Goonjung Ddeokbokki

This dish is an alternative to rice cakes in spicy-sweet sauce. It was an interesting dish but I prefer the classic chilli sauce.

Oi Moochim

In this dish, cucumbers are tossed in a spicy sauce.

Japchae

In this recipe, sweet potato noodles are served with spinach, mushroom, carrot and onion. I thought it was quite tasty.

Sigumchi-namul

I bought more spinach for my salad than I needed, so I transformed the remainder into spinach namul.

Baesuk

In the recipe I used, an Asian pear with peppercorns is simmered in a ginger syrup before being topped with pinenuts.

Musaengchae

Normally this would be made with a daikon radish, but the only ones I could find were absolutely huge, so I used pink radish instead. Unfortunately I still don’t enjoy radish.

Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi fried rice is simple but tasty. If you make your own kimchi, or are able to find a vegetarian version without fish sauce, the recipe can easily be made vegan. I used this recipe.

If you have tried kimchi in the past and didn’t like it, I’d suggest trying it this way or in dumplings. I don’t care for kimchi plain as a side dish, but once it is cooked further I find it delicious.
