My family and I love Korean food. Ever since I found your website about a year ago I try new things from it as often as I can. Some things have made it into our regular rotation such as dububuchim yangnyeomjang, bulgogi and home made kimchi. Last night we had a Korean date night and made bulgogi with lettuce wraps, pajeon (we’ve tried kimchi jeon before but this was a first for pajeon and we loved it). We also tried for the first time your recipe for musaengchae, it was a bit hit, we will definitely be doing that often! Thanks for putting the time into your recipes and website, we are huge fans in our house and look forward to what our next new Korean food adventure will be!
