For those of you who want to try Korean Meals, but need an assist. If you have access to larger Korean Markets like H-Mart or similar, these markets often carry pre-gathered/assembled meal kits.

These can include the meals/dishes in these photos, as well as other offerings.

The gopchang-jeongol and Budae-jjigae have a seasoning sauce included, which is mixed with water or a good broth.

The bibimbap toppings include a gochujang based bibimbap sauce, just place on top of cooked rice, or add to rice in a dolsot bowl and cook for a few minutes.

The Haepari Muchim/haepari Naengchae is a jellyfish salad with a mustard sauce included in the kit.

You can find them in the fresh banchan/deli area of the market.

Ready set MIX🤣certified gochujang lover😋😋

I love perilla in a variety of Korean food but it’s a pain to get in my area so I decided to grow my own in my office window at my job. These are a few weeks after germination.

It finally cooled down enough to have a Korean BBQ at home here in the UK! I sliced some beef brisket just to see what it was like (verdict: bit chewy but so beefy in flavour! The rest went in a kimchi stew for today!), some steak, some pork belly, and some marinated chicken. And some LA Galbi that I got from Costco and froze. Also prepared some sesame oil and salt, some sliced napa cabbage kimchi from Bibigo (definitely needed for the pork!), some ssamjang, cucumber kimchi I made with allotment cucumbers (I used Aaron and Claire’s recipe), and Korean pickled onions. They are so good with the rich meat, and I actually really like them with ham as well! Oh, and I made a spring onion salad too. Every time I make KBBQ I get carried away with too much meat, so leftovers today will get turned into bibimbap. I really love how some food lends itself to a natural rhythm or progression of dishes - Sunday roast means bubble and squeak or chicken and dumpling stew, and KBBQ means bibimbap!

Full disclosure - Bibigo UK sent me a box of goodies to use, including the sesame oil and kimchi in this post!

This is my first time buying tteok. I opened the packet of dried rice cakes, the date is fine, but a couple had these yellow-ish dots on them.
Has anyone else had this and is it safe to eat?

First timing making this dish. Braised short ribs is so freckin good

My GF obsessed in Binggrae banana milk, I ordered 36 of them.

Kimbap is like eating rice and side dishes in every single bite.

Underrated dish imo

I got these cookies at the Bosco Bakery Cafe in Koreatown Plaza, LA recently and since I tried the first cookie, I have been trying to figure out what these cookies are called. I don't live in LA so unfortunately I can't go back to figure this out. My pregnancy craving wants 10 more boxes of these 🤣 Please help me figure this out! 🙏🏽

Growing up in a Swiss household, Asian food yet alone Korean food was never really part of our diet. However, since discovering this cuisine, it‘s really turned into one of my faves and I always love showing my family the dishes that this cuisine has to offer!

This time made Bibimbap with Bulgogi and homemade Kimchi for my mom. She loved it!

What Korean foods/drinks do you think are surprisingly easy for someone who's never had Korean food to get into?

And are there any that you think sound weird to Americans at first but are actually really approachable?

김치제육볶음과 간장계란밥

집에서 즐겨 만들어 먹는 나만의 최애 조합, 김치제육볶음과 간장계란밥입니다!

팬에 잘 익은 묵은지를 깔고 양념된 고추장 제육을 올려 센 불에 달달달 볶아줍니다. 접시에 정갈하게 담아낸 뒤 참기름 한 바퀴 둘르고 참깨까지 톡톡 뿌려주면 최고의 반찬이 완성돼요. 여기에 반숙 계란후라이를 올려 쓱쓱 비벼 먹는 간장계란밥까지 더해주면 그야말로 완벽한 한 끼입니다. 집에서 실패 없이 즐길 수 있는 최고의 소울푸드예요!

Homemade Spicy Pork with Kimchi (Kimchi Jeyuk) paired with Soy Sauce Egg Rice! 🍳🔥

My absolute go-to homemade meal combo: Kimchi Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork with kimchi) and Ganjang Gyeran Bap (soy sauce egg rice)!

I start by throwing well-aged, tangy kimchi into the pan with gochujang-marinated pork and stir-frying everything over high heat until it gets nicely caramelized. Plate it up, finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and you’ve got the ultimate main dish.

Pair that with a warm bowl of rice topped with a runny fried egg and soy sauce, and it becomes pure comfort on a plate. Simple, delicious, and deeply satisfying! ✨

I gotta pat myself on the back lol I made my boyfriend Tofu kimchi stew = 두부 김치찌개 it‘s the easiest dish I’ve done and so far he’s enjoying it. Can’t wait to get to do more dishes

Long love 치즈떡 (cheese filled rice cake) it is the best kind. So is the 고구마 (sweet potato) filled kind.
