Bibim mandu is a very popular snack food in Korea. Many Koreans like to eat fried or steamed dumplings with soy dipping sauce. However, every now and then, you might want to try something different with foods you like. Therefore, this bibim mandu is great for that. Fried dumpings, noodles, various vegetables, along with a special spicy sweet and sour sauce tastes great together. Try it someday.

Red bean porridge is commonly eaten on the shortest day of the year in Korea. This warm and sweet porridge is a great meal for any winter day too. If you make your own red bean paste at home, or have canned red bean paste, it is a pretty easy recipe to make. The sweet and nutty flavors from the red bean paste, along with the chewy rice balls, taste great together.

굴 죽, Gul Juk

Oyster juk is very popular in the winter because winter is the best season for good oysters. This is one of the many different kinds of porridge in Korean cuisine. For some good variations to this recipe, simply replace the oysters with some other seafood such as: clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, etc. This tastes great with the mild flavor of white rice.

콩나물 밥, KongNaMul Bap
Posted by Aeri Lee on November 23, 2011
Soybean sprout rice, called kongnamul bap (콩나물밥) in Korean, is a delicious and unique one dish meal. When you make the rice, you cook some marinated meat and bean sprouts together, and then eat it with a special sauce. For this recipe, I used my rice cooker; however, you can also cook the rice on the stove. My husband tried this Korean dish for the first time today and gave an A rating. I hope that you try this easy and tasty meal someday for your family.
Yield: 6 Servings
