[Home Cooking] Oi buchu kimchi: cucumber kimchi made with garlic chives
Aug 2, 2018
Oi buchu kimchi (Korean Bapsang)Cucumbers are in their peak season. This recipe is a quick and easy kimchi you can make with summer’s abundant cucumbers. It’s crisp, crunchy, and delicious.Buchu, or Korean garlic chives, is commonly added to oi kimchi, but you can use scallions instead if you like.

Eels for summer at Millennium Seoul HiltonMillennium Seoul Hilton’s Japanese restaurant Genji prepared a special eight-course set menu for guests who have lost their energy in the scorching summer heat. The course menu includes classic Japanese dishes such as sashimi and tempura. But what stands out the most is the Orotson eel teriyaki.

[Epicurean Challenge] Snake-like creature writhes, squirms on grill
Aug 2, 2018
Gomjangeo, often mispronounced as ggomjangeo, refers to inshore hagfish in Korean. Hagfish may not sound, or look, appealing, with its degenerated eyes and a snake-like body that produces slime when distressed. But that does not stop Koreans from taking up a culinary challenge with the sea-dweller. (Shot and produced by Lim Jeong-yeo/The Korea Herald) After being thoroughly skinned, gomjangeo goes on the grill. Restaurants and pubs often grill them outside on a strong fire, such as

[Epicurean Challenge] Yet another pig part to devour -- tail
Jul 26, 2018
Koreans are known for “thoroughly” eating the pig. We barbecue the meat, grill the intestines, make a soup with leftover meat and steam the feet. But there is more to the list: grilling pig tail and pork rinds. Pork rinds and pig tail (By Im Eun-byel / The Korea Herald)When visualizing a pig tail, an image of a squiggly, pinkish, spring-like tail comes to mind. The cute visual isn’t really appetizing. But no worries, pig tail on the grill doesn’t look anything like it. The tail is chopped into
[Epicurean Challenge] Revitalize with chicken foot, eel and carp extracts
Jul 24, 2018
The idea of gaining energy by drinking unidentified brown liquid may sound suspiciously close to that of a magic potion. But such potions do exist in the real world, or at least in Korea, under the name of “nutritional extracts.”Plastic pouches of murky brown liquid substances may be healthier than one might expect, as they contain “jeup,” or extracts, of various produce considered beneficial in Korea. Talk about sucking the juice out of life. The extracts may not seem very appetizing, akin to o
How avocados are gaining ground in Korea
Jul 22, 2018
A growing number of South Koreans are discovering the value of avocados. While its oddly soft texture, green hue and rough exterior may have been unsettling at first, the avocado is now being praised locally for its nutritional value. It is noted especially among the younger generation to be full of vitamins, great for the skin, low in cholesterol and beneficial to dieting.For its health benefits and delicious, buttery consistency, the green fruit is being incorporated into more meals.

[Epicurean Challenge] Chicken bathing in hot soup, samgyetang
Jul 12, 2018
Samgyetang, or ginseng chicken soup, is the most often mentioned dish when talking about revitalizing cuisine for the summer season. Its appearance may seem strange, as a whole small chicken sits in the steaming broth -- seemingly taking a bath with legs crossed. (Video shot and produced by Lim Jeong-yeo/The Korea Herald)Looking closer, goosebumps on the chicken skin can be observed. While some crave the skin for its melting mouthfeel, others dislike it for the fat.Some places serve a glass of g
