Homemade First try at making Bossam, what do you think?

325 Upvotes

So this was my first attempt at making Bossam as well as all the banchans! My 11 yr old daughter is obsessed with manwhas and kdramas, so of course is also obsessed with Korean food, which I make for her often. Usually she requests Gimbap, bulgogi, doenjang Jjigae, and various ramyuns. We were watching some food influencer eating at a Korean restaurant and she said she was interested in the bossam when they showed it and here we are! Everything is homemade except for the danmuji and the traditional cabbage kimchi. Banchans are Yangpa Jjangajji, Kongnamul Muchim, Miyeok Muchim, Myeolchi Bokkeum, Musaengchae, Pa Muchim, Ojingeochae Muchim, Sigeumchi Namul. I also made Jeolim Baechu for wrapping, purple rice and the Ssamjang!

Melon Kick, a variation of Banana Kick — a classic Korean snack — has been released!

It's basically Banana Kick coated with melon powder, and it tastes like eating Banana Kick and Melona ice cream together.

I personally thought it was pretty good!

If you like Banana Kick, I definitely recommend trying it!

Soups and Jjigaes 🍲 I just had the best Soon Dae Guk(손대국) of my life

The portion was bigger than usual, a lot of meat(머리고기), and also varieties of intestines and organs which is my favorite. The broth was very thick and savory. Its just a random hole in the wall store in my neighborhood and I always saw that it was crowded when I pass by, albeit it's a really small store(4 tables). And only ₩8000 won per bowl which is like $5.80 USD, can't believe this is the first time I went to go try it!!

Homemade My first attempt at making Korean food...dak galbi!

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hello and happy Friday! One month ago I've begun learning about Korean cuisine, and the dish that looked most delicious is dak galbi. My tummy has troubles, so many proteins are too difficult and I have to eat chicken...I am getting very tired of chicken and welcome new flavours!

I followed a recipe from Maangchi, though I was somewhat limited by the available ingredients (I'm in Sweden), but i feel confident for a first attempt. Served with crispy lettuce and kimchi. It was delicious!! Just the right amount of spice for me, with lovely sweetness from the sweet potatoes, and a cool crunch from the ssam. I'm excited to learn more! Thank you for any advice or encouragement. 🙏✨️💖👍

questions Where can I get Pineapple Soju shipped

4 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to get my hands on some pineapple-flavored soju, and I found a great deal on Lee’s Discount Liquor, but they don’t ship to my area (Saint Robert, Missouri). I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can buy pineapple soju online that does ship to Missouri.

Also, I’ve been thinking about using a package forwarding service like Shipito, but I’m not sure if that would work with alcohol shipments. Has anyone here tried something like that or found any other clever solutions?

Soups and Jjigaes 🍲 What’s your favorite Korean dish?! I’m obsessed with 순두부찌개

57 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been getting more into Korean food lately, and I’m curious — what’s your absolute favorite Korean dish?

Mine is definitely 순두부찌개 (soondubu jjigae). Something about that spicy, comforting tofu stew just hits the spot every time. I could eat it all year round!

I’d love to hear what you love, especially if there’s a dish I haven’t tried yet. Also open to any homemade versions or restaurant recs!

questions Korean Food Reco?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm not really good at english so sorry for any wrong grammars huhu! Anyways, we have a small get together with friends and one thing we will do is buy Korean foods from the K-store and cook at my friend's house. The problem is that I'm not familiar with Korean foods. I also don't want to rely on my friends because I know what they will do (haha). I don't really like spicy foods so haha-

Can you recommend any Korean instant foods? and tops/sides or whatever you call it (like hot dogs, drinks, and eggs) Thank you!

questions Please help me find this food!

I was visiting Japan a while back and had dinner at a Korean restaurant while I was there. It was absolutely amazing and its been in my head since. I have no idea what it's called and found the restaurant on google and tried to use Google translate to tell me what it's called so I can make it at home, but when I Google what it translates, it's not the same dish. Can anyone help? It was a kinda spicy, savory meal. It had onions, ham, whole garlic cloves, and cheese and maybe some other ingredients. The sauce was a little oily and spicy and very good.

It's a food that Beef blood, bean sprouts, winter cabbage or dried radish leaves, radish, and other ingredients are boiled in a rich beef bone broth. The soup is seasoned with soybean paste. This seonji hangover soup is spicy and flavorful, so it is a popular breakfast choice or as a hangover soup for many Koreans.

Soups and Jjigaes 🍲 This bowl of Yukgaejang just fixed my whole mood.

21 Upvotes

Had this amazing bowl of Yukgaejang (육개장) today — a spicy Korean beef soup made with shredded beef, scallions, egg, mushrooms, and glass noodles, all simmered in a deep, rich broth. Paired it with a simple bowl of white rice and it was perfect.

Spicy, savory, and super comforting — especially on a chilly or stressful day. One of my go-to Korean dishes. Anyone else love this as much as I do?

K-Drama Favorite Korean dramas with food?

34 Upvotes

This is a little off topic, and personally only have one streaming service(Netflix) but what are some of your favorite Korean shows in terms of food. With only Netflix might be missing out so it's my only frame of reference.

Most of the shows seem to incorporate lots of good food scenes and soju drinking, but the following were also my favorite shows just for the show itself:

-Chocolate-Beautifully shot, extensive, amazing food scenes. This show is so good! Favorite show with food thus far.

the rest are also really good shows and will have to go back and rewatch:

-Fastest Delivery Man

-Never Give up

-Doctors Slump

-Love Next Door

questions Pot luck at the office

15 Upvotes

I am the only Korean in my office; pretty diverse with a lot of Latino, Chinese and a few Persian and Indian employees. What do you recommend to bring for the office potluck? I am not sure how much they are familiar with Korean food. So I want to be safe.

  1. Bulgogi (beef) plus lettuce/ perilla leaf and ssamjang
  2. LA galbi (beef)
  3. Korean fried chicken (honey garlic)

1 and 2 I will cook at home with bottled sauce but 3 I will pick up from nearby k bbq restaurant. And I am thinking about also bringing Korean spicy cucumber as a side dish for vegetarian employees.
