Korean Curry RiceRecipes
I love the fall. The weather is getting cooler, my slow cooker happily takes its semi-permanent place on my kitchen counter while my oven always seems to be occupied roasting something. There are a handful of comfort food dishes that I crave in fall, and this Korean Curry Rice is one of them. This mild dish uses beef short ribs, and it is cooked with carrots, potatoes, and serve over white rice. As a kid, I have fond memories of walking into our kitchen and smelling curry simmering on the stove.

Recipe: 3-Ingredient Kimchi Hash BrownsRecipes
If I see potatoes on a breakfast menu, I’m probably going to order them. My favorite potato dish is diner-style hash browns done properly, all shredded and crisped up on a griddle until golden-brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. But do you know what tops diner-style hash browns? Adding kimchi to the mix. This unexpected combination is so good I almost ate the entire pan in one sitting.

Recipe: Slow Cooker Korean BBQ-Style Beef TacosRecipes
The easiest way to bring restaurant-style bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef) to your own dinner table? These three-ingredient slow cooker tacos — which aren’t authentic, of course, but will deliver the sweet, savory, and spicy flavors you expect from Korean BBQ. All you need is flank steak, barbecue sauce, and gochujang — which we like to think of as the spicy miso of Korean cooking.

Flank steak is my absolute favorite cut of steak for weeknights. It’s quick-cooking, and the most budget-friendly steak I know. Plus, you can cook it a number of different ways, and make a ton of different dinner options out of this one single cut. While this particular marinade is inspired by Korean bulgogi, it acts as a basic framework that can be adapted to a variety of flavor profiles.

Recipe: Collards and KimchiRecipes
Fusion foods are created when ingredients, flavors, or a technique from one cuisine combine with those of another. I like to call these kinds of dishes “When Harry Met Sally” recipes. These recipes are born when you think two different things can’t possibly be friends because something will inevitably get in the way. But those two flavors keep bumping into each other (sometimes in your dreams) because — despite their differences — it’s just meant to be.

3 Condiments Nearly Every Korean Cook Has in Their FridgePeople
Korean cuisine is all about the jang — that is, the ganjang, doenjang, gochujang, and other soybean-based sauces and pastes, whose fermentation brings complexity and depth to every dish they season. If you’re looking to experiment with fermented flavors, there are three major jang ingredients you’ll spot in just about every Korean kitchen (and may want to stock in your own). Ganjang is soy sauce. Within the classification, there are two key types: wae-ganjang and guk-ganjang.

Inside the Spice Cabinet: GochugaruSkills
The vibrant red spice known as gochugaru is a blend of red pepper flakes widely used in Korean cooking. Taste: Spicy, smoky Most Popular Use: kimchi, sauces An essential ingredient in Korean cuisine, gochugaru (or kochukaru) is a coarsely ground red pepper with a texture between flakes and powder. Traditionally, gochugaru is made from sun-dried chile peppers, and versions that are prepared in this manner are still considered the best tasting. The flavor is hot, sweet, and slightly smoky.

6 Ways to Try Gochujang (aka the New Sriracha)Skills
Koreans love their hot food. According to the Chile Pepper Institute, Koreans consume 5.5 pounds of hot red pepper powder per person on an annual basis — and much of that goes into gochujang. Pronounced go­-choo-­jang, the spicy fermented paste is made from red chile peppers, sweet rice, and soy, giving the product a mellow heat — hot, but not the napalm blast you get with scotch bonnet peppers — and a funky sweetness.

The Most Interesting Way to Spice Up a Party DipKitchen

Go off-course to punch up your party dip with a swirl of funky, spicy kimchi. It’s the one-ingredient upgrade that will bring big flavor and texture to any dip. The mild flavor of bean dip, the coolness of yogurt, or the richness of cheese dip are just the right balance for this fiery fermented mix-in.

Recipe: Ultimate Korean Short RibsRecipes
When Seattle chef duo Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi debated what angle to take on their third restaurant, Trove, they couldn’t ignore what their customers wanted: Korean barbecue. Per usual, though, they didn’t want to make it strictly traditional — which is how Trove became known as the Korean-ish place where you take friends to grill lemongrass-smothered tri-tip, tamarind-tinged duck breast, or za’atar-crusted pork belly on a Korean-style tabletop grill.

She then doused me with warm milk, slathered me in puréed cucumber, and sent me home a new woman. Or at least one with unrecognizably silky, glowing skin.
