Today we are celebrating my cousin Inge’s birthday! This time we are surprising our family with Korean food!
Erik made his all-time favorite, Korean style pork belly, We are also bringing some dakgangjeong and we made around 50 mandu for the first time! Ofcourse we had to taste them first! Instead of using shitake mushroom, I’ve used some celery and added some Chinese mushroom sauce for extra flavour!
Have a cool photo you want to share?
Which to get? my first book 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. Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking.
