    Aeri – You have no idea how happy I am to have found your recipe!! I just got back to America after teaching English in Korea for the past year and I have been missing Korean food sooooooooooo much. Especially chamchee jjigae, which I’m so happy you have the recipe for!! I was wondering, you do have a recipe for hobahk juk? (pumpkin porridge, i would write it in hangul but my keyboard doesn’t have korean) Thank you so much for sharing your great recipes!! ^^

    hello Aeri,
    i really love your recipes and enjoy making them, but there is this one particular recipe that i want to make is this korean grilled pork intestines. I went to a korean BBQ place and they had the intestines, but i just don’t know how they prepared it and what kind of seasoning do they do. Thank you so much for your time.

      hi Mai,
      Thanks for your comment.
      Sorry but to be honest, I’ve never tried that grilled pork intestines, I heard that they are delicious… just intestines are not the food I usually try.. so I don’t know how to make them. Please ask me other food that I can make for you. thanks

    Thank you for your recipes. I love Korean food (I’m not Korean) and love the culture (I watch Korean movies all the time hehe).
    Thank you again, the recipes look easy. I haven’t tried any of them yet but will soon after I move to my new house. I want to make the side dish and keep in the fridge. How many days can they keep? I know kimchi and keep for a while, but what about like spinach, or bean sprout, or potato, or fish cake, or pan cake, fried eggs… Can I keep for 5 days? Maybe I can cook alot of them on Sunday, then eat all week. We work and have a 2.5 year old kid, so we can’t cook every day. Please help. Thank you.

      hi Lily,
      Thanks for your comment. about your question..
      it’s all depends of side-dishes.. some you need to eat just that day.. some you can keep for a week.. some .. few days.. like this..
      so please check my picture index for side-dishes..
      most of time, I will mention.. how long you can keep the side-dish..
      if I didn’t mention..and you want that recipe to try.. please ask me again with the food name. ^^

    Hello,

    I came across your site when I was looking up korean recipes. Thank you for your site. My mother is korean and i miss her cooking.My two daughters Love korean food and I am trying to convince my picky son that it is good for you and he needs to try something new. I cant wait to cook. My oldest (she 14) is having a sleepover this weekend and she requested bulgogi and kimchi. I make bulgogi all the time but fail miserably making kimchi.LOL Would you happen to have a recipe for seaweed soup? To me that is comfort food :) Thank you soooo much!!

      hi Lee An,
      Sorry..but I wonder what you mean… I just got the feeling.. you use the word “mochi” for rice cakes ?? because mochi is just one type of sticky rice cakes that has red bean paste in it.. did you mean that ?? What is 3 color mochi cake ?? Please let me know. :)

      Hi layping,
      korean breakfast is not much different from normal korean meals.. hehe soup.. rice and different kinds of side-dishes.. just they will skip big main dishes like.. meat dishes..and prepare simple soup.. but that’s pretty much it.. if I have a chance, I will post a picture of video about it. thanks :)

    Hi Aeri! Your recipes are easy to follow and I love your Korean lessons as well. :grin: I gotta say this, your family and you are so cute! :mrgreen:
    There is one recipe that I wanted to make but have no luck in finding. It’s called eomukbar. Is there a way to make it at home or you can only get them at the stores in South Korea? Thanks in advance!
    Stay healthy and beautiful!

    Hi Aeri,

    I bumped into your youtube page while trying to find out how to make 김치볶음밥. I always wondered how to make all these korean foods all my life as my mom would never tell me how to make them when I asked her (maybe it’s because I was her son and not daughter lol). Unfortunately, as my mom is getting older, she is cooking less and less and I think now it’s time I cook for her haha. Thanks so much for all of these recipes! Oh and btw, is it possible in the future you can maybe let us know how to make 동치미국수? I can only taste this dish every time I go to Los Angeles, but would like to know how to make it someday as I miss eating this dish very much. Thank you!! And 화이팅입니다!!!

      hi David,
      You comment made me smile.. as a mom who also has a son, I just pictured that you cook some delicious Korean food for your mom and eat with your mom.. so sweet and happy moment.. hehe I’m sure that your mom will be very proud and happy when you cook something for her. I will add it (동치미 국수) to my list and post it someday.. thanks :)
      thanks

    Hi Aeri, I just find your blog recently. It was awesome. I love korean foods as much as I love the korean drama too…lucky me, I hv a Hmart near my town, so I can cook following ur recipes, instead of go korean cuisine. They taste great too, thanks a lot, Aeri..
