I want to start cooking more, but am looking for either a cook book or website that will show me how to do it. I feel like my cooking is really limited here with just the 2 electric burners that i have, but im willing to try. Is ��Ԥ��Ť��� easy to make?

In the past I've looked for some good sites but couldn't find any. Your best bet is to find some good cookbooks. Try the Kyobo bookstore. As long as you can read Korean, you'll be fine. The most difficult part is finding those odd ingredients. Especially if you're back in the States.

���� is just a matter of getting the thinly sliced pork from your local butcher or supermarket, throwing it in a pan or grill

You can find "Korean Cookery" (it's orange) in almost any bookstore. It has lots of recipes, PLUS it tells you what the ingredients are, and they write the Korean names in English.

Good Korean cooking should be added to the oxymoron link.

It does take a while, but you can cook excellent food in Korea if you work with the seasons. Korea is very changeable when it comes to the cost of ingredients.

Learn survivl Korean adn get to yuor local market.

Before you Cook Korean dishes....

Koreans use red bean paste (gochujang), and bean paste (doenjang) for cooking many dishes. Doenjang is like Japanese miso, but doenjang has stronger bean taste. Doenjang and gochujang are essentials for Koreans, as much as Kimchi. Doenjang and gochujang are made of soy beans, so without a lot of explanation, they are good for you! Recently, I heard that gochujang has special enzyme that helps people to lose weight.
If you are trying first time, get the smallest jar or plastic container of gochujang and doenjang.

Roasted sesame seeds (Cham ke) and sesame seed oil (Cham girum) are also essential ingredients in Korean cooking. I noticed that there are some brand of sesame seed oil that does not have the distinctive smell. That is useless for Korean cooking. Get them either at a Korean market or at a Japanese market.

A lot of times, Korean dish uses green onion and garlic. Make sure to brush your teeth after meal...^^ Eat a lot of Kimchi. It does not control breath smell, but it supposed to help control body odor. (Did you know Koreans have the least body odor because of Kimchi?)


From Juliascook book page
I had to highlight that point, its a good website and Korean food is tasty sometimes, but the body odour and kimchi breath is always present what is she talking about ?

There's a book in English: A Korean Mother's Cookbook, or something like that. Great book. It��s a collection of recipes from a Korean mother to her daughters, made into a book.

My wife writes a great step by step Korean cooking blog.

Wicked.Thanks~~~

I was really stumped about what to make my mother -in -law for Chuseok when she visits.I'll try to make the sweet and sour chicken.

Her choice of panchan is usually pretty bitter and medicinal seeming.

Steps are straightforward,think I can follow it

I don't how you are with Korean but it's not too tough to get good enough to understand enough of a cookbook. Especially if it has pictures.
