Spicy stir-fried squid (ojingeo bokkeum)
This squid dish is one of the most popular spicy dishes in Korean cuisine. The squid is cut into bite-sized pieces and stir fried in a slightly sweet red chili sauce along with vegetables. This recipe is certainly hot, but not fiery hot. Adjust the spiciness level to your taste. One way to reduce the spiciness is to use fewer fresh chili peppers (or none at all). Fresh chili peppers are called for in the classic versions of the dish, but the heat can be quite intense with certain varieties.This

Unique cafes in Seoul
“Baa, baa” is not a sound usually heard in cafés. But at Thanks Nature Café situated in the middle of Hongdae, home to two incredibly cute sheep, Nana and Berry, the sound of sheep is an essential element of the experience. Unlike cat and dog cafés where animals wander freely around the eating area, the cafe separates itself from the outside patio where the two snowy white farm animals occupy a space fully dedicated to their well-being. After spending the past 20 years in the commercial business

Dalk bulgogi (chicken bulgogi)
If you like the sweet and savory bulgogi flavor but not red meat, this one’s for you. Bulgogi is a marinated meat dish made with thin slices of beef. Dalk bulgogi is a variation made with chicken (“dalk” means chicken). For the chicken version, I like to add a bit of lemon flavor to give the dish a tasty spark. I used boneless chicken thigh, but you can use boneless breast or a combination of both. The bite-size chicken pieces marinate and cook quickly, making this dish a good option for a weekn
