Reply To: What would you guys advice me to cook for my family as a first korean dish?

I think you are the best person to decide what dish is best for your family. For instance, my family loves spicy food so, their first Korean dish was bibimbap, then deokgalbi, and lately sambap. They love every dish so much. I’ve made also successfully doenjang jjiggae.

In my case, I tried to make dishes I found specially different to the ones of my country cuisine. Gochujang and doenjang make it totally different. Otherwise, dishes like japchae, although they are ok, they are nothing special for me so I don’t make them for my family either.

My advice: just think if they like spicy or not, think what dish you like specially and if you think your family would enjoy it too and act accordinly.

Good luck!
