Salmon taco meets Korean radish salad. A perfect Korean-Mexican fusion taco is born. I love blackened salmon so I combined with Korean radish salad in a taco form. The crunchiness of Korean radish adds delightful texture to the taco. The gentle heat form the radish salad adds a kick to the taco and works very well and the hint of sweetness works well with the blackened salmon. Topped with fresh Pico de Gallo, this salmon Korean radish taco is another win for Korean-Mexican fusion style ...

Cabbage Ramen Salad
Cabbage ramen salad is one of the oriental style salad recipes I have often ate when I first came to U.S 25 years ago. Every potluck party I went, someone always brought this salad. Some were really good, and the other were very oily or too sweet. I was surprised to see how cheap the ramen was first, and then even more surprised how horrible it tasted after I tasted when it was made into noodle soup. No wonder people used only the noodle part of ramen package. Toasting the ramen noodle ...

Hambak Steak

However, Korean hambak steak was perhaps most influenced by the Japanese version of Salisbury steak, the "Hambagu". Hambak steak was one of my favorite western foods when I was growing up. I remember how excited I was whenever my parents took me and my sisters to the ...
Korean Chicken and Potato Dumplings
There is a dish called Soojebi (수제비) in Korea. It is a humble soup-like dish made with simple flour dumplings. Some soojebi has chicken, some has sea food or kimchi along with potato and zucchini. The dumpling itself is made with plain flour, salt and water. Quite simple and humble. I don't think I had soojebi that often when I was growing up in Korea. Mainly because..., my father hated it. He hated it because he ate it so often and so much as he was growing up in the ...
