Ah, it has been too long since I did a cooking post. Well, I just haven’t been cooking much lately with the holiday season in the air. But now that’s over, it’s back to the stove. Gochujang – the sweet and spicy bean paste that flavour many of our favourite Korean dishes. Unless we’re Korean, [...]

After weeks of searching, I finally found rice cakes at the supermarket in the fresh noodle section. D’oh. I wonder why it didn’t occur to me to look there before. For my friends back home, check out the Korean mart for rice cakes. Korean rice cake and the Chinese nian gao (New Year cake) are [...]

The hae-mul pajeon Liz and Orchid had looked delish. It didn’t look difficult to make, so I decided to try my own. Below is a recipe for [...]

I must admit, when Liz, Orchid and I went out for our Korean lunch in Beijing, I snubbed the Japchae. “Japchae? Why, it looks just like Chap Chai (Chinese mixed vegetable dish). I want to try something special!” In contrast to the Malaysian Chinese Chap Chai (consisting of napa cabbage, fermented beancurd, beancurd sheets, glass [...]

Orchid will be happy to know that her favourite snack happens to also be a common Korean treat! Dried persimmons – a preserved fruit snack that’s well loved across Asia. In Korean, it is known as gotgam (곶감). In Malaysia, the Hokkien community has given gotgam the rather endearing name of gu sai pneah which [...]

Chamchi Kimbap (Tuna R0lls) This is my first time making Kimbap or any kind of sushi roll for that matter. It turned out okay – at least some sort of roll resembling a Kimbap produced itself as the end result (phew!) I wasn’t very satisfied with the rice though, it was too mushy. All i [...]
