Hi,
I found your website just today and really like it. Thanks a lot for sharing your recipes. Do you know how to cook KONG KUK SOO (somen with soybean milk)? What are very common dishes to eat for lunch and breakfast?

Hi, baobaighost

I haven’t tried making Kong Guk Su yet, but I am planning to cook all kinds of Korean meals as long as I can.
Also Kong guk su is a summer time meal, so I don’t really feel like eating it and cooking it for a while. (It is winter, you know? unless you are in a tropical area or the southern hemisphere)

But I found someone else’s kong guk su recipe on the internet.
http://www.desertmodernism.com/blog/2006/05/ It was posted on May 07, 2006, so you need to scroll down a bit.

Most Koreans eat rice for nearly every meal, along with 3-5 side dishes and soup or stew. So, compared to western people, Koreans have very big meals from breakfast to dinner.

Kimchi is one of the essential side dishes, Kimchijjigae and Doenjangjjigae are very common stews as well.

If you specify the purpose (for guests, party, celebration, etc) I can give more specific answers or suggestions too. (There are hundreds of different side dishes).

Bye

Hi again Sue!

I finally tried this last Saturday and came up with a very, very hot stew…..whew! It was great though and my father in law loved it. One hitch though, since we were having grilled pork wrapped in lettuce, I decided not to put any pork in my soup. Nonetheless, my soup tasted great and it just came out fantastic.

I told them that i got the recipe from your blog….big help indeed!

Thank you again Sue!

Hi Timmy,

That’s great that it still tasted good without the meat. It is not that spicy though. Well, I must have got used to it.

Hi! I just stumbled on your blog while trying to find korean recipes online. I am Korean who is married to a “white” guy and I LOVE LOVE my Korean food and want to try cooking more of it at home. But my mom lives pretty far from me so it’s hard to learn how to cook Korean food. I hve a question regarding your kimchee-jji-gae. I noticed that you use a little bit of soy sauce to it. Is that common?? I thought it was interesting. My mom never added it to hers.

I haven’t tried your recipes yet, but I am looking forward to it! It’s so hard to find authentic korean recipes written in English and I am very glad that you do it here on your blog! You will be helping many Korean-Americans (like me) and others to cook our cultural food, which is hard to do with limited English resources.

Thanks! I have bookmarked this site and will be visiting very often and trying out your recipes.

Hello there,
I am so glad that I just “bumped into” your website. It’s brilliant!! I have been dying for some Korean recipes but am not sure about buying books written in English coz I always they maybe some westernised dishes.

You explain everything really clearly and detail. I am going to try making this dish tonight as my homemade kimchi is finally ready! (I am not Korean tho but I wish I could read Korean then I would be able to read more recipes)

Hi! Thank you for the awesome website! I love it! So many great recipes to make. I’ll be making this pork stew on X-mas day so I hope it turn out well. I got a question for you though, I love seafood; I was wondering if seafood can be added to the recipe? If so, should it be marinated with the pork+ rice wine + ground pepper?

Thank you! You’re an AWESOME COOK! keep it up!
