When I made this food in America for my in laws the first time, they called the name “stuffed peppers,” and I found there are different kinds of “stuffed peppers” in America. As you know, you use sweet peppers instead of hot peppers and you bake it in the oven, not fry in a pan. Of course, the taste is also different, but the idea of filling peppers with some ingredients and cook it is the same. I thought it’s very interesting. Anyway, I wanted to share Korean style stuffed peppers with you.

This is a Korean holiday food, and it is one of my favorite foods. I learned how to make this from my mom, and my mom used to make this for holidays or special days. The marinated beef, hot pepper, and egg combination gives you a very tasty and happy flavor. We usually use less spicy peppers for this recipe because you don’t want peppers that are so hot that they cover the flavors in the other ingredients. If you can’t eat spicy food then I recommend that you to use sweet peppers instead. So I used both peppers in this recipe. You can eat this dish just plain or as a side-dish.

JaJangMyun (자장면) is the most popular Korean style chinese food in Korea. This is made of mainly black bean paste, meat, and different kinds of vegetables. In Korea, you can easily order JaJangMyun (Black bean paste noodles) from the Chinese restaurants. Then they will deliver the food to your house only for 3 or 4 dollars without any tipping. Typically, Korean style chinese restaurants serve JaJangMyun with Yellow Pickled Radish (DanMuJi), radish kimchi (KkakDooGi), and raw onion with black bean paste which you will use to make this recipe. Dip the onion into the black bean paste when you eat JaJangMyun. Garnish with cucumber or peas. Cucumber tastes especially good with this JaJangMyun.

JaJangBap = Black bean paste with rice

San Jeok is a Korean holiday food. We usually make this food with family and relatives one day before the holiday, and serve it during the holiday. The color and taste combination of this food is very good. Depending on your taste, you can skip the crab or add different kinds of vegetables, such as mushroom, carrot, and zucchini. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend that you use mushrooms instead of the beef. Just use the same sauce to marinate mushroom (oyster mushroom will be the best), and cook until the mushrooms get enough bulgogi sauce flavor, and then skewer them instead of the beef.
