 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
