Kimchi & Couscous Pancake

Today, since we started this Kimchi themed recipe journey, we failed at this recipe.

The silver lining was that we finally figured out the right texture to bake it in a muffin tin.

So we will bring the Kimchi & Couscous mini muffins to the upcoming markets and festivals.

Fortunately, we did save some to make the normal pancake and it was simply delish! Here's the recipe.

Eggplant Namul

We finish our week with this complete homemade Korean meal table. This is one of the reasons why I named my company "The Table for Kimchi".
 

In Korea, we have countless side dishes, and Kimchi (a cabbage one) just make up for 1 of them.

This time it's an eggplant side dish! It's seasonal, it's healthy and tastes delicious.

Cucumber Kimchi

This is one hell of appetite raiser. During spring and summer in Korea, we believe that people start losing their appetite, hence affecting their stamina for heavy farm work.

So in order to maintain or regain the appetite, we have numerous vegetable dishes that are made freshly and eaten within 3 days.


The wisdom comes with what type of vegetables are suitable for this type of cooking and what type of vegetables are great for fermentation.

Cucumber, as it carries a lot water is not suited for making Kimchi and fermentation. (Pickling is different.)
Because the water will drown the micro organisms in fermentation process.

Jinju Kimchi JJigae

Homesickness, cured for the day!
 

There are already many Kimchi Jjigae recipes out there. And they are not so different from one another.

 

So I didn't follow instructions other than my mom's voice <3
 

The key is to have the right authentic well-aged Kimchi. The best kind would be older than 6 months to 2 or 3 year old.

Do you have them? Then let's go!
