Korean Army Stew, Budae Jjigae

January 17, 2017 by Holly Ford 3 Comments

Korean Army Stew, Budae Jjigae

Some Korean dishes have a sad history behind. This spicy looking stew called Korean army stew, aka "budae jjigae (부대찌개)", is one them. During and after the Korean war in the early 50's, Korea was known for the world's poorest country. Millions of civilians were killed, orphans were wondering on every street, farmlands and the roads were destroyed, majority of Korean people suffered with lack of food and medicine. Many had to scavenge for anything that they can eat. People had to depend on relief ...

Korean Side Dishes

However, making several side dishes for just one meal can be time consuming. Here are 3 tasty Korean side dishes recipes that can be prepared within 5-10 minutes from start to finish per each.

Beef and Bean Sprout Soybean Paste Stew

August 5, 2015 by Holly Ford 7 Comments

I brought a jar of Korean soybean Paste when I came back to Buenos Aires from my summer trip in U.S. It smelled quite stinky, which means wonderful taste when it is made into a stew. I had some soybean sprouts, so I made beef and bean sprout soybean paste stew (소고기 된장찌개, sogogi doenjang Jjigae). The recipe would be similar to the beef soybean paste stew recipe that I posted a few years ago. This would be an adapted and updated recipe, and I hope you can try this comforting stew. It is a ...

Tofu and Tomato Eggs

February 26, 2015 by Holly Ford 7 Comments

Tofu and Tomato Egss

I can't tell what the identity of this dish is. It is like a soup but it is not. It can be a savory custard but doesn't look like it. WTH, I will just call it tofu and tomato eggs. It surely is one of those easy-peasy comfort foods that doesn't require much time and effort. It tastes great served with rice as a simple meal. I enjoyed it when my heart was down and low. I hope you enjoy it, too.   I smashed the soft tofu. Saute onion and garlic in a little oil until soft. ...

Spicy Tofu and Eggs

February 4, 2015 by Holly Ford 11 Comments

Spicy Tofu and Egg

I don't watch TV that often, but I often overhear conversations about particular foods seen on TV. As a foodie, I always have to find out what it is and if I would like it. This recipe, spicy tofu and eggs, 매운 두부달걀찜(maewoon dubu dalgyal jjim), was one recipe that I heard is really good. It is simply braised tofu with egg in a spicy sauce. I made braised tofu with radish a couple of years ago and it is one of my favorite ways of enjoying tofu. This would be another version with a similar flavor ...

Watercress Tofu Salad

December 9, 2014 by Holly Ford 7 Comments

Watercress Tofu Salad

My mother is a devoted Buddhist. As a kid I occasionally accompanied her to one of the Buddhist temples she often visited. I saw her vowing hundreds of times down to the floor in front of Buddha statue asking for mercy and compassion. She had many wishes to pray to Buddha and all of her wishes were for her children. One of the fond memories of visiting a Buddhist temple is the FOOD. Like other millions of kids around the world, I wasn't a vegetable lover as a child. (Were you?) However, it ...

Mapo Tofu

September 12, 2014 by Holly Ford 7 Comments

Mapo Tofu

Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐) is my first love in Chinese food. When I first heard of it a long time ago, I thought it was originated from Korea. Because the name "Mapo" sounded same as the name of the area in Seoul called Mapo-gu. LOL!!!  I was just an innocent girl who didn't know much about the global food at that time. Well, to clarify it..., Mapo tofu is not from Seoul. As far as I know it is from Sichuan province of China. I think there are several versions of how this delicious tofu recipe has ...

Beef and Tofu Stew in a Skillet

September 7, 2014 by Holly Ford 9 Comments

Beef Tofu Stew in a Skillet

One of the tough challenge I am facing these days in Buenos Aires has to be the grocery shopping for Korean food items. There is Korean town on the other side of the city. It takes about 1 hour to get there. I don't mind driving that far, but the obstacle is that there is absolutely no place to park no matter what time of the day I go. Streets are very narrow and all occupied with cars. It is frustrating and discouraging. Last weekend I had to take my husband to drop me off right in front of the ...
