Korean Food & Things
Hi everyone,
These seafood fritters are often eaten by Koreans as a side dish, and they are very tasty and nutritious as the seafood, such as shrimp and squid, mix with various vegetables. It’s also great for lunch box side dishes and party and holiday foods. Try them someday.

Today, I will show you how to make one of my favorite Korean side dishes. For this dish, you need a special kind of fish: half dried pollack, which is called “CoDaRi” in Korean. Usually, you can find it in any Korean or Asian store. It has the right amount of salt already added. This dish is a little sweet with a slightly spicy taste. Since it is a half-dried fish, it has good texture for eating. Plus, it is a side dish that keeps longer in the refrigerator than other side dishes. We call this kind of delicious side dish as a “rice thief” (밥 도둑=Bap DoDuk) in Korea because it is easy to finish your bowl of rice quickly without other side dishes. haha … Without noticing much, your rice will be gone. Oops, it sounds dangerous for your diet. =P My husband tried it for the first time the other day, and he liked it. I just wish I could have gotten fresher fish, because then it would have been even more delicious. Anyway, I highly recommend that you try this for your meal someday. Thanks!

Addictive eggs are an egg side dish that has been a hot foodie item throughout SNS in Korea. It’s easy to make, but the taste is addictive. So, if you make it, you’ll love it.

Tofu is a good source of protein and also can be a great replacement for meat. However, sometimes the flavor is too bland to enjoy by itself. So today, I will introduce a delicious way to enjoy tofu by adding curry flavor to it. It is called ‘KaReDuBu BuChim’ in Korean. As usual, it is super simple yet delicious.

Fresh Spring vegetables are telling me that Spring is finally here. There are many Spring foods that I was missing this past winter, and you will see them one by one from my recent posts. So, today let’s cook something savory, healthy, and delicious using shishito peppers and potatoes. Shishito peppers called “GgwaRiGoChu” in Korean have a unique flavor and shape compared to other peppers. They are not spicy at all and are a little bitter. We enjoy their flavor in our Korean food. They usually go well with a sweet and salty sauce. Braised potatoes with these peppers makes for a quick and delicious side.
