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…

Korean Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup) by jason kim

Although there wasn’t a lot of time for cooking or eating, I got to experience a semi-instant tteokguk for New Year’s Day thanks to a good friend of mine who is also adept at cooking (yah, someone else finally doing the cooking!). For those who are unfamiliar with tteokguk.....full story and recipe at www.mykoreaneats.com

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…

Steak Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cakes w Steak) by jason kim

I made this quick but delicious version of tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) with one of my favorite ingredients--steak. Instead of the usual fish cakes (odaeng), I substituted it with big chunks of steak and a different shaped tteok called joraengee tteok..

Bugeo Guk (Dried Pollack Soup) by jason kim

We had ourselves a light and healthy bugeo guk (dried pollack soup) with our meal tonight. We have been holding off on this dish simply because it's a ripoff to buy at our local Korean market (we paid $13 for an 8 oz bag) and wanted to wait until our next trip to Chicago where we could buy some higher quality and less expensive Korean…

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…

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…

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 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-Style Hamburg Steak w Tomato Gravy by mykoreaneats

While growing up in the States, I never had the Korean version of the original Salisbury steak, but I did live off the latter through microwave meals in college. The cheap, red Banquet variety and Swanson’s Hungry-Man Dinner come to mind. I still remember how good those tasted back in the days.....

Goguma Twigim (Pan-Fried Sweet Potatoes) by jason kim

The kids love their goguma twigim (fried sweet potatoes) and we happily oblige making it for them if we have the ingredients available. They taste great, provide a lot of health benefits, and they're easy to make. We make it at least several times a month for them. Besides this we also make them steamed sweet potatoes, which is a…
