Korean

My life partner is Korean and it’s absolutely one of my favorite cuisines. The food is bold, comforting and made for sharing, and these are some of my favorite dishes to make at home. Think steaming bowls of dwaeji gukbap, sweet and savory Korean street toast, and the kind of cozy, deeply flavorful meals that warm you from the inside out.

This collection covers hearty soups and stews, street food favorites, rice dishes and easy weeknight meals inspired by Korean home cooking. I’ll show you how to build big flavor with pantry staples like gochujang, doenjang and sesame oil, and how to make dishes that taste like they came from your favorite Korean spot.
