Homemade Stir-fried Springy Rice Cake

Rice cakes are a versatile culinary delight. In Sichuan and Chongqing, they're used in hot pot and can be added to rice wine-fried eggs for a unique flavor. Compared to Korean rice cakes, this Chinese version is my favorite; it's more to my taste. If Sichuan and Chongqing bacon aren't available, don't worry! Substituting fried eggs and ham (which works perfectly) creates a unique and delicious experience. The golden fried eggs, with their charred aroma and the salty, chewy ham, stir-fried with rice cakes and vegetables, create a rich and harmonious flavor. The fried rice cakes are imbued with the aroma of the ingredients. A bite of them is soft, chewy, and the salty, fragrant flavor spreads across your tongue. It may seem ordinary, but it's incredibly satisfying. I'll instantly fall in love with this simple yet delicious Chinese rice cake.

Chicken with Korean spices

This Korean-style chicken features chicken pieces that are deep-fried until golden brown, then coated in a signature Korean sauce—a combination of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, sesame oil, corn syrup, sugar, and dried chili flakes—that imparts a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor. The texture is tantalizing: the chicken is crispy on the outside, but the sauce layer remains slippery and rich. The aromas of garlic and sesame oil blend together beautifully, while a sprinkling of fresh scallions adds freshness and a pop of color. This dish is the perfect blend of bold Korean flavors and the familiarity of fried chicken—perfect as a special snack or a fun main course.

The skin is fried to a golden crisp, glistening with honey mustard sauce, and sprinkled with parsley, instantly elevating the look and making your mouth water. One bite and the crispy skin melts in your mouth, while the tender, juicy chicken inside bursts with flavor. The aroma of black pepper blends perfectly with the sweet and spicy sauce—it's so delicious you'll lick your fingers! It's perfect for binge-watching, gatherings with friends, or a late-night snack, and it's a perfect match for beer. Recreate the same joy you experience in Korean dramas at home—you won't be able to stop eating it!

Japanese-style kimchi fried rice

Golden rice grains are coated in a tangy and spicy sauce, garnished perfectly with seaweed flakes and chopped green onions. The first bite is a burst of tangy, spicy, and savory flavors on the tongue, the salty aroma of bacon blending perfectly with the tenderness of the egg. Each grain of leftover rice is distinct and separate, making every bite satisfying and delicious. This tastes exactly like the bowl I always order at Japanese restaurants. The portions there are pitifully small, disappearing in just a few bites. This bowl of leftover rice easily replicates the flavor, filling and substantial, offering excellent value for money.

Miyeokguk (Korean Beef Seaweed Soup) is a warm, savory bowl built on tender sliced beef and silky seaweed, gently stir-fried in sesame oil before simmering into a clean, comforting broth.

Seafood Scallion Pancakes

Seafood scallion pancakes (해물파전/Haemul Pajeon) are a quintessential Korean pancake dish. Not only are they a daily snack for Koreans, but they're also often enjoyed with makgeolli (rice wine), and are a classic favorite on rainy days. Freshly fried scallion pancakes are a feast for the taste buds. A golden egg crepe encases a soft, tender pancake, with slightly crispy edges. Each bite releases a burst of egg and wheat flavors, while the tender shrimp and soft crab sticks explode in your mouth, and the refreshing aroma of scallions perfectly balances the richness. Dipped in a sweet and sour sauce, the umami flavor is instantly amplified. Whether for breakfast, a late-night snack, or entertaining friends, a plate of seafood scallion pancakes is sure to turn heads!

Korean Kimchi

Enjoy the pleasures and benefits of eating Korean kimchi, especially homemade kimchi. With no unnecessary additives, the naturally fermented probiotics protect gut health, while lactic acid bacteria regulate the gut and dietary fiber aids digestion. It boasts a rich and layered flavor: a harmonious blend of sour, spicy, and savory. The lactic acid produced during fermentation brings a refreshing tang, while the spiciness of the chili is not overpowering. Paired with garlic, ginger, apple, and pear, it's crisp, tender, and juicy. It can be served as a side dish to cut through richness or to add a touch of soul to rice, noodles, and other staple foods. Every bite is appetizing and satisfying. When chewing, you can feel the collision of the natural sweetness of the ingredients with the fermented flavor. It tastes even more refreshing when chilled, making it a delightful and comforting addition to everyday meals. It's versatile: it can be eaten raw as a side dish, stir-fried with pork belly, used in army stew, or added to kimchi soup. Heating it softens the sourness and enhances the aroma, making it a delightful addition to both casual meals and lavish banquets.
