	Korean Nakji Bokkeum (Spicy Octopus Stir Fry) by jason kim We finally got to enjoy a spicy seafood dish when we found some frozen octopus at the local Asian market. Instead of using our usual Korean store, which is handicapped with bad produce, limited ingredients, and overpricing, we have been finding more and more Korean items like this for our dishes.....full story and recipe at…	1 vote 3749 views

	Kyochon Korean Chicken by jason kim We love our chicken (baked, fried, grilled, sauteed, slow cooked, any way you can imagine) so the kids and I were delighted to have a taste of mommy's version of Korea's most popular fried chicken, Kyochon chicken. For anyone who has lived in Korea (well, now in California and New York too), Kyochon has a unique frying technique…	3 votes 6044 views
	Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi) by John Spottiswood I adapted this recipe from one in Bon Appetit and another from Chef John (foodwishes.blogspot.com). Chef John recommended blending an asian pear into the marinade to help tenderize the meat. I didn't have an asian pear, so I substituted a fuji apple and reduced the sugar slightly. I thought the resulting marinade, and ribs, were…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 11453 views
	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…	7 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 7831 views
	Korean potato side dish by John Spottiswood I always love these sweet and salty braised potatoes when they are served along with kimchi and various other side dishes at korean restaurants. I've always wanted to make them, and grilling Galbi gave me the perfect opportunity. I started with a recipe from maangchi.com and substituted a mix of sugar and mirin for the corn syrup…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 8995 views
	Kongjaban (Korean Sweet Black Beans) by jason kim Today we made a healthy side dish to counter-balance all the meat we have been eating. It's called kongjaban (Korean sweet black beans), that has been pre-soaked for a lengthy time (to aid in digestion and reduce flatulence :) and cooked in some soy sauce. It's a sweet and nutty banchan side dish, and they are filled with a good dose…	1 vote 3390 views
	Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops by John Spottiswood This is an old favorite that I've made since my days living in Chicago. We lived near the main Korean part of town (near Lawrence I think) and frequently ate Bulgogi. One day I bought some boneless pork chops and tried to create my own marinade. This one is close. I do it somewhat by taste, and you can play with the quantities a…	4 votes 1 review 1 comment 7427 views
	Korean Extra Crispy Fried Chicken w Sweet Spicy Glaze by jason kim Here is yet another Korean fried chicken recipe that we made recently with a sweet & spicy glaze. We have been yearning for something hot and spicy and we finally got it. The extra heat came from using Thai chili peppers (aka Bird's eye chili peppers) that we found at the local Asian market. These cute, little peppers are quite…	1 vote 1 comment 6209 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

	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
	Korean Spicy Tofu by John Spottiswood This is an easy and tasty dish to serve either as a small main course or as a side dish with other Korean food. The Korean recipe I have does not recommend serving it with lemon juice, but I think it cuts the saltiness and spiciness of the dish nicely.	2 votes 4155 views
	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…	1 vote 3736 views
	Dak Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Chicken) by jason kim We have been meaning to do this dish for a while but didn't want to deal with cutting up chicken thighs for 20 minutes. But being the dutiful man and cook of the household, I decided to get my hands dirty and cut up some chicken things. In order to get a that single cut of "steak" from the thigh, it actually takes some precision and…	1 vote 1 comment 2826 views
