만두피 호떡, ManDuPi HoTteok
Posted by Aeri Lee on March 7, 2011
Hi Everyone! Today, I will make a very quick and delicious crispy hottoek using left over dumpling wrappers. Sometime ago, I posted a garlic chive dumpling video and I saved some leftover dumpling wrappers for later. This dumpling wrapper hottoek is one way to use those leftover dumpling wrappers. It takes time to make the dough for traditional hottoek, and it is a little difficult to handle that sticky dough. So, this dumpling wrapper hottek is an easy and fast way to make hottoek. Of course, the texture will be very different, but the flavor is good enough to satisfy your mouth if you like hottoek. Try it someday.
Yield: 8 Servings

In the last lesson, we talked about the basics of Hangul. Hangul was created to help literate Korean people by moving away from a logographic system. It is an alphabet that has ten basic vowels and fourteen basic consonants. Today, we will learn the ten basic Korean vowels. First, we will learn three types of vowel construction, and then, we will learn how to read and write those basic vowels. I will start by speaking the ten vowels, “ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗㅛㅜㅠㅡㅣ.”

소고기 주먹밥, SoGoGi JuMeokBap
Posted by Aeri Lee on February 28, 2011
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!
Yield: 45 Rice Balls

안동 찜닭, AnDong JjimDak
Posted by Aeri Lee on February 23, 2011
Andong is the name of a Korean city, and this special dish is a very famous food from that area. It is also popular with many people that visit Korea. The braised chicken and vegetables with the sauce will make you fall in love with the flavor. I love, love, love this food. It is not too difficult to make from scratch, but if you have access to Sempio’s Braised Chicken Sauce, you can take a shortcut and follow my recipe using Sempio’s sauce instead. Both are delicious. Many people wanted me to make this dish from scratch, so here it is.
Yield: 2-3 Servings

- Jjim (찜) = Braised
