Maangchi recipes

Japchae, sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables and meat, is one of Korea's best-loved dishes, and one of the most popular on my website as well. If anyone asks me to recommend a good potluck dish, I don’t hesitate to recommend japchae because everyone loves it!

Today's recipe is for quick, fresh, small-batch kimchi made with napa cabbage, called baeuchu-geotjeori. I make it Jeolla province style, with a thick paste made from fermented anchovies. I filmed this video in Yeongyang, where the best red peppers in Korea are grown, and is well known for hot...

My classic, spicy, traditional whole leaf napa cabbage kimchi recipe that I've been using for years and years. Spicy, fermented, and delicious.

Mandu Soup I have yet to meet a foodie - that would say no to a dumpling. I’m a big fan of dumplings and have been making won tons for most of my life. Truth be told, I think I learned how to fold wontons before I could read or write. However, I find myself at a turning point in my life and am in search of my inner Korean. I know my ancestors are shaking their heads at me. My love for Korean food has grown tremendously and as I learn more and more. I have a greater appreciation for what it…

I'd like to introduce you to my family's special kimchi soup recipe today. It's called kimchiguk in Korean, is very easy to make and it's a well-balanced "one pot meal" when served with rice.

Hello everybody! I am so excited to show you how to make vegetarian or vegan kimchi today. It's from my new cookbook! How long have you been waiting for this recipe? Or maybe you made your own adaptation of my traditional kimchi recipe or my easy kimchi recipe? When people asked me how to make...

Today I have a new kimchi for you, made with green onions! It's called Pa-kimchi (파김치) in Korean or you can call it green onion kimchi! Pa-kimchi is very aromatic, strong, spicy, crispy and much easier to make than traditional Korean baechu kimchi (napa cabbage kimchi). You make it with the...

Braised black beans (geomeun-kongjorim) is a popular and easy side dish. Sweet and a little nutty, it goes well with beer, but usually we serve it with rice. Korean housewives make it on a regular basis and keep it in the fridge so it's available any time, because children love it. There's...

Today I'm going to show my my all-time favorite fast and easy recipe for a quick, spicy salad that can be made from a head of lettuce. When my napa cabbage kimchi gets old and sour, I sometimes crave a fresher kimchi that's not so aged. Sangchu-geotjeori is a bright, spicy, lightly seasoned...
