My Mom’s Kimchi Recipe

엄마 김치, EomMa Kimchi

Hi everyone! This summer, my family traveled to Korea and made many good memories there. Among them, personally, I really enjoyed making kimchi with my mom and I finally got her kimchi recipe to share with you. In my opinion, she makes the best kimchi ever. I wrote down her recipe with an exact amount of each ingredient, which made my mom a little frustrated because Korean mothers do not usually cook with a recipe, instead, they cook with their instinct. So, it is often hard to get the same result as them without careful measurements. Anyway, today I feel happy that I can share this treasure with you. So let’s get started.

Zucchini Muchim

Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables in Korean cooking. I can fry, deep fry, or steam it, and I can add it to soup or other dishes. One day, I wanted to try something fun and simple using some zucchini in my refrigerator. I grabbed some other vegetables that I had such as sweet peppers and green onions. I did not want to make batter for the zucchini so that it would make a lighter dish. So I came up with this recipe from what I had, and I really enjoyed eating it for lunch. The fried zucchini without any seasoning or batter tasted great with the sauce. This can be a good appetizer for a party because it looks pretty and can work as a finger food. Of course, the taste is great too. 😉

Zucchini NaMul

This is another version of a Korean zucchini side dish. My sister-in-law gave me a very fresh zucchini from her garden the other day, so I made this delicious side dish. When I was a kid, I liked making a simple bibimbap with this whenever my mom made it. To make that simple bibimbap, mix some cooked rice, this side dish, red pepper paste, kimchi, a fried egg, and some sesame oil to make a wonderfully simple bibimbap. 🙂 If you are a vegetarian, you can skip the anchovies. And you can skip the hot pepper if you don’t like spicy food.

Hi! Long time no see. I’m sorry that I have not been able to upload videos for a couple of weeks due to my Internet issue. Did you miss me and my recipes? I hope you did. 😉 Anyway, it is so nice to upload a video after a long time. Today I prepared a delicious recipe that vegetarians and everyone else will love. It is a spicy stir-fried tofu dish called “kkanpung dubu” in Korean. This spicy, sweet, sour crispy tofu dish changed Bryson’s thoughts about tofu. If you are not a big fan of tofu like him, then please watch this video and try it someday. So, let’s get started.

Hi everyone! Recently, I tried a unique Korean side that my Korean church friend made and I fell in love with it right away. It was so good, I thought to share the recipe with you. I learned how to make it from my friend, and today I’m going to share the recipe with you. It is made with walnuts, peanuts, and beef, along with a Korean style sauce that is sweet and savory. I know there are Korean side-dishes made with peanuts, walnuts, and beef, but I’ve never tried one that combine all of them together. lol The result was beyond my expectation. So, let’s get started.
