I love Korean Food!

Actually it’s my favorite International food before Italian.     My liking for it started when I used to teach English to Korean nationals back when I was in college.   A lot of times they would ask me to stay for lunch, with Korean cuisines exclusively served on the table.  I never turned down their invitations not only because I  love spicy food and trying new dishes but mainly because I was hooked with their food!

Here in U.S. I won’t pass up going to Korean restaurant if there is one in the area.  Thankfully there is one close by Ft. Dix and so my family tries to go there for our once a month date.

Recently I was happy to come across a website  that features authentic Korean dishes.  It’s called Cathlyn’s Korean Kitchen which is hosted of course by Cathlyn ;).  I really don’t know who she is nor have I heard of her before, but her website is really very nice.  She does not only provide a step by step procedure of each dish she cooks but also post a printable recipe to help those who are not so confident in the kitchen like me. 😀

My first attempt in Korean cooking was Jabchae.  It looked similar to Filipino pancit as some of the ingredients were the same, but the flavor was a lot different.  My hubby thought that it was good, and said that “it’s a keeper”.
