I was very happy to see all the korean food recipes that you published in this website. i’m a big fan of korean food.. i;m sure i will try making them at hm from nw on.. thanks for sharing..
When my boyfriend cooked the kimchi jjigae it is good so masita.and I found my boyfriend is a good cooker than me.heheh…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Korean food I had a Korean nanny growing up and I am now a wife and mother that works from home. I have become quite adept at cooking and introduced my Cajun hubby to foreign food O also grew up in Germany so I am pretty experienced at “foreign” foods. I am going to make this for him tonight since he is returning from a trip (he is Active Duty Military) I’ll have to respond and let you know how it goes. I usually make it a few times and put my own spin on it each time and then I write down the one that was the biggest hit. I had NO idea this was SO easy. I love Kimchi and eat it often. Believe it or not when I had gastric cancer kimchi HELPED my stomach feel better. The idea came from my military surgeon who had been stationed in Korea when he discovered thee good cultures in it. I like it better than yogurt.
Can’t wait to hear how he liked it. I also like to hear about your spin. I get questions about substitute ingredients from people living where not many Korean groceries are around. It will be a good tip for them! Thanks for leaving me a comment 🙂
