Kimchi (김치)
Sup, y’all! Sorry for neglecting you. School is taking over my life for real. Also work and Army and my routine laziness and not being sure what to make next. Anyway, this week is all about Kimchi! Kimchi is a traditional Korean staple and should probably just be named the national dish because I swear that it’s the only thing that people associate with Korea. Seriously, whenever I tell people I’m part Korean, the first thing they say to me is “Oh I love kimchi!” Like, cool story bro. But also I get offended if someone says they don’t like kimchi so there’s no pleasing me, I guess. So kimchi…

Pork Belly
Eyyyy! More Korean goodness is coming your way today in this two-in-one deal of a post! That’s right, two recipes because pork belly is my absolute most favorite thing ever. For real. If you ever need to bribe me, offer me samgyeopsal-gui (삼겹살구이) or kimchi jaeyook bokkeum (김치제육볶음) and I will do whatever you want. Also preparation for samgyeopsal-gui and kimchi jaeyook bokkeum are both really simple and easy so I couldn’t really justify doing two blog posts so you’re welcome.

The easiest way for me to describe gimbap is that it’s like Korean sushi but without the raw fish.

It’s really easy and convenient to carry around, but also it’s a…

Samgyetang (삼계탕) – Ginseng Chicken Soup
This is my first blog post ever. Ahhhh. Soup is my favorite type of food. It’s super easy, it’s warm, it’s comforting, and tasty AF. And now that fall is now in full swing here in glorious New England, I have an excuse to make and shovel spoonfuls of soup into my mouth until the warmth of spring rears it’s ugly head in April and I have to pretend that I like burgers and hot dogs way more than I actually do. So my first blog is about one of my favorite Korean soups, Samgyetang AKA Ginseng Chicken Soup. Sam is from ilsam, which is Korean for ginseng, gye is…
