This spicy chicken noodle soup is a different version of jjambbong. Since my husband doesn’t eat much seafood, I made a similar noodle dish using chicken instead of seafood like jjambbong. Fortunately, my husband liked it and I wanted to share this recipe with you. Like my other recipes, the homemade broth gives the soup great flavor – artificial seasonings cannot beat it.
It has a good combination ingredients and nutrients.
Yield: 2 Servings

Egg fried rice is a Korean style fried rice dish. It is a very good recipe to try when you do not have enough time, or if you do not feel like cooking much. With only few ingredients such as rice, eggs, and green onions, you can make very tasty meal quickly. This can be used as a main dish with kimchi and other side dishes, or it can be used as a side dish even though it is not an authentic Korean style meal. If you reduce the amount of salt or oil, this can be good for a kid’s meal too. If you do not know what to cook tonight, then maybe you can try this recipe – if you have eggs, rice, and green onions on hand.

This is a simple version of Korean zucchini fritters. Typically, we cover sliced zucchini pieces with flour, and then dip them into an egg mixture before frying them. However, today I will just dip the zucchini into a flour batter. You can eat these delicious zucchini fritters plain, but slightly dipping them into a soy sauce mixture makes them tasty even better. It is good for a lunch box, party appetizer, or as a side dish for normal meals. If you are a vegan, you can skip the egg and add a little bit more water to the batter.
Yield: 3 Dozen Fritters
