Hi There!   🍨Happy Friday!!🍺   I hope you all had a good week! And even if you didn't.. well, it's the weekend so you survived another week!! woohoo!!   This week, I FINALLY got to launch my Korean Ingredient Glossary!! YAY!!! I have been working on this on and off for the last few months and although I modified my original plan of 100 ingredients down to more like 35.. I am happy that I'm able to share these to start! I will be adding more every week so hopefully I will reach 100 not too much into the distant future.   Each ingredient page will have information that will help you identify, what and where to buy, how to store and how to cook with the ingredient, along with recipes that use them (if I have them that is..). I hope it will help you learn and also use up ingredients that you don't know what to do with.. 😝😝   Last Sunday, I visited an elder in our church and was lucky enough to bring home a few Ssuk (mugwort) plants. I hope they will grow and grow and soon I hope I can make some ssuk tteok with it!! Ssuk can be grown pretty similar to minari - just from the stems - but of course doesn't need all the water!   This Monday, I had my neighbor friends join us for a simple BBQ dinner as they own a restaurant and Monday is the only day they have off. Everyone really enjoyed the food and I will share the menu below.   Have a good weekend! XOXO JinJoo     Bugeo Guk 북어국 (Dried Alaskan Pollock Soup) is always a favorite in our house - my husband especially loves this soup. It's just such a feel good soup and also known as a 'hangover' soup since it's known to be good for your liver get rid of toxins. I added some Kongnamul this time and it was extra yummy!! Bugeo Guk Recipe With leftover Kongnamul after adding some to the Bugeo Guk, I made this easy spicy Kongnamul dish. And then at the table, I added some of the spicy juice from this namul in my Bugeo Guk - OMG!! 😍😍It was just amazing!!! TRY IT! -  My husband tells me my IQ always goes up a notch when it comes to food..lol 😝🤣 Spicy Kongnamul Recipe Jangjorim is another regular side dish that I cook and keep it for several days in the fridge for everyday banchan. I now make this in the Instant Pot mostly because the recipe really works well. I've also added some fresh shiitake mushrooms this time after hearing how my friend enjoyed it this way and it came out delicious!!  Add the mushrooms when you add the eggs. Jangjorim Recipe Instant Pot Jangjorim Recipe And don't forget to make this simple rice bowl with some Jangjorim sauce +  butter on warm rice!! So simple and perfect for lunch or breakfast!! These are the dishes I made for my friends on Monday. I started with everyone's favorite - Korean Kalbi Short Ribs BBQ with the sides and then made the spicy squid and pork belly and finished with some fried rice with the leftover juice in the pan. And I used some Minari from my garden!! Here are the recipes - just click on each name below for RECIPE Green Onion Salad (Pa Muchim) Osam Bulgogi (Spicy quid and Pork Belly) Apple Onion Celery Salad With leftover Kalbi and lots of veggies leftover from the salad and ssam, I made this lovely Bulgogi Rice Bowl. But instead of bulgogi I used leftover Kalbi on one day and leftover Osam Bulgogi on another day. It was delish!!  Bulgogi Deopbap (Bulgogi Rice Bowl) Here's a screenshot of one ingredient page - Korean Mareun Myeolchi (Dried Anchovies).
