This Korean version of Japanese shabu-shabu is fun to make and fun to eat. It’s the perfect warm, cozy dish for cooking, eating, talking, and drinking together with friends and family.
Today I’d like to introduce you to a delicious, braised fish dish, made with a fish called galchi in Korean. It has a lot of names in English like hartail. cutlassfish, and ribbonfish, but I like beltfish, becaue it’s a very long, thin, silvery fish, and it looks like a shiny belt. Tender, delicate, and […]
When it starts to get colder like it is these days, I make bone broth for me and my family, every year. Koreans consider bone broth to be very nutritious and rejuvenating, which is why I like to fortify my family’s bodies for the wintertime. We believe that it makes you strong, so we bring […]
Today I’m going to show you a fun way to cook rice: in a hollowed-out eggshell! It’s called gyeran-kkeopjilbap in Korean. My grandmother used to cook rice in a cauldron over a fire. While the rice was simmering my grandmother would grill fish over the embers or just tuck a potato or sweet potato in […]
Hello everybody. Today I’m going to introduce you to one of my favorite Korean noodle soups. I really love Korean guksu noodle soup because it has a light, clear broth, is incredibly savory and is not greasy at all, so I have it at least once or twice a week. It leaves me feeling refreshed […]
Happy New Year! For my first video for 2021, I chose something easy, simple, fast, and healthy. Broccoli with tofu, or broccoli dubu-muchim (브로콜리 두부무침) in Korean. Some of you are probably familiar with this dish because many Korean restaurants serve it as a side dish. This is a more modern Korean dish as broccoli […]
Today’s recipe is my all-time favorite quick emergency side dish, seasoned seaweed sheets (gim-muchim 김무침). Sometimes when I want something easy to make and eat, and all I have on hand is kimchi, this is a side dish I can make fast and then serve with kimchi and rice. It’s basically just toasted gim mixed […]

I’ve been getting a lot of great feedback from my last recipe, healthy vegetable rice bowl, because so many people are staying at home and cooking with their families these days. More and more people are interested in easy, nutritious, and delicious meals so I came up with this idea to make kimchi hand-torn noodle […]
Today I will introduce you to a one pot meal! It’s a healthy and delicious rice bowl with lots of vegetables and mushrooms. When the warm rice is mixed with spicy gochujang and a sweet, savory, onion-y seasoning sauce, you won’t believe how wonderful it is! In the old days, white rice was very precious […]
This time I will introduce you to bok choy tofu doenjangguk. Doenjangguk is a soup made with Korean fermented soybean paste (doenjang) and a staple of Korean cuisine. This recipe is made with tofu and bok choy but there are many different types made with different ingredients. The one constant, unskippable ingredient is doenjang, which […]
These cold, spicy noodles served on a large platter, called jaengban-guksu, were a really trendy in Korea when my children were young. They were all over the media and my friends and I all made them for our families. When developing this recipe I asked my daughter if she remembered me making this for her […]
Today’s recipe is spicy beef and vegetable soup, called dakgaejang. It’s a delicious hot and spicy soup, and with just one small chicken you can feed a lot of people. That’s good value! And if you’re making it for yourself just freeze the leftovers and eat them for a while. If you made my yukgaejang […]
Last night I had a meetup at my friend’s budae-jjigae restaurant in Seoul (김이박부대찌개). This meetup wasn’t planned much in advance, I was in Seoul and I wanted to meet my readers and viewers because I’m here. I was surprised that a lot of people who came last night were also travelers in Korea, just […]
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.
