Beef and radish guk is a Korean soup that is eaten daily. This can be good for people who like Korean food, but cannot eat spicy food. The marinated beef and radish gives great flavor to the broth, and the texture of cooked radish with tender beef is good together. Try it someday.

Have you ever had leftover dumpling filling? Recently, I made a large batch of garlic chive dumplings. Those delicious dumplings are now steamed and waiting in the freezer to be eaten later. I feel very satisfied having frozen dumplings on hand, since they are convenient for quick meals later. Anyway, for that batch, I had some leftover filling, and with it, I made this recipe. Maybe you had the same experience before and did not know what to do with it; this is a good solution for that problem. 
Simply mixing the dumpling filling with a few other ingredients turns into a very tasty snack or appetizer.

JuMeokBap (주먹밥) can be translated as “fist bap,” or “fist rice.” The reason why it has that funny name is that this ball shaped rice looks like the shape of a fist. In the old days, when Korean people had to prepare simple and easy meals for the soldiers in the Korean war, this food was a great idea because it is easy to make and easy to take anywhere to eat. Later, it was also popular for people to take to their work place or school. Nowadays, there is a variety of “fist rice” dishes with differences in the ingredients such as beef, kimchi, seafood, tuna, dried anchovies, etc. Also, the size has became smaller and it has become more colorful, pretty, and flavorful. When you do not have much to eat, just mix some rice with a few other ingredients to make “fist rice,” and eat it as a meal. It would be very good in your lunch box with a few other side dishes and fruits. Enjoy!

This fried spicy garlic and beef side dish is a unique way to eat garlic and meat together. The combination together is great. My husband tried it for the first time and he loved it. You can eat this as a side dish but you can also use it for lettuce wrapping with rice. To do that, simply top a leaf of lettuce with some rice and a little meat. Then wrap and eat it. Delicious~~~ Try this simple but very tasty food someday.
