Korean Ingredients in Depth

After my No Crazy Kimchi and Know Your Beef Cut posts, I realized that these kinds of informational posts on Korean ingredients for cooking are what I am good at. I do end up spending way too much time (about 1-2 weeks including research and writing) for these posts but when I think about how it could help someone navigate a foreign cuisine, it makes me happy. And it is quite satisfying when I hear comments like “You are doing the internet a service“. 🙂 

Now that I have more than a couple of these informational posts that discuss Korean Ingredients in depth and since I plan to write more, I am going to list them all here –

All about Kimchi (how to ripen, how to choose best ingredients, etc) –

  • No Crazy Kimchi (How to ripen Kimchi) – if you ripen properly, most kimchi will taste good
  • Kimjang Day : How it’s done 
  • Kimjang Day : Ingredients and Tips – choosing good ingredients very important in kimchi making
  • Kimchi : Tips on Brining – Koreans say that brining is the most difficult part of Kimchi

Korean Ingredients – Meat Cuts –

  • Know your beef cut  
  • Know your pork cut 
  • Basic Korean Pantry – a list of essential Korean Ingredients you should have in your pantry

Korean Vegetables 

  • Korean Lettuce Wraps (Ssam and Ssambap)- different vegetables used for Korean lettuce wraps

Korean Seasonings –

  • Korean Seasonings – A comprehensive list
  • Know your Soy Sauce (A buying guide)
  • Know your Doenjang (Korean Soy Bean paste)
  • How to make Gochujang at home

Nutritional Facts in my recipe cards are provided PER SERVING and it’s an estimate and may not be accurate. Due to different brands of ingredients having different nutritional values, the values I provide here may be different from your preparation.

– Gluten-Free recipe assumes you are using gluten-free soy sauce (since many soy sauces contain gluten or wheat) and/or gluten-free gochujang.

– MSG & Corn Syrup FREE – these are never used in my recipes
