Hi Guys! I came across this incredible book Korean cooking for Indian homes by the Korea Tourism Organization. There are 10 simplified Korean recipes & you can download the cookbook for free by clicking on this link!

I prepared two recipes from the book & they turned out to be super delicious & were so easy to prepare.

Food fact: Korean foods are served all at once. Unlike Western meals that are served in multiple courses, a Korean expects all dishes to be served together. The table decoration changes according to the number of items being served, with the number of banchan or side dishes anywhere between five and twelve.

Ingredient trivia & substitutions:

Glass Noodles: Authentically glass noodles are used for Japchae, I have used rice noodles, you can also use rice noodles in stead which are widely available & if you do not get those too easily, you could use flour noodles too.

Gochu-garu: Gochu garu is a red hot Korean chilli powder, you could use a spicy red chilli powder in replacement.

Gochujang: Gochujang is a traditional Korean condiment made by fermenting a mixture of chilli pepper powder with other ingredients and is used in many recipes. I would not recommend you to replace this ingredient because it has a specific flavour profile which is important for this recipe & also it is widely available in stores & online. If you do not find this ingredient then you could use a red chilli paste which you can prepare at home, the flavour though would be quite different but yet delicious & you could enjoy the recipe.

Corn Syrup- You can use honey or maple syrup

Chives- Use Spring onion greens

Unrefined sugar- You can use regular sugar syrup

Enjoy Korean cooking & do try these recipes & let me know your experience in the comment box.
