How about making some Korean food during the holidays? Some of my readers told me that they are planning Korean food parties during the upcoming holidays. I think it’s a great idea! These are my picks and suggestions for delicious Korean food that you can make over the holidays with your family!
The milky broth is achieved by simmering for hours and hours. There’s no rule to how many hours you have to boil it, but I can tell you that you need simmer until you get a milky broth, and the bones are smooth with no more meat is sticking to them. The bone marrow should be all boiled away so that there’s a cavity in the center of each bone. The inside of the bones should look like a sponge.
Collard greens are not a familiar vegetable in Korean cuisine. However, since the vegetable is nutritious, healthy, and delicious, I wanted to use it in my cooking. First I tried to make kimchi with it, but it turned out too tough. Then I tried cooked collard greens at a BBQ restaurant in New York and […]
I’m introducing Korean style salty cucumber pickles (oijangajji). Unlike Western cucumber pickles, oijangajji is seasoned with a lot of other condiments and spices, which makes it good for side dishes. After we make the pickles I’ll show you how to make two side dishes that use oijangajji. When you choose cucumbers, make sure they are […]
I went to my friend’s cottage in the Catskill mountains, located in upstate New York, about 2 hours driving from New York City. There were about 20 guests and I found all good homemade food!

On Feb.16 at 7:00 pm at a restaurant in Garden Grove, Los Angeles, I got together with 11 of my viewers. “Oh, Maangchi!” “Wow, wow!” “I was worried about today’s weather because it has been raining all day. I drove more than 50 miles to come here!” “I can’t believe I’m sitting with Maangchi!” I […]

Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
