Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi)

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…

Korean potato side dish

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…

Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops

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…

Korean Extra Crispy Fried Chicken w Sweet Spicy Glaze

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…

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…

Kimchi Bokkeum Bab w Ginger (Fried Rice) by jason kim

My good friend and famous Aussie actor Hugh Jackman provided me some inspiration for tonight's dinner, Ginger Fried Rice Korean-style, a dish he apparently loves according to People magazine (but I'm thinking the wife would probably had benefited from some kind of soup for her sudden sickness). When he was younger, his father used to…

Korean Dak Juk (Chicken Porridge)

Korean Dak Juk (Chicken Porridge) by jason kim

Though I have tried to avoid getting too personal on the blog, I must admit that this recipe has a bitter-sweet story behind it [sigh]. We are still experiencing record-breaking heat here in the Midwest (100+ weather!), and this is supposed to be the last day of the heat wave according recent weather experts. For some reason, the…

Korean Curry Rice 카레라이스

Korean Curry Rice 카레라이스 by jason kim

The missus made one of our regular Korean meals and a favorite with the kids: Korean-style curry (pronounced karae in Korean). Though we make this dish practically every week or two, we thought posting an updated recipe would be nice because it's such an awesome family dish. The best thing about Korean curry (either in powder or block…

Instant Kimchi Ramyun (Spicy Kimchi Noodles)

Instant Kimchi Ramyun (Spicy Kimchi Noodles) by jason kim

As most Koreans will attest to, ramyun or instant noodles can be a saviour when in need of something quick and fast to eat. Fortunately for us, most of the Korean instant noodles are too spicy for the kids but just right us adults. We love the spiciness of the dish but always try to make it complete by ......full story and recipe at…
