Spicy Shrimp Udon
Stir fried udon is probably my entire family’s all time favorite dinner menu. We all have such different tastes and usually eat dinner separately. But when I ask who is joining for dinner and announce that I am making stir fried udon, my mom, sister, and dad all get so excited. It’s funny because I…

Kimchi JJim
You’ve probably heard of kimchi jjigae, but less likely of kimchi jjim. They are super similar – pretty much the same thing. Jjigae, however, has a lot of broth and a little less kimchi and meat. Jjim is more like braised kimchi and meat with not that much broth. Jjim is a lot more concentrated…

Gimbap
Gimbap is referred to often as Korean sushi roll, but it is soooo far from it. It has no raw fish nor vinegar – it has fully cooked meat, a bunch of different vegetables, and sweet pickled radish. Every Korean household has their own way of making it. Some people put in ham, spinach, burdock…

Sweet & Spicy Baby Back Ribs
Baby back ribs are my family favorite. Each family member gets an entire rack of ribs to themselves, and we each donate a rib or two to our dog, Bongo. It is a happy day for all of us (: I grew up eating American barbeque, and love the finger-licking goodness of a Texan style…

Bossam and Radish Kimchi
Bossam – aka boiled pork – sounds not that good honestly. We Americans love our charred, crusted meat and the low-and-slow roasted pork. But bossam isn’t just boiled in water and tada it’s done. It is boiled on low heat with a bunch of vegetables and saucy goodness that seeps into the meat. Bossam is…

Strawberry Cobbler
My fiance’s favorite fruit is strawberry. But I only eat strawberry if it’s paired with something sweet like chocolate or ice cream. I just don’t like how tart it is. I’ve had some really good quality, expensive, super juicy and sweet strawberries too, but I think my first reaction is to flinch because I am…

Peach Cobbler
The end of summer is coming and the peaches are starting to fall in quality. I bought some peaches that weren’t the sweetest nor juiciest. But with fruits, that’s a blessing in disguise. Any time fruits are just okay means that you get to enjoy it in a dessert! Therefore, these peaches became a celebration…

Spicy Sausage Pasta
I’ve always had the same type of tomato pasta where you just add vegetables and meat to a jar of pasta sauce and serve. But one fateful day, I had Italian sausage for the first time at a restaurant. The spiciness and the herby-ness was so addicting, and I started using it to replace regular…

White Ragu Pappardelle
I appreciate a classic bolognese sauce. It’s meat, vegetables, tomato, broth, wine, and milk cooked together and simmered for about 8 hours until it forms a homogenous, deep-flavored sauce. But to be frank, I don’t think it’s worth the work. Though I appreciate and time put into it, I don’t like the taste of tomato…
