Sohui Kim
Castella Cake
Castella cake is deliciously light and fluffy, and it goes great with afternoon tea and some marmalade or jam.
Pork and Chive Dumplings
One great thing about dumplings is that you can use practically anything in the filling—and you can pan-fry them, or boil them, or deep-fry them.
Red Wine and Soy–Braised Short Ribs
These richly flavored ribs are a riff on kalbi jjim, a traditional Korean special-occasion dish.
Kimchi Jjigae
Any vegetable or meat would be in good company with this stew’s spicy-funky base of kimchi, gochugaru, and gochujang.
Soy-Marinated Eggs
What’s better than a jammy egg? One that’s been sitting in a tangy-salty marinade of chiles, soy, mirin, and vinegar, like this classic star of Korean banchan.
Tteokguk (Good Luck Korean Rice Cake Soup)
Korean rice cakes can be found frozen or vacuum-packed. They’re delicious in soups (of course) but also seared or lightly grilled.
Vegetable Kimchi
Turn any vegetable into a flavorful, spicy pickle with this simple kimchi technique.
