Korean Food & Things
Hoddeok is a “traditional” Korean street vendor food. Korean people love to eat this delicious snack especially in the cold winter. It tastes best when it is warm. You can find the ingredients for this recipe easily anywhere, so I highly recommend this one. Do you like sticky buns or pecan rolls? If so, I bet you will love this.

Hi, mammoth bread is a popular Korean snack. Don’t worry though, this bread doesn’t contain any wooly mammoths in it. lol As you can see in the video, this bread is huge so it was named after the wooly mammoth. 😉 This bread is unforgettable not only because of the name, but also because of the delicious flavor. You can use any jam for the filling, and if you love whipped cream like me, I highly recommend using it as well. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to knead the dough, and I was very impressed. Please try this bread someday. Special thanks go out to Ragib Ahanaf, who requested this bread. I hope you like it. 🙂

There are different kinds of sticky rice cakes in Korean cuisine. One of them is a soft and chewy rice cake made with sweet rice flour and a sweet red bean paste filling. It is called ChapSsalTteok (A.K.A. ChalTteok or Mochi in Japanese). Inspired by that one, a Korean snack company started to make a chocolate covered chapssaltteok, which ended up being a big hit. Then, different companies came up with different ideas such as chocolate filling, peanut butter filling, etc. I loved the chocolate filling ones called choco chaltteok pie. So I decided to make it at home and made this delicious recipe for you. 😉 The sweet milk chocolate inside and out, along with the sweet chewy rice cakes, will make your mouth very happy. Try it someday.

Do you have any food or ingredient you don’t like to eat? In my case, one of them is peanut butter. lol Since so many people like peanut butter, I can see peanut butter related food everywhere around me. As a joke, my husband tells me I’m weird if I don’t like peanut butter. Anyway, I decided to make something with peanut butter to share with you. We have this peanut buttercream bread in Korean bakeries. But oops … I just started taste testing in my videos recently … what I should I do now? I don’t like peanut butter … should I try it? lol I do believe that there are people out there who don’t like peanut butter like me, or are unfortunately allergic to it. For those people, and me, I will also make a buttercream bread in the video. I’ll try it. How about that? hehe The result was very successful, so please try it someday.

Yakbap, literally “medicinal rice,” is a sweet Korean dish made with glutinous rice, chestnuts, jujubes, and pine nuts. It is seasoned with soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and sometimes cinnamon. It is traditionally eaten on Jeongwol Daeboreum (정월대보름), a Korean holiday which falls on the 15 of January in the lunar calendar. It is also used in weddings and other festivities. As the name implies, most of the ingredients for dish are thought to be good for your health. So, Korean people eat this dish as good luck for a healthy life and served it during special days to bless or celebrate others who they share it with. The slightly salty, sweet, and chewy rice with nutty and fruity flavors tastes great together. Typically, you would steam the rice, mix together the other ingredients, and then steam it again to make this dish. However, I will show you a shortcut version using a rice cooker. It is simpler to make, but it tastes just as good as the traditional way. Try it someday. 🙂
