This garlic chive kimchi is one of my favorite kimchi. This recipe doesn’t require any soaking in salt water which makes it easier and quicker to make. Garlic chives have their own unique flavor and they are healthy. The down side is, you might smell like garlic after eating, but, it is very delicious and worth it.

This Korean date and ginger tea is a simple homemade tea. It is good both hot or cold. It tastes good and it is also good for colds. Koreans believe that dates and ginger help keep the body warm, so it is especially good in the winter. Dates, ginger, honey, and pine nuts are all healthy ingredients.

This tuna pancake is a type of lunch box side-dish in Korea. I think that some foods match better with others for taste, texture, or nutritional value. Canned tuna matches great with sesame leaves (perilla) in that point. So, the tuna, sesame leaves, and mayonnaise (or ketchup) are sometimes used together in some Korean dishes. Simply mix the tuna with some other vegetables and fry, then dip in ketchup or mayonnaise for a great taste.

Tteokbokki is one of the most popular Korean street food and snack in Korea. If you are familiar with tteokbokki, you will easily think of the spicy red tteokbokki. However, today I will show you a very different flavor (but delicious) of tteokbokki, royal palace tteokbokki. (We also call it soy sauce tteokbokki = 간장 떡볶이 = ganjang tteokbokki) The reason they call it royal palace tteokbokki is this dish originated from one of the dishes that they served for the king or his royal family in Korean history. Wow, a dish that Korean kings and queens used to eat, isn’t it special? hehe… The soy sauce mixed with other seasonings and vegetables gives the sticky rice cakes a great taste. Try this delicious tteokbokki someday. : D
