in Eating In, Eats & Drinks, Recipe • November 30, 2016

There seems to be a notion that food bloggers enjoy extravagant home cooked meals 7 days a week. But in reality, at least for me, I’m constantly eating out during the week. Because at the end of a full work day at the office, I’m exhausted to be in the kitchen. As of late, to cut down on eating out during the week, this Soon Du Bu Kimchi Jigae aka Korean Soft Tofu with Kimchi Stew have been in constant rotation at our house. I grew up eating this soup and it’s a staple in any Korean kitchen. It’s an all-in-one meal with a...

My Grandmother’s Korean Bulgogi Recipe aka Korean BBQ

in Eating In, Eats & Drinks • February 2, 2015

I have been hesitant to share my Grandmother’s Korean Bulgogi recipe because it has been passed down from generation to generation, with each person perfecting it along the way. This dish was a staple growing up in our house and I’ve been eating it all my life. She taught me how to make it, along with her famous rice cakes, when I was in middle school. Whenever I make this, I feel like I’m back in her kitchen in South Korea cooking with her. Here’s my Grandma and I in...
