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…

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..........

Korean Gaeran Mari (Stuffed Egg Omelette w Cheese)

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…

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…

Korean Hobak Jeon (Zucchini Pancake)

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…

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…

Jang Jorim (Soy Beef Strips) w Hard Boiled Eggs

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…
