The unique and spicy flavours of Korean cuisine...

SERVES: 4

Until recently Korean food was something of a mystery to the western world but it’s now on everyone’s list of ‘must eats’. The Korean chilli flake (gochugaru) appears in many of the dishes - they have a lovely, sweet and slightly smoky flavour with just a touch of heat.

To begin, we’ve got kimchi pancakes (buchimgae) served with two of Korea’s favourite dipping sauces - the first (known as ssamjang) is tangy and spicy and the second (known as choganjang) is sweet, salty and gingery. For the main event we’ve got a comforting chicken stew served with sticky rice and a quick version of kimchi, the ubiquitous fermented cabbage dish.

Delicious Korean food - just like my Korean friend makes! I fermented the kimchi overnight on the radiator for a more authentic taste.

We'll have to try that technique! so glad you enjoyed it!

Many more interesting flavours than expected. The kimchi was so simple and delicious, despite not being able to get Chineses cabbage - we used basic cabbage. The chilli sauce was quick and delicious. We’d definitely make this again

Great! Happy spicing!

Went down very well with the family even those who were looking very dubious when I was making the Kimchi and Pickles. Every little bit finished!

Looks like everyone is really enjoying the meal and we love the brilliant blue shirt- very Spicery!
