Snowman Rice Balls (Jumeokbap) for Christmas!

JinJoo — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 18:03:58 +0000

[caption id="attachment_10553" align="aligncenter" width="833"] Snowman Rice Balls Christmas Treats[/caption]

Snowman Rice Balls?? Yes, it's you favorite Jumeokbap (주먹밥) in the shape of a snowman! I love making snowman in the winter, don't you? I love living in California but I do miss the snow here during the holiday time. I know this is a pretty last minute Christmas recipe idea but better late than never, right? And these rice balls really don't need a lot of time or special ingredients so hopefully it's something you can whip up, even if it's last minute. It would be great as a rice substitute for dinner or even as a snack for your children during your Christmas holidays! And you can have some fun making these with your little ones.

For a while now, I have been trying to come up with something fun to cook for Christmas or the holidays. I have searched through all my Korean cookbooks for dessert ideas but as you know there are no special Christmas foods in the Korean cuisine. So.. instead of desserts, I decided to make these cute Snowman Rice Balls (Jumeokbap)!! ⛄️ ❄️ ⛄️ The great thing about these special Snowman holiday theme rice treats is that it's actually not high calorie or too sweet but something that you can eat with your everyday meal. I'm sure you can make even more cute designs than mine here but not too bad, right? haha

The stuffing for these snowman rice balls were taken from my Jumeokbap post so please check that recipe on how to make the spam and ground beef stuffing. Although I have not included in this recipe, you can also stuff the rice balls with tuna+mayo, chopped kimchi, sauteed anchovies (myeolchi bokkeum), salmon flakes.. the possibilities are endless.

This post is a first for me in that I am asking you to watch the video for the details of how it is done rather than read my detailed recipe because trying to explain how you make the snowman would be way too hard to do with just words and pictures.

Pressure Cooker Jangjorim (Soy Braised Beef) with Eggs

JinJoo — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 17:31:05 +0000

This Pressure Cooker Jangjorim is an adapted recipe of my classic Korean soy-braised beef side dish that's delicious warm or cold and perfect for dosirak (lunchboxes). This recipe is so simple yet just as tasty as the regular recipe.

[caption id="attachment_15970" align="aligncenter" width="683"] Pressure Cooker Jangjorim (Korean Soy Braised Beef)[/caption]

Jangjorim has always been my favorite side dish in my lunchboxes as a kid in Korea but now, in this time of SIP, this pressure cooker Jangjorim has become a staple menu item. Having to come up with menu ideas every day, this salty, sweet and savory beef banchan has been a lifesaver for me and my family.

We often make rice bowls with it - with some egg and sometimes even butter added on top! YUM!! It's great for breakfast or lunch when you really don't want to cook something. You can also make bibim noodles with it - just add some sesame oil, sesame seeds and some green onions..

So these days, I make Janjgorim in big batches in my Instant Pot (here's my stovetop version) and store it in my kimchi fridge for longer storage. In addition to the fact that you can store this for days and that it's yummy just straight out of the fridge, it's a side dish that just keeps on giving.. haha.. you can do much more with it than just having it as banchan.
