Homemade Korean Food

My internship company is very near Korean Village at Ampang. One day after lunch, we went to look around at a Korean mini market there. I can't stop myself from buying my favourite kimchi. After that, I decided to try to cook kimchi soup. During free time at office, I google for the recipe. I found some other korean dishes that is easy to made so i decided to cook a meal of korean food for my family. I planned to cook 4 dishes but end up cooking 2 dishes only. Since I only bought 1 box of kimchi, its not enough to make 2 kimchi dishes. So i choose to make kimchi soup and give up on kimchi fried rice. Another dish that I fail to make is korean pancake because i bought the wrong main ingredient. But overall is consider successful. Everyone say its delicious.


Tadaa....! My korean food meal.


Every korean meal must have kimchi as side dish.


Gochoojang (korean chili paste). This is the most important ingredient in cooking korean food. Almost all korean food need this. This is also the paste that used in preserving kimchi. The taste is very unique, definitely not same with normal chili paste. Its not cheap but luckily that time I found 1 market that got promotion. This brand can also be found at Jusco.


Kimchi (RM7.00). More spicy compare to the 1 Cuiyi bought at other market but we think that her 1 is more tasty and cheaper.



Kimchi Chigae (kimchi soup). My sister say it taste exactly like those in korean restaurant but mine is a bit too spicy. We all eat till flu and tears drowning.



Dak Jorim (spicy chicken and potato stew). Even Sam that don't like weird weird food think that its delicious. This stew is suppose to have more gravy but i over cook it so its quite dry.

If you are interested to try my cooking, make a reservation with me. Satisfaction guaranteed. But the price will be high. Hehe...
