Filmed in Korea in 2015 (and made from clips of my YouTube series I released late last year), it tells the stories of my friends and family, and the food we cook and eat. I hope you enjoy it!
Dakgangjeong, extra crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and coated in a sticky, sweet-savory sauce. Boneless chicken cooks faster and stays super crispy, making this dish perfect for parties or a special snack at home!
Warm, sizzling, comforting, usually spicy Korean stews are perfect for fall and winter. They are great for sharing with rice and banchan and are generous, nourishing, and healthy. See all my stew recipes
Easy to make and a favorite among family and friends. Korean style hot pot is usually restaurant food, but making it at home is just as cozy and satisfying, maybe even more! See the full recipe and video.
Salad-ppang are fluffy bread rolls filled with Korean potato salad. They are quick to make and totally satisfying – the perfect pick-me-up when you’re craving a tasty snack.
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
