Ooh, did you make this yourself, chingu? Looks delicious. Yum!

Chingu I bought the side dishes and made the rice. It was so delicious.

 

@Lmangla I love tonkatsu too chingu

[rocat]

no one mentioned samgyetang aka ginseng chicken soup?

 

it’s a dish I want to have daily if I could….so gooodddd. Just looking at it makes me happy - just like all the mouthwatering food pics I ve scrolled past in the last few minutes, including the pic of JCW and his *pec* of beer cans. 

I want to ask a similar question- are those for real? I lost count after like 6 or 8….

not a muscle suit? Keke…

 

I also enjoy kongnamul gukbap aka bean sprout soup with rice inside it on cold, rainy days - the ultimate comfort food that is healthy and low fat. Heh.

 

I use this recipe…

Thighs…nope…my eyes don’t venture that low. 
 

*looks at @partyon*


His whole Healer/K2 image crashed in Youth MT for me though he looks good in just about anything he does/wears. 
 

is that tattoo of his real? What huge hands. 
 

 

Spicy cold buckwheat noodles (naengmyeon) are a North Korean specialty and are found everywhere in the South. Busan seems to have the best ones - awesome to have in the summer! 

hotteoks are my favourite fried snacks. The glorious oil that they insidiously come with…gahhhh….

This drama is so under-rated. This drama was hilarious. Loved these guys and their antics.  

[Guest]

I have a love for Korean radish, so I'm happy it's used in a lot of food here. 

 

The two larger pictures (curry and pork cutlet) and the cold noodles (mul naengmyeon) I did not cook. I bought them in a restaurant. The kimchi (water/radish/cabbage), clam soup, and seaweed soup were all made by me. 

 

I probably eat Naengmyeon at least once a week during the summer. The liquid from water kimchi makes the perfect broth for it, so when I have time, I just make it at home. It's got a nice sour taste from fermentation, but I always add gyeoja (mustard paste) to give it a spicy kick.

 

I didn't cook the curry from the picture, but I cooked curry yesterday  I'm kind of sad I didn't take a picture of it, though the plating from the restaurant is definitely better than anything I could make. 

 

 

[sweetroad]

All the food looks delicious, chingus.

 

Question for those who cook Korean food - do you have favorite food blogs/ websites that are authentic yet accessible?

 

For example, I love The Woks of Life for Chinese and Taiwanese food. They know what they're talking about! And their recipes are straightforward and pretty user-friendly, though I can't always find all the ingredients where I am.

 

Curious what some good go-to Korean recipe sites would be.

Chingu, the way you describe your cooking, you definitely sound like a pro!

 

I'm on this thread here trying to pretend I love food.

@sadthe1st @MayanEcho @Thong Thin and @LeftCoastOppa have done their best to make me excited about food (bless their hearts), but I still prefer pics of abs. 

 

[rocher22]

I would love to try bibimbap, kimbap and dumplings.  

I have tasted ramyun and kimchi.  It was too spicy for me.

@agenth How did this thread turn into a Ji Chang Wook oppa thread, instead of a food thread?

It's not a drama, but when Taecyeon was more active on social media, I loved his late night cooking shows.

 

 

Recipes were pretty easy and most of the time one-pot dishes.

*** Food plays a major role in Korean culture and is strongly present in Korean television like these K-dramas I’ve watched. Food is love, and so are the Food Korean drama series. Who doesn’t like exploring every corridor of food cuisine? Food is your permanent partner through everything. Happy? Celebrate with food. Stressed? Do stress eating. Sad? Cheer up with your favorite food. Angry? Let the food do its magic. It is simply like a hundred problems one solution. Food in South Korean dramas is one of the most alluring sights.   

 

“Sweet Munchies” - Watching the delectable dishes Jung Il Woo prepares and serves at his restaurant is sure to have your stomach growling! 

 

 

 

“Eccentric Chef Moon” - Get ready to drool as you watch Chef Moon (Eric) whip up incredible dishes and show off his impressive knife skills. 

 

 

"Itaewon Class" - In the drama, this Sundubu Jjigae makes its appearance time and time again. This deliciously soft tofu stew and rich pork belly bathed in a spicy savory soup is Korean dish comfort food at its best. 

 

 

"It's OK To Not Be OKay" - this Jjangppong is seen in this drama. 

 

 

"Legend of the Blue Sea" - Bungeoppang: Remember the cute, deep fried fish-shaped snack in the drama? This is a sweet, satisfying red bean filled pastry that you just have to try. Not just because it's reminiscent to the drama, but also because it's delicious, and oh so satisfying. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

I've tasted these food - but, I can say that my favorite food is always Bibimbap. I always try this every visit to Seoul. This is widely available in restaurants, food courts, and street markets. Depending on region and ingredients used, bibimbap can be served as a meat-based or vegetarian dish. The most common bibimbap consists of warm rice topped with mixed vegetables, beef or chicken, and raw egg, as well as soy sauce and a dollop of chilli pepper paste for seasoning.   

 

Jajangmyeon: this is a popular Korean-Chinese dish often featured in K-dramas. Noodles dipped in black bean sauce. Jajangmyeon is popular in Korean households and are usually prepared during a celebration. 

Tteokbokki: this is a Korean snack popular with the street food crowd, and the traditional recipe features stir-fried rice cakes with chilli paste. Other flavors found in Tteokbokki include egg and fish cakes.

 

Honey Butter Chips: These chips are sweet from the honey and savory from the butter (featured in tons of K-Dramas)

Bulgogi: this is a marinated beef barbecue, a sweet soy sauce beef dish.  Most foreigners voted for this food as their favorite. 

Samgyetang: this is a Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup. The chicken is stuffed with soaked glutinous rice and simmered with garlic, ginger, and the super-herb of Asian cuisine, ginseng, said to aid in boosting energy and the immune system. Serve piping hot with rice, chopped scallions, salt and pepper on the side! 

Bibimbap: have some leftover vegetables in your fridge? Thinking of making something healthy? Try Korean Bibimbap recipe! Not only is it the most well-known and popular Korean dish in Korea, but it is also simple and easy to make. Switch it up according to your preferences, you can always replace the beef with chicken and pork. 

Beef Bulgogi: without a doubt, this is one of the most popular and oldest Korean traditional foods. The secret to this dish lies in the cut of the beef - sliced thinly, and you’re almost guaranteed a dish that melts in your mouth. Best served wrapped in a cold crispy piece of lettuce or a bowl of steamed rice. 

Korean Fried Chicken: you can now recreate the most juicest sweet and spicy Korean Fried Chicken recipe that will make your friends and family ask for more. The key to the crunch lies in adding a wee bit of baking powder in the corn starch. 

Japchae: this dish is a must-have for the Korean festive holidays (like New Year’s Day or the Harvest festival), probably because of its celebratory colours derived from the strips of carrots, bell peppers, spinach, cucumbers and mushrooms. The secret to success? Finding the right balance between soy sauce and sugar!
