I love love love this rice dish! I’m not a big fan of barley so I was a bit hesitant to add it in, I almost skipped it but later decided to follow the recipe exactly and then tweak from there. And surprise surprise (or not so much lol) I loved it! Lots of different textures and colours, made a really interesting change from regular white rice and healthier as well with the whole grains. Oh and it’s a million times better than the recipe I tried to invent because I was too impatient to wait for Maangchi’s lol! I added the green peas towards the end of cooking time so they stayed lovely and vibrant green! I served it with doenjang jjigae and homemade kimchi. I’m getting so good at Korean cooking!
I’m sure your japgokbap photo will make many of my readers smile because it’s so awesome! Each grain looks firm but fluffy! I love all these 3 photos. It’s such a delicious and well balanced meal!
Thanks so much Maangchi, I’m learning from the best!
