Hello everybody! Today’s recipe is for Korean style oxtail soup (called sokkoritang: 소꼬리탕 in Korean)! Many of you have requested this recipe over years but eventually today’s the day that I release it! It’s one of my new cookbook recipes, so some of you who have my book will be excited to open the page! […]
Dakbokkeumtang (닭볶음탕) is very popular spicy chicken dish in Korea. It’s also called dakdoritang (닭도리탕). This video is a remake of an earlier one I made in 2011 in Amsterdam with my reader Sarah. It was during my Gapshida tour, and Sarah hosted a meetup in her house. Ever since then when I have dakbokkeumtang […]
Hello everybody! I know some of you are growing perilla leaves (Kkaennip, 깻잎 in Korean) in your garden.

Today’s recipe is for braised lotus roots (yeon-geun-jorim: 연근조림), something that my readers and viewers have been requesting for years! The roots taste somewhere between a potato and a radish, and braising them (cooking at low heat in sauce) like this makes for a sweet, salty, and chewy side dish. It’s for special occasions and not something […]
Today I’m going to show you a great way to eat cooked octopus: as tenderly cooked slices served with a nutty sesame dipping sauce. This is the traditional Korean style to eat octopus, called Muneo-sukhoe (문어숙회). When I lived in Korea, I ate octopus this way all the time. I remember one time my whole family went to visit my […]
Whenever the season changes, I always love to see the fresh, new ingredients available at the farmers’ market and the Korean grocery store. I love to cook with these ingredients, and I love to eat them, but I’m sometimes not sure if I should use them in my recipe videos, because they might be unfamiliar to a […]
Everyone knows that the deliciousness of dumplings depends on the filling. Tasty, succulent, and savory, these shrimp and Asian chive dumplings are simple to make and simply impressive. Make your own dumpling skins for another upgrade.
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.
