Korean Grandma’s Soy Sauce Noodles

간장 비빔국수, GanJang BiBimGukSu

by 4 Comments

I’m excited to share this noodles recipe with you today. I got inspiration for it from a video by the Korean grandma Youtube channel. She introduced this tasty noodle dish to her fans (I’m one of them. lol), and it looked very good. I wanted to share it with my fans too. haha I didn’t follow the exact same recipe she shared, but my recipe is pretty good too. It is a common simple noodle dish Koreans enjoy daily, but Korean grandma revealed her secret ingredient to enhance the flavor of this dish: vinegar. Interestingly, I usually add a little bit of vinegar to my sauces too. I bet you will love it because I got big thumbs up from my 3 boys and myself. 😉👍🤣

Roasted Seasoned Dried Laver Side

Today, I want to share one of my favorite childhood sides called gimjaban bokkeum. Are you familiar with the Korean seasoned and roasted dried laver snack? It is very popular side for Korean kids. Instead of buying pre-made ones, you can cook it healthy and tasty at home in few minutes. Our boys love it when I mixed it with some rice and make rice balls for them. Try it someday for your children or yourself.

Korean Sweet Potato Cheese Sticks

Korean sweet potatoes are one of the Korean vegetables that I want you to try whether you like normal sweet potatoes or not. They are naturally very sweet, have a nice texture, and are healthy. Among Korean sweet potatoes, there are 2 main kinds. One is a water sweet potato called MulGoGuMa in Korean. It’s soft and mushy texture is pretty similar to the normal sweet potatoes that you find in America. It is just a lot sweeter and has good sweet potato flavor in it. The other type is chestnut sweet potato called BamGoGuMa in Korean. This one is also very sweet and has good sweet potato flavor. The only difference is that it’s texture is firm and not mushy like mulgoguma. It’s texture is a little similar to chestnuts, so it must have gotten the name because of that. Anyway, both kinds are good to try, but I especially love bamgoguma and that is the one we will use for today’s recipe. Instead of making the same old cheese sticks, make this upgraded version of it with tasty Korean sweet potato paste.

Simple SuJaeBi

수제비, SuJaeBi

by 37 Comments

SuJaeBi is a traditional Korean soup made with flour dough and vegetables. Since I posted many~~ spicy foods so far, I’ll show a non-spicy Korean dish. This dish shows that not all Korean foods are spicy. hehe… Today I will use kelp and anchovies for the broth, but you also use clams or kimchi (or other spicy seasonings.) I like SuJaeBi with clam the most, but I didn’t get the chance to make it this time. Maybe next time… 🙂 On a rainy day, cook SuJaeBi and eat it while watching the rain, it tastes better that way. 😉 (Sometimes Korean people want to eat certain Korean dishes on rainy days such as SuJaeBi or Jeon or BuChimGae
