Beombeok
During the early days of Korean cuisine, eating pork was discouraged. But Koreans have embraced their love of spicy food and developed iconic pork dishes. The mainstays of their cuisine include kimchi and gochujang. And since Korean ingredients are increasingly popular in mainstream markets, it is easier to get your hands on the ingredients to try out these recipes.
Chimaek
Among the Korean food recipes is the dish called Chimaek, which is fried chicken combined with beer. This combination has become a very popular dish in South Korea. The combination has also spread to other parts of Asia. The word chimaek is a Korean portmanteau that combines the English word chicken with the Korean word maekju for beer.
Jjajangmyeon
Originally from China, this dish is popular in Korea and is considered a quick pick-me-up. Jajangmyeon is often served with thinly sliced cucumbers and a fried egg. It is often served on Black Day, which is a celebration of shared loneliness.
It is made with black bean paste and vegetables. There are two varieties of black bean paste. There are boggeumjjajang and doenjang. Generally, boggeumjjajang is made with black bean paste and caramel sauce, while doenjang is made with black bean paste and stock.
Kimchi stew with pork and tofu
Often considered one of the most popular stews in Korean cuisine, kimchi stew is a dish that is beloved by both children and adults. This spicy and savory stew is made with pork and tofu and is rich in both flavor and aroma.

Traditionally, Dongnae pajeon is made with rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and beef. In some recipes, clams, oysters, and other seafood are added.
Dongnae pajeon is usually served with a dipping sauce. The sauce is usually a red pepper paste mixed with vinegar. However, it can also be made with anchovy soup.
Chaomamian
Bibim-naengmyeon is a Korean food recipe that is served with chili-based sauce. It is the same as bibim-naengmyeon noodles, but noodles are mixed with chili-based sauce, making them spicy and refreshing. This dish is delicious with rice.

During a recent visit to David Chang’s restaurant, Momofuku in New York City, I was delighted to learn how to make one of his signature dishes. The Momofuku Bo Ssam is a slow roasted pork roast that is dry cured and finished with a brown sugar crust.
