굴 떡국, Gul TteokGuk
Posted by Aeri Lee on May 11, 2011
The rice cake soup called “tteokguk” in Korean is one of my favorite Korean meals. We usually eat this soup on New Year’s day, but you can eat it anytime you want. You can make the soup with different kinds of meat such as beef or oysters. Today, I will make oyster rice cake soup the way my mom usually made it for us.
Yield: 2-3 Servings
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- Gul (굴) = Oyster

Endive dressing is a sweet and sour salad dressing that goes well with endive. I love bacon, but if you do not eat bacon you can leave it out. When we eat this, we also like fried potatoes as a side dish.

만두속 김치 전, ManDuSok GimChi Jeon
Posted by Aeri Lee on May 3, 2011
Have you ever had leftover dumpling filling? Recently, I made a large batch of garlic chive dumplings. Those delicious dumplings are now steamed and waiting in the freezer to be eaten later. I feel very satisfied having frozen dumplings on hand, since they are convenient for quick meals later. Anyway, for that batch, I had some leftover filling, and with it, I made this recipe. Maybe you had the same experience before and did not know what to do with it; this is a good solution for that problem. 
Simply mixing the dumpling filling with a few other ingredients turns into a very tasty snack or appetizer. 
Yield: 15 Patties
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- Sok (속) = Inside
- Bak (밖) = Outside

참치 마요 & 참치 김치 삼각 김밥, ChamChi MaYo & ChamChi KimChi SamGak GimBap
Posted by Aeri Lee on April 27, 2011
Triangle kimbap is a very popular food sold in convenience stores in Korea. For people who are too busy to prepare breakfast or lunch, this is a good option. Since the kimbap is wrapped in a disposable plastic package, it is easy to carry and eat wherever or whenever you want. There are many different types available; however, today I will only show you how to make two different types using tuna and kimchi. In a Korean grocery store, you can find the kit for making this triangle kimbap. Why not try making this simple and amazingly delicious kimbap at home? If you have kids, it will be fun to make this together with your children. I cannot wait to make these with my son, Bryson, someday. hehe
Yield: 10 Servings
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- ChamChi (참치) = Tuna
