Knowing what I know about Korean food, I attempted to gather some of my favorite Korean dishes mixed in with some Korean food that is straight up popular and added in some Korean recipes that I think most non-Koreans don't know about, but should!
Korean food can be good for you, make you feel great after you eat it, and if you haven't had it before get ready for some flavor explosions in your mouth!
Korean food can also be great for your money saving goals if you make it at home!

And now we have… the Korean burrito LOL. Seriously, kimbap is better than burritos in terms of health usually and if tortillas leave you feeling like you need a nap after eating them, the good news with kimbap is that you get the strong-hold-it-all-together power of a tortilla but with the lightweight-my-pants-aren't-any-tighter feeling of seaweed!
Yep, for the kimbap newbie, that wrapping stuff is seaweed! And it's one of those healthy foods you might wanna have more of so perhaps Korean food is a good way to start your seaweed love!

They look almost eggish in their shape and sheen and would be so fun to hide around the house if they had a non-edible barrier between them and the grass they'd be hiding in.
If you do a rice cake egg hunt, let me in!

Kimchimari is a great artist as you can see from this Woodstock rendition via ketchup!
I saw this Korean recipe for Korean omurice and kinda did a little happy dance because I was purposely looking for an excellent Korean omurice recipe as it was a standout dish in my experience in Korea.
As you can see, making Korean omurice can be a super fun way to decorate your kids' breakfast!
You know how there are tons of cute ideas out there in the world of the internet to decorate kids' food to make it more appealing?!
Well, this is a fun way to bring some smiles to kids' early morning faces as they eat breakfast that happens to be packed with protein!
On its own, Korean omurice looks like a huge yellow blob, but with some ketchup artistry, you can add all sorts of fun to this yellow canvas just begging for some ketchup art!
Stuffing stuff inside sweet potatoes is kinda a hobby of mine, and I have to say that Climbing Grier Mountain has created a Korean sweet potato combo idea here I haven't ever tried or thought of!

I've mentioned that bibimbap comes in various forms, but when you get down to it, there are two main forms of Korean bibimbap: metal bowl or stone pot.
See, even I was surprised I didn't write “cold” or “hot” as the distinction between bibimbaps. Ha!
Well, that's because if you let the hot stone pot version sit unheated for too long (like you're there talking with your friends forever and forget to eat) it will get cold, and it's still stone pot bibimbap. No matter how long the bibimbap has been sitting on your table, if it's in a stone pot and cooked as only the stone pot version is, it's a different type of bibimbap.
Yes really, the stone makes all the difference.
From Scratch Mostly is making all your stone pot bibimbap dreams become realities with this masterful Korean bibimbap recipe. If you are wondering about how the stone pot gets hot, well she'll tell you and show you.
BTW there's a lot you can do with this stone pot besides bibimbap, but bibimbap makes it all worth it.
The Korean dessert of all desserts is here to make you feel like you've had a dessert but didn't have any calories LOL.
Of course, there are calories, but the lightness, and the ice which is zero-calorie frozen water makes you feel like you're doing everything right by your body and your soul.
Kimchimari is great at giving you the real deal when it comes to Korean recipes, and this bingsu is just like you would order in any Korean cafe except if you make it yourself you can change up the toppings and likely pay a way lower price! See, all good reasons to celebrate!
Is that a cute little-breaded fish I see staring at me!?!
If you grab a fish maker, you'll have an easy time making these little fish that seem to swim the streets of Korea as they are on the ever popular list of Korean street food favorites.
Swim on over to Mamaloli's blog for all the fishy details.
#57

You see those leaves up there? Those are some yummy leaves.
I don't know how to describe these super tasty sesame leaves, or what to compare them to, or how to convince you that growing these leaves in your garden will make you all kinds of happy… I wish I could take my leafy memory taste buds and put them to words so you can know what a treasure of a Korean side dish recipe we have here.
Just make this Korean recipe, okay? Then you'll know what you could have been missing out on.
Oh, and they do sell these in cans, which shows you how amazing they must be right? I'm not advocating the can version; I'm just emphasizing that if people go to the trouble to can up these leaves and sell them, they must be super leaves! Well, I think they're super leaves. Dang, I love these leaves!
My Korean Kitchen has so many great Korean side dish recipes to try, making them all might be a great way to spend a life. In fact, she even created a Korean side dish book so you might wanna grab that when you visit her blog!

I would like to insert the sound of trumpets here… can you hear them playing… they are announcing the arrival of a Korean sweet potato pizza recipe!

Thanks to Kimchimari here is a great recipe to make your own radish kimchi at home, so you don't even have to go out to a restaurant! Although Korean restaurants are always fun so if you haven't tried one I do recommend it.
#70
Oh yes, kimchi isn't this what you were made for… well in terms of you know mixing with other stuff?!
Kimchi fried rice is good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You just might wanna hold off on the dessert department designation, but hey, you never know what kimchi and rice will become because things can get a little crazy when they start mixing together.
If you want to eat some food that makes you think it's too good so somebody better pinch you to see if it's real, you'll really enjoy hanging out on the Pinch of Yum blog.
#71
Savory kimchi pancake time!
Instead of thinking of pancakes in terms of bread and syrup, Korean pancakes are more along the lines of the ingredients of a great wrap all smashed together that you then dip in a dang good sauce. Yeah, something like that. Ha!
The Woks of Life blog has you covered with all things Asian and yum.
What everyone's been waiting for but never knew it, a traditional Korean drink recipe!
And you know what uninitiated Korean cuisine peeps?! This traditional Korean drink recipe will have you wondering, “Hey, where has this been all my sweet-loving life and is this dessert disguised as a drink?!”
Just make it, and when you do make a lot of it, you'll thank me later. Or just buy it in a can, but making it yourself has all sorts of feel-good rewards.
My love for My Korean Kitchen will inevitably become your love too! Go to her blog and make all the things. Just make everything.

KOREAN RECIPES: SPONGE CREAM FRUIT CAKE
Korean Recipe & Photo by: From Scratch Mostly
Korean cake!
Go ahead, look around Pinterest for a second and see how many Korean cakes you find; Korean cake recipes are a rarity! This Korean cake recipe is a gem!
Yes, you are right, Korean food is more along the lines of savory than sweet for the most part in terms of what people think of when they envision Korean food.
But… Korean desserts do exist, and they can be oh so lovely and oh so yummy and oh so light and delicate that you'll probably be convinced they gotta be good for you! At a food-that-makes-me-happy-is-good-for-my-soul type of level of goodness!
For every birthday I encountered in Korean culture, there was cake, and it was this type of cake.
The markers of a Korean cake from my experience are light (not heavy), layered (some are one, but many are more), and creamy (the non-cake part is closer to whip cream than to icing). Often there is fruit involved.
This luscious Korean dessert recipe in cake form comes to use from the brilliance of From Scratch Mostly. If you haven't bookmarked her blog yet with a name of something like “Amazing Food & Writing” or “Blogs I Love” or “Bloggers I Dream of Meeting One Day” then here's your chance. Seriously, I mean she's given us Korean cake!
There we have it, amazing Korean food ideas from 73 Korean recipes for you to make yourself, in your own home, straight out of your own kitchen!
Korean food is a beautiful mixture of ancient tradition and constant invention. If you are looking to have some fun in your kitchen, wanna try healthy meal ideas, are thinking of adding an element of side dish options to your next gathering, or are looking for something new to make, Korean recipes might be your best plan for this week's cooking!
And if you're making Korean food plans I hope you grab the FREE cherry blossom meal planner I created for you (that pink box in-between recipes #52 and #53)! I fell in love with cherry blossoms while living in South Korea, so that's where my cherry blossom meal planner pack inspiration comes from!
If you decide you love Korean food after reading this Korean recipe list, start following any of the Korean food blogs that you now know about, or feel even a little bit more interested in giving Korean cooking a try in your own kitchen, that is so super exciting for me!
I hope you make some fantastic Korean recipes you love, and that make you fall more in love with cooking in your kitchen!
Cheers/Geonbae!

A whole lemon, eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla are all that get pulsed together until you’ve got a finely blended mixture that’s nice and smooth, with the perfect amount of graininess from the fresh lemon; it adds both texture and flavor, and makes the whole pie extra tasty. If it’s taking a minute for this info to compute – is it really this easy to make a pie?? – don’t worry, we were in the same boat. And yes, it actually is this easy to make this refreshing lemon pie.
So, check your fridge, freezer and pantry, since you’ve probably already got all the ingredients you need for this, dust off your blender, and get going. Whether you use a store-bought pie crust or you make one from scratch, rest easy knowing the filling comes together in literally 45 seconds, then all you have to do is pop the pie in the oven and bake it until the center is just set. We like to chill it so that it sets beautifully and you get clearly defined slices, but if you can’t wait that long, we get it. Get some sweetness in your life and make this pie this week!
