Hoddeok !

My favorite snack in Seoul! I found some with syrup in them, japchae, or different nuts in the typical Busan’s Hoddeok… I did exactly the same recipe that Maangchi’s but it was quite difficult for me to deal with the sticky dough. ^^’ As I am not a big fan of cinnamon, it is too […]

Gotgamssam (Walnuts wrapped in persimmons)

Hi everybody! I’m so excited to introduce you to a Korean dessert (or snack) called gotgamssam. You need only 2 ingredients: gotgam (dried persimmons) and hodu (walnuts)!

Walnuts

Roasted walnuts are usually used in Korean cuisine for desserts, snacks, or porridges.

Just “skewer”ing around with asparagus

I needed something to do with some asparagus I recently bought and I found Maangchi’s pasanjeok recipe. I didn’t have any carrots and substituted brown sugar for the honey in the marinade for the beef. Absolutely delicious! The recipe is here.

Spicy rice cake: Beef Tteokbokki
