Bulgogi
One of the most popular Korean dishes, this thinly sliced meat has a smoky sweet flavor when broiled or cooked on the grill. It's even delicious stir-fried, and the tender beef can be used in anything from Korean “sushi” rolls (Kimbap) to Stir-fried Noodles (Chapchae). Bulgogi is usually accompanied with lettuce wraps and spicy red pepper paste (Kochujang) for wrapping and spicing up the meat.

Chapchae
Chapchae is one of the most popular noodle dishes in Korea, and also seems to be the one that Westerners like best. The foundation of the dish is the mixture of the noodles, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. Because sweet potato noodles absorb tons of flavor, you can mix and match the vegetables or meat to your liking.

Galbi Jim
These Korean braised short ribs are slow simmered over low heat to a tender and sweet finish. It's hard to have leftovers with Galbi Jim because it's such a crowd-pleaser, whether it's a fancy gathering or just a comforting homestyle meal.

Bibimbap
Bibimbap is delicious, gorgeous on the plate, and easily tweaked for different palates and spice levels. I've included six vegetables in this recipe, but you can easily make it with just 3 or 4 or what you happen to have in your fridge. Koreans usually eat this rice dish with some beef, but I usually top mine with just an egg fried sunny side-up.

Kimbap
I am calling these Korean rice rolls sushi because at first glance, they do resemble the Japanese rolls that Westerners associate with sushi. But kimbap is not considered fine or fancy fare in Korea, it's actually picnic and snack food that you eat with your hands. Portable and neat, kimbap is the perfect food for on the go or for a packed lunch. Traditional fillings include seasoned vegetables, egg, meat and/or imitation crab, but these days anything goes.

Mandoo
A Korean dumpling recipe that is easy to make- mandoo can be prepared in large quantities in advance and stored in the freezer for future use. Korean dumplings are traditionally made with a beef or pork filling, but chicken and vegetarian dumplings are also popular. Versatile and delicious, mandoo can be boiled, steamed, deep fried, pan-fried or added to soup.

Kimchibokumbap
Kimchi Fried Rice is humble food that is mostly enjoyed at home, but you might also see it in some casual Korean eateries. At home, it's a great way to use leftover kimchi that's a bit past its prime. I almost always make it if we have leftover rice and/or kimchi, and usually use Canadian bacon as a protein if I have it. Quick, easy, and cheap to make, kimchi bokumbap is simple Korean homecooking at its best.

Kimchichigae
This spicy kimchi stew is served bubbling hot and makes good use of leftover or older kimchi. Fiery hot, hearty, and full of flavor, kimchichigae is great for cold winter days but Koreans can eat it anytime, anywhere.

Daenjang Chigae
This thick, fragrant stew is a Korean comfort food especially popular in the cold winter months. Korean bean paste (daenjang) is similar to Japanese miso but is much more pungent and powerful. Daenjang chigae is wonderfully hearty and can be made with almost any vegetables you have on hand. Although this is one dish where I actually prefer the more common zucchini, potato, and pepper combination of vegetables, it is delicious with carrots, other squashes, and turnips as well.

Korean Dinner Party
To throw a stress-free dinner party serving Korean food, it's important to choose a few dishes that can be made in advance and are still delicious when warmed up. This easy Korean dinner party menu includes rice, broiled salmon, noodles (chapchae), braised short ribs (galbi jim), kimchi and spinach side dishes, bean sprout soup, and barley tea. Everything but the salmon and short ribs can be made well in advance, and even these two gorgeous main dishes require very little hands-on time.

Spicy Noodle Soup
This spicy soup is a forgiving recipe that I make it when I need a quick soup and only have a few ingredients in the fridge. It can take a variety of different vegetables, noodles, and proteins and will still taste good. This recipe calls for Tofu Shirataki noodles, which are low-carb and low calorie Japanese noodles. But if you are not on a low cal diet or lifestyle, you can use other Asian noodles; I like to use Japanese udon or Korean sweet potato noodles.

DIY Fro Yo
A simple and easy way to make Korean-style frozen yogurt at home. Tart, lightly sweet, and impossibly healthy, Korean-style frozen yogurt is the perfect snack or dessert.

Galbi
These Korean shortribs are tender, sweet, and full of of the flavors of soy and garlic. Called Galbi or Kalbi, they are usually served alongside lettuce and a spicy dipping sauce called ssamjang. A spoonful of rice, a piece of galbi, and a dollop of ssamjang wrapped up in lettuce is a divine mouthful of some of the best flavors in Korean cooking. Galbi is popular as both Korean picnic food and Korean-American restaurant food.

A delicious and healthy Korean side dish, Hobak Jun (or Jeon) is easy to prepare and goes well with almost every Korean meal. The zucchini is coated in a thin batter of flour and egg, sauteed on both sides, and served with soy sauce for dipping.

Potato Salad
Potato salad is popular in Korea, which surprises many non-Asians, and it's either included in meals as a side dish or makes a meal as a sandwich filling. Unlike Western versions it includes fruit, vegetables, and sometimes ham, and doesn't have a vinegary component. I usually omit the ham if I'm using it as banchan (side dish) but include it if I'm expecting to use the salad for lunch or picnic sandwiches.

Yogurt Soju
A yogurt cocktail might sound crazy, but yogurt soju is popular in Korea and all over Asia. Both yogurt and soju go well with the fiery aspects of Korean cuisine, so it makes sense that they'd be mixed by Koreans. But be careful, as the most common complaint about yogurt soju is that it's so easy to drink that you're drunk before you know it.

Dongchimi
A summer kimchi that is vinegary rather than spicy, dongchimi falls into the “white” or “water” category of the many different types of kimchi. Although dongchimi requires a few days of brining, it is very simple to make and lasts for a very long time in the refrigerator. With a tart, refreshing flavor, this white water kimchi (mool kimchi) is popular in the hot months as both a side dish and a cold soup.

Korean Egg Sandwich
Traditionally, Korean people ate rice, a few side dishes, and a bowl of soup or stew for breakfast. Now people in Korea sometimes eat cereal, pastries, or egg sandwiches for breakfast, similar to people in the West. This Korean breakfast sandwich, sold by street vendors in cities, is commonly called tost-u (toast) or gaeran tost-u (egg toast). It's not that different from an American egg sandwich, but the addition of cabbage and a sweet dusting of brown sugar are tasty Korean additions.

Spring Rolls
These spring rolls are made with perilla leaves and kochujang (spicy chili pepper paste), two common Korean ingredients. I first made these rolls because I had almost all the ingredients for SE Asian spring rolls except for the herbs (Thai basil, mint, cilantro). I had Italian basil, but I also had a bunch of fresh perilla leaves from the garden. Since perilla leaves are in the mint family, I just knew it would work.

Budaechigae
Budae Chigae was invented during the famine years of the Korean war and post-war period. Koreans managed to use leftover meat discarded or handed-out from the U.S. army bases to make this dish ("Budae" means military base and "Chigae" means stew in Korean). It's relatively recent invention with a thousand variations, but it's mostly a lip-smacking mixture of Western meat, ramen noodles, vegetables, and Korean spices.

Manul Changachi
Manul Changachi (Korean pickled garlic) is crunchy, salty, and a little bit spicy. It's not the flashiest banchan (side dish), but it can get addictive. I like garlic in almost any form, but if you are new to popping whole cloves of garlic in your mouth, then it's best to start with the youngest garlic cloves for pickling.

The mixture of tofu, eggs, glass noodles, and vegetables in these dumplings have a savory taste that even hardcore meat-eaters love.

Changjorim
This salty soy braised beef is a sensational Korean side dish. The meat becomes tender and well-flavored from long simmering and the chilies give the meat a spicy kick. For less heat, remove the seeds from the peppers before cooking or cut down the amount of peppers you are using. I like my changjorim to be on the salty and spicy side, but I have had sweeter versions that were delicious as well. If you prefer the sweet version, add more sugar and only a couple peppers to your pot.

Bungeoppang
These doughy pastries filled with sweet red bean paste are sold in Korea by street vendors. To make the fish shape at home, you need a special appliance similar to a waffle-maker. A healthy and delicious snack or dessert, their chewy, sweet, and slightly crispy texture make them a big crowd pleaser and always a hit with the under-10 crowd. There are also custard cream and ice cream versions; the red bean paste is the traditional filling.

Kongnamulbab
Koreans like to eat rice cooked with different beans and mixed with a variety of vegetables, but kongnamul bab is a personal favorite of mine. We only had it at special meals growing up, so I still get really excited to eat it, whether it's being served to me or I've made it with a handful of leftover sprouts wilting in the fridge. Adding beef or pork is something I've only started doing in recent years, and it's a good thing to do if you want to bulk up a meal.

Broiled Mackerel
Koreans love broiled fish that is either cooked whole or sliced in half and cooked until the skin is crisp and sizzling. Broiling is an easy and mess-free way to make almost any type of fish, and a side dish portion is easily done in the toaster oven on the broil setting. I usually ask the people at the fish counter to remove the spine, head, and tail so that I'm left with two halves of the mackerel with the skin on.

Top Anju
Alcohol is almost always enjoyed with a snack ("Anju") in Korea. These dishes are often savory and/or spicy like spicy fried chicken or squid, but nuts and fruit are also popular anju. It is a requirement to order anju with drinks at many Korean bars, clubs, and karaoke establishments.

Seafood Salad
This spicy seafood salad features a spicy Korean dressing for both the seafood and the greens. I usually make it with shrimp and squid because they are favorites in my household, but it is also very good with abalone, scallops, tuna, or a mix of different seafoods. The Korean love affair with chili peppers is well known, so it should be no surprise that we even manage to add chili spice to Western-style dishes like tossed salads.

Anchovy Stock
This fish-based broth is the traditional base for Korean soups and stews. Although meat broth has become more popular in recent years, this anchovy soup stock is still a staple in Korean cooking. It doesn't have a strong fish odor, but adds a deep and savory element when used in cooking Korean soups and stews.

Deng Shim Gui
I love almost all Korean meat marinades, whether the cook's version is salty, sweet, or spicy. And there is nothing like the smoky flavor of meat cooked on the grill. But thinly slicing and cutting the raw meat for bulgogi or having to turn many individual pieces of galbi on the grill can be time-consuming. Korean grilled steak is an easy East-West compromise, as it holds the deep bulgogi flavor but is still easy to cook and serve to a larger group for an outdoor meal.

Kimbap Cake
Korean kimbap, also sometimes called Korean sushi rolls, makes a colorful and creative presentation when layered into a tiered cake shape. A Korean kimbap sushi cake is perfect for people that don't like sweets, have special dietary needs, or just love kimbap and sushi. You can make it with whatever ingredients you wish (just like kimbap and sushi) and can even change the colors for special events and holidays.

Saewoo Twigim
Korean deep fried shrimp is easy to make and has a thin and extra crispy batter. Korean deep frying mix, which can be found in many Asian grocery stores, is a mix of flours and seasonings that make frying simple. These deep fried shrimp (saewoo twigim) can be made in 15 minutes but are so delicious that I like to serve them as one of the main dishes for dinner guests or special occasion meals.

Dongchimi Gooksu
This recipe for dongchimi noodles (dongchimi gooksu) can take between 10 minutes and 3 days to prepare. If you buy the dongchimi (the best way I can describe it clearly is to call it white radish water kimchi) ready-made or you already have it in your fridge, then this recipe takes about 10 minutes. If you are starting from scratch, then it takes about 3 days for the dongchimi to reach the correct flavor. It's worth it though, as the end result is a tart, refreshing bowl of cold noodles.

Pear and Honey Cure
Asian pears with honey are a simple and effective home remedy for coughs and sore throat. My Korean grandmother used to do this for us when we were little, and it's something that I now do for my own kids. Unlike many over-the-counter cough medicines, it actually helps to heal the symptoms (not just suppress them).

Korean Food and Wine
Korean food is notoriously hard to pair with wines, since there are so many different types of flavors in your average Korean meal. And since many of these flavors are intense and the scents aggressive, it can be hard to find a suitable wine for a Korean dinner. The trick is to make your wine decision based on the main dishes of the meal rather than the banchan (side dishes), since the latter will almost always include spicy, sweet, or salty flavors.

Low Carb List
There are so many Korean dishes to choose from that do not include rice or noodles, that it mightd seem easy to cut out carbs while eating Korean food. But I know a few Korean people who have tried a South Beach or Atkins type diet, and they have found it difficult to go without rice or noodles while enjoying the strong spicy, salty, or sour flavors in Korean food.
