Sanjeok, (skewered beef with asparagus, mushrooms)
Asparagus is in season! Look for bright green stalks that are firm with tight tips. I enjoy this delicious and healthy spring vegetable in any form. Here, I used them in a traditional Korean dish called sanjeok. It is a variety of jeok ― skewered meat and vegetables. Some jeok varieties are egg-battered, but sanjeok is not. As with any skewered or kebab dish, you can have fun with it by mixing up different meats and vegetables. 2-3 servings Ingredients:● 9 asparagus stalks (at least medium thick

Nouveau sushi at Tatsumi
Modern sushi has evolved by leaps and bounds in Seoul over the past few years to the point where it is practically the norm. Now, fish-obsessed diners can pick from a burgeoning crop of both high-end and wallet-friendly spots to satisfy cravings for sumptuous omakase meals where mouthwatering sushi is served piece by perfectly seasoned piece. A mere three years ago, that was not the case. When Tatsumizushi quietly opened in Ichon-dong, Seoul, the restaurant was one of the first to present the co

Tteokbokki, (spicy rice cakes)
Tteokbokki is a beloved Korean street food with many variations. This spicy version was developed in 1953, the year the Korean War ended, and became popular as an affordable comfort snack. Over time, the dish has continued to evolve. Other ingredients such as fish cake, ramen, dumplings, boiled eggs, and even seafood have been added to this dish. Here, I kept the recipe simple. Anchovy broth is typically used, to add depth to the flavor, but you can simply use water as well. This recipe is spicy

Keeping it earnest at Ours Blanc
The secret to Ours Blanc’s successful launch of its second store near Hongdae is very straightforward. Ours Blanc Hongdae store manager Kim Bo-yean pretty much summed up in one short sentence: “We make honest bread.” The bakery-cafe’s loaves, pastries and sandwiches do not skimp on substance, quality or taste and are reasonably priced to boot, with bread ranging from around 2,000 won to 4,000 won ($1.80 to $3.60) and hefty sandwiches from around 5,000 won to 6,000 won.

Time to get the kitchen knives professionally sharpened
I have beautiful kitchen knives. I received my set of hand-forged J.A. Henckels knives on my first day of cooking school 25 years ago, and the instructor told us that if we cared for them properly we would have these knives for life.I think about that often as I note the knives in their wooden block and think, “Wow, I really have to get these sharpened.”I don’t use these high-carbon knives, forged from a proprietary mixture of metals that make them very hard and more or less rust-free.

Radish soup, (mu guk)
In this radish soup (mu guk), I used a quick method, common in Korean cooking, to make a beef soup base. The thinly sliced beef is seasoned with guk ganjang (soup soy sauce) and sauted before being boiled in water. The result is a broth with a deep flavor that deliciously complements the white radish. 4 servingsIngredients:● 170 grams beef brisket (or beef chuck)● 2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided● 340 grams Korean radish (mu)● 2 scallions● 2 tablespoons guk ganjang (soup soy sauce*), divided ●
