Korean cuisine has many recipes that use shrimp, and I love them all, but today I’m going to show you how to make shrimp pancakes (saeujeon: saeu means shrimp and jeon means pancake) from jumbo shrimp. Yes, I said jumbo […]

You may have these kinds of questions now, because you’ve been cooking Korean food for a while and you can make delicious kimchi on a regular basis, so you want to know how this all fits together. My upcoming cookbook has […]
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking.
