If You Cannot Physically Be At the Winter Olympics in South Korea, You Can Still Enjoy and Prepare Korean Dishes With the Kids and For Your Family
We are well into the first full week of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. While watching the athletes compete, I cannot help but think about my recent discovery and love for Korean food and how I now enjoy preparing Korean dishes at home.
I searched and found The Spruce has curated 10 easy-to-make Korean recipes you can make for the family and/or with the kids! Here are the four I think I will try:
Korean Rolled Egg Omelette (Gaeran Mari)
You only need 10 minutes to make this beautiful dish. You could enjoy a Korean rolled egg omelette for breakfast, as part of a bento lunch, or for dinner. You can vary the vegetables and even add some ham or other meat.
Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokumbap)
Making kimchi fried rice is a great way to use leftover kimchi that’s a bit past its prime, as well as leftover rice. You can make it with Canadian bacon or thinly sliced beef, pork, ham, or even Spam. Or, use tofu for a vegetarian protein.
Spicy Kimchi Stew (Kimchi Jjigae, Kimchichigae)
This popular Korean stew can be whipped up in just 35 minutes. It’s another great use for older kimchi as that will lend more rich flavor. There is a lot of room for variation in this dish. You can use beef, pork, or canned tuna, and vegetables including potatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms. It can be a go-to meal to clean out the refrigerator.
Korean Seasoned Spinach (Sigumchi Namul)
You only need 15 minutes to make this side dish of Korean seasoned spinach. It can also be used as part of other well-known main dishes in Korea such as chapchae (stir-fried noodles), kimbap (rice and seaweed rolls), and bibimbap (rice with mixed vegetables).
