  1. Pajeon (Green onion pancake)

    Ever since I blogged about a pancake I made with wild green onions I picked in Central Park, many people expressed interest in the recipe through my blog, email, and Facebook page. So I decided to take another field trip to pick more wild green onions and mugwort to make video recipes with the ingredients. […]

  2. Emergency Kimchi (Yangbaechu-kimchi)

    A simple and rapid method I developed for making kimchi.

  3. Jatjuk (pine nut porridge)

    Pine nut porridge (Jatjuk)

    Beautifully white, mild in taste, warm and satisfying, I’ve never seen anybody who doesn’t like pine nut porridge (jatjuk). The recipe is also very simple, made with just a few ingredients, and it’s super-nutritious!

  4. Chwinamul (Sautéed aster scaber)

    When I lived in Korea, whenever I saw fresh chwinamul in the open air market for the first time in spring, I felt that spring was really in the air! And when I tasted chwinamul for the first time that year, I felt revitalized with energy from its slightly bitter taste and distinctive flavor. …Dried chwinamul is very tough and hard, and each stem looks like a thin thread. How can you possibly make it edible? It will never get softer by soaking in cold water for only 30 minutes. You’ll have to soak it overnight!

  5. Babette’s Korean feast

    Jenny made everybody happy by cooking Korean food! She reminded me of my favorite movie Babette’s Feast. Yes, she is the Singapore version of Babette.

  6. Dipping sauce for raw fish (Doenjang-banga)

    Hi everybody! Today I have a short and simple – but fun – video recipe for doenjangbanga. When I was in the island of Roatan in Honduras, I chartered a boat and a few men for snorkeling and fishing. We started at about 11:00 am and came back about 4:00 pm. It was an awesome experience […]

  7. Goguma mattang

    Candied sweet potato (Mattang: 맛탕)

    Mattang is a delicious, easy to make sweet that’s chunks of sweet potato coated in translucent hot brown syrup. They are super crunchy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. It’s so simple and easy to make but freshly made mattang is really irresistible, with an amazing, loud crispy crunch but then […]

  8. Ox bone soup (Seolleongtang)

    The milky broth is achieved by simmering for hours and hours. There’s no rule to how many hours you have to boil it, but I can tell you that you need simmer until you get a milky broth, and the bones are smooth with no more meat is sticking to them. The bone marrow should be all boiled away so that there’s a cavity in the center of each bone. The inside of the bones should look like a sponge.
