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 […]
This recipe is for mushroom lovers! I love any kind of mushrooms. Their earthy flavor, savory taste and most of all their texture, a little crispy and chewy at the same time. This recipe is for stir fried oyster mushrooms, which really shows off these mushrooms’ taste and texture and is a little nutty from […]

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 […]

This classic Korean street food recipe is not all that old, but it supports endless variations and room to experiment. It’s a hot, sweet, sour, juicy and crispy sandwich usually made right in front of you in a street stall on the go. Here’s how to make it at home — don’t skimp on the shredded cabbage!
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.

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 […]

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 […]
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.
