Korean Kimbap

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…

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…

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..........

Gochu Jeon (Stuffed Chili Peppers)

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…

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…

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…

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…

Dubu Kimchi 두부 김치 (Tofu w Sauted Kimchi) by jason kim

Like many weekend nights, we try to make something extra special after the kids go to sleep (usually something with more spice and kick to it) and this time we made some delicious dubu kimchi (tofu with sauteed kimchi). The best part about this dish is its simplicity and ingredients (basically two), and since most Koreans have a ready…

Dak Galbi (Spicy Chicken Stir Fry)

Dak Galbi (Spicy Chicken Stir Fry) by jason kim

Dak galbi is another spicy stirred-fried chicken dish that all Koreans seem to love. The main dish between this and other spicy dishes is the addition of cabbabe and usually perilla leaves, giving it a distinct and satisfying aroma. There are many dak galbi restaurants/quasi-bars that set up a single, large frying pan in the center of…
