Korean Mixed Rice with Sashimi (Hwe Dub Bap) combines many things that I love (sashimi, salad, and rice) into one huge bowl. It's perfect for summer, so I eat it as often as I can afford to buy or make it during the warmer months.

Spicy Pork, Two Ways

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 09:43:26 +0000

Although people here in America associate Korean food with beef, Korean people love their pork. It doesn't have to be a huge amount, but even the smallest portion in a Korean stew, a fried rice, or as a side dish (banchan) is always appreciated. It's also usually cheaper than beef in Korea, which makes it more of an everyday protein.

Two Korean Pork Classics:

Picnic season is in full swing in our region (Northeast United States), and PaJun (Korean Scallion Pancake) is always a good portable treat. It's self-contained, easy to eat with your hands, and still tastes fabulous at room temperature.

Do You Eat Everything With Chopsticks?

I eat almost everything with chopsticks. What about you guys? Talk about it in the forum...
