Aeri,
I absolutely love your website and all of its recipes!
Could you make a recipe for a Korean Baked Egg? I have heard they are very delicous.
Thanks!
Hi Aeri, I love watching you website and your cooking – pleasant and easy to follow. I tried few of them and I will try to make meat ball this evening. Hopefully I would able to get your book. thanks again Anna.
Hi Aeri,
I just purchased your book and it is lovely! My partner and I will be moving to Korea soon so I wanted to familiarize myself with not only eating the cuisine but cooking it as well. Unfortunately, I am not sure where to start. Can you recommend 5 recipes that are good for beginners? Also, any advice for grocery shopping in Korea would be much appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you

Hi! Grocery shopping in Korea is fun, at least, it was fun for me at first. Be sure to take a lot of money because Korean food ingredients seems to average 2 to 3 times more in Korea at the moment (compared to the USA). Also, the produce section is much bigger. The produce section has many things that are difficult or impossible to find in many locations of the USA. The canned goods/dry goods section is much smaller. This means that, if you are cooking at home, you will be using more fresh ingredients. This is good for health, but could cause problems with space in your refrigerator and the need to plan your meals better (since fresh ingredients will expire faster than canned/dry goods).
Hi Aeri! You just posted a recipe for Sweet Potato TwiJim. I love this and it is one of my favorite Korean street foods! There is another kind of street food I always try with the sweet potato, but I don’t know the name of it. It is several mixed vegetables in batter and fried as well. Can you tell me the name and if possible, post a recipe someday?^^ Also, I would love to learn how to make 매실 syrup. Have you made it before? Thanks so much for all of your hard work and dedication! God bless you and your family!
Hey Aeri,
Thanks for the great Korean food ideas. We just got an international food market built near our house. Gunna put your ideas to good use!
Hi Aeri,
God bless you for sharing these wonderful recipes with us!
I have a question – please reply through my e-mail address. Is glutinous rice flour the same as sweet rice flour? If I use it in the sticky rice cakes recipe (I don’t have bread machine) what proportions should I use? I have regular rice flour too.
Hi Aeri, I just discovered your web site while searching for sundubu jjigae – my daugher is home from college and wants me to make some. I am not Korean, but have just started learning the language and since I enjoy eating Korean food I’m also learning how to cook it. I live in southern California so have access to many good restaurants and markets. I liked reading about you and your wish list, mine’s very similar! Thanks for putting this site together, I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes. 감사핲니다
Hi Aeri,
I just wanted to say how much I love your recipes! I visit your website on a weekly basis so I can plan meals for my family. I, especially love your galbi jjim recipe. It always turn out so good! I think you have the best korean recipes on the web. I’ve tried other sites and it never really turns out well.
I was wondering if you had any recipes for pork ribs. I’ve been wanting to make braised pork ribs but I can’t find any good recipes for it. Can you help me? Thank you for sharing your wonderful and delicious recipes with us!
Hi Aeri, love your web site. I’ve finally found my go to for Korean food recipe. I’ve followed your duk bo ki recipe and it came out as good as the one I had in a restaurant in Pyong Teak that is very popular with students. I added sesame leaves(ket nip) and ramen noodle to make lab bo ki. My plan is to try as many recipe as time allowed because I love to eat.
What doen jang paste do you use because nothing seems to taste as good as the one my mother in law brought from Korea. I’m sure every custom agent at the airport is familiar with Korean doen jang paste by now. Again thanks for those delicious recipe. Have a nice day!
