North Korean Style Tofu Rice

북한식 두부밥, BukHanSik DuBuBap

by Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone,
If the most famous street food in South Korea is TteokBokkI (Spicy Rice Cake Dish), in North Korea, it is DuBuBap (tofu rice), which I would like to introduce to you today. This North Korean food that I stumbled across on TV made me think that I should make and eat it someday. After studying how the North Koreans make this on the Internet, I made my own delicious recipe. I made some changes to this that I wanted, but the finished food is very satisfying. Despite the fact that tofu is not a personally preferred ingredient for me, this tofu rice is so delicious that I keep eating it. Filled with seasoned rice in a tofu that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and served with delicious seasoning, the taste is the best. Be sure to make this tofu rice someday. I bet my vegan or vegetarian subscribers will be so happy to try this.

Korean radish is often used for cooking soup in Korean cuisine. Among different ways to cook it, today I will show you how to make a very spicy and delicious radish and beef soup called MaeUn SoGoGi MuGuk (매운 소고기 무국) in Korean. The tender radish and beef along with flavorful and spicy broth make a perfect soup, especially when you are hungry for something spicy. If you don’t have any appetite or need energy, this soup is recommended. After eating a bowl of soup, you will feel that your mood and condition is improving.

Sweet Potato Jeon

고구마 전, GoGuMa Jeon

by Leave a Comment

A deep fried sweet potato dish called GoGuMa TwiGim (고구마 튀김) is a popular street food in Korean. Some Koreans make it at home, but since it is a deep fried food, and you have to deal with the leftover frying oil, it is not always an easy option to choose. (I already shared the recipe before, so you can check it out.) Therefore, we make it as a simpler version pan frying them instead, which I’m going to teach you how to do in this post. I seasoned the sweet potatoes for use as a side dish, but you can also enjoy it as a snack food. The slightly sweet and salty flavor, along with its crispy and soft texture make it a great dish.

Oyster and Radish Side-dish

굴 무생채, Gul MuSaengChae

When it is the right season (winter), fresh oysters can be transformed into an amazingly delicious Korean side-dish with some Korean radish and seasoning ingredients. If you ever tried new kimchi with fresh oyster inside, you will know the great taste of raw oyster. Today, I will show you a tasty side-dish called Gul MuSaengChae (굴 무생채) in Korean. The crunchy salted radish and soft fresh oyster with Korean style spicy and savory seasoning make this dish very special. Since the weather is getting hotter, it is not a good time to eat raw oyster, but you definitely need to try it when winter comes back. 🙂

Stir-fried Hot Dogs and Cabbage

양배추 소세지 볶음, YangBaeChu SoSeJi BokkEum

by Leave a Comment

We know that cabbage is very healthy, bu cabbage doesn’t seem to get picked for cooking as often, compared to other vegetables. Why? Maybe because of its bitter flavor and tough texture? Or maybe because we just don’t know how to enjoy it much? Here, I brought one way to enjoy cabbage in a Korean side-dish called YangBaeChu SoSeJi BokkEum (양배추 소세지 볶음). You can simply use oyster sauce as the only seasoning, or you can also use a few more seasoning ingredients that I will list in more detail later. This stir fried cabbage covered with the smoky flavor from the hotdogs and savory oyster sauce flavor is just amazing.
