Chicken GgoChi _

간장 닭 꼬치, GanJang Dak GgoChi


There are several kinds of skewered chicken preparations in Korea. Among them, I will show you how to make one today. This one is made with chicken, garlic, peppers, and green onions, all marinated in a special sauce. It all tastes really good together. Depending on your tastes, you can use more garlic or pepper for each skewer. Sometime ago, I posted a recipe using some korean peppers that a friend gave us. This is another recipe using those peppers. My husband loved the flavor of the cooked peppers with the sauce; he thinks I could have added more pepper pieces on each skewer. It is up to you. :)

Yield: 8 Skewers

Short Korean Lesson: *^^*

  • GoMo (고모) = Aunt (Dad’s sister)
  • IMo (이모) = Aunt (Mom’s sister)

Red Bean Ice Cream _

팥 아이스크림, Pat AISeuKeuRim


Red bean ice cream is one of the things you can make with homemade red bean paste. So if you decided to try my recipe for that, this ice cream recipe will be a good use for it. We have a very popular red bean ice cream bar called “bibibig” in Korea. It has a good red bean flavor along with a sweet milky flavor. It is harder than normal ice cream. My recipe tastes very similar to bibibig. Yummy~~~ :) I made this recipe a while ago, but because of our summer vacation, I am posting it almost too late, since it is almost fall now. However, I hope you can still enjoy my recipe this year.

Yield: 7 Red Bean Ice-cream Bars

Short Korean Lesson: *^^*

  • BanJi (반지) = Ring
  • PalJji (팔찌) = Bracelet

Homemade Red Bean AngGeum _

적앙금, JeokAngGeum


Red bean paste is called “PatAngGeum (팥앙금)” or “JeokAngGeum (적앙금)” in Korean. It is used for different kinds of sweet Korean dishes and desserts such as red bean porridge, red bean rice cakes, red bean ice cream, red bean paste bread, and so on. “Pat” means red bean, “Jeok” means red, and “AngGeum” means a paste. You can easily buy pre-made red bean paste in a can from a Korean or Asian grocery store; however, it is good to make your own at home, since it is healthier and tastier. I have been asked to make this recipe from many people who cannot buy it. So today, I very happy to share my recipe for red bean paste. Once you taste the delicious homemade red bean paste, you will not want to buy the one in the can anymore. ;) Try it someday.

Yield: 2 Quarts

Short Korean Lesson: *^^*

  • Pat (팥) = Red Bean
  • Dal (달) = Moon

Green Pepper MuChim _

풋고추 무침, PutGoChu MuChim


One of my Korean friends gave me some very fresh Korean green sweet peppers from her garden. Wow! They were so fresh and delicious! We call this pepper “putgochu” (풋고추) in Korean. We could not find an English name for this pepper. The skin is a little thick and the texture is crunchy. It is not very spicy compared to other hot peppers. It even has a little sweet flavor to it. It is good eaten raw, dipped in soybean paste, or used in meat wrapping. Today, I will show you how to make a simple side dish using it. I still have more peppers left, so I will post another recipe using them later. Expect it. ;)

Yield: 1 Cup

Short Korean Lesson: *^^*

  • Gan (간) = Liver
  • SimJang (심장) = Heart
