Haemul Pajeon: Savory Seafood Korean-style pancakes

in Eating In, Eats & Drinks  •  April 12, 2015

We are not so much what we eat, but what we remember we have eaten.  When I was five years old, I walked in my grandmother’s front door one Saturday morning and smelled the most delicious smells coming from her kitchen. She called me to the room with those enticing aromas and placed a plate of ‘haemul pajeon’ in front of me. Then she told me to eat quickly or else it would get cold. The way the pancake disappeared in my mouth as...

His reply was, “Mina is the fat twin.” As soon as I heard those words, I started using food to...

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...
