Chicken Bulgogi that is not spicy and juicy. Try this for your BBQ this Spring!

Chicken Bulgogi is often made with a spicy marinade which means gochujang is involved. The flavors are pretty similar to Pork Bulgogi. Recently, I was asked to develop a non-spicy version for a client and it came out so yummy and easy, I decided to share that with you here. For this recipe, you do NOT need any fresh ingredients except for the chicken. This Chicken Bulgogi marinade can totally be made from pantry items so it would be a great recipe to have for days when you are low on fresh grocery items like fresh garlic, onions, etc. 

Here I served with some rice and beautiful Chrysanthemum tea which is my most favorite to have with Korean food.

I don't know why I never wrote a separate post just on Kalbi. I wrote a Summer BBQ Party post some time ago and shared a Kalbi recipe there but I just don't have a good explanation why I never posted a stand alone one. In addition to the fact that this post has my latest recipe for Kalbi that uses red wine instead of rice wine and onions instead of kiwi, I will also show you how to grill Kalbi in the oven using the broiler, in case you don't want to grill on a real BBQ.

Kalbi memories?? Haha.. Yes....Grilling Kalbi outside in our backyard or at our farm in Icheon...  was probably one of the happiest moments of my childhood. You know me, happiness is ALWAYS linked with food.. HAHAHA..

Korean Potato Salad or Gamja Salad (감자 샐러드 or 사라다) is, yes, not a classic traditional Korean dish but as long as I can remember it was part of Korean cuisine. Perhaps it was introduced to Koreans via the US Army base after they settled in Korea after the war... but it's just something that Koreans love to have - as a side dish but also in a sandwich (although it's done a little bit differently for that) as Gamja Salad Sandwich.

When I think of this dish, my memories take me back to my college days. At Ewha Womans University where I attended college, we had a huge cafeteria and their menu changed daily and I was not a huge fan of their food (as it usually goes with any college cafeteria.. haha) but if there was one thing that took me and my friends back to the cafeteria almost every day was their Gamja Salad!!!

Can you believe it?? 😂🤣My friends and I used to say..

"Hmm..just not sure what they put in the salad but it's like I am addicted to it!!"

Jeonju Restaurant - Hanokjip

Jeonju Day 2 - After a somewhat disappointing dinner at Hanok village Jeonju the day before, we were determined to eat some great local Jeonju food for lunch before we drove back up to Seoul. And we found this awesome Charcoal Grilled Pork Ribs (숯불돼지갈비 Sutbul Dweji Kalbi) restaurant called Hanokjip (한옥집 - 67 Samgeo 1-gil, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do) that totally made up for all our disappointments!!

BTW, Hanok means traditional Korean style home and this Hanokjip restaurant is famous for their pork ribs that come sizzling on a HOT stone plate with onions and whole garlic cloves cooking altogether in the plate.

Miso Pork Belly! This is one of the recipes I was asked to develop for my recent recipe project and at first, I have to confess I was kind of lost. I have had Grilled Miso Salmon at restaurants and loved it it but I wasn't sure how miso would work on pork belly. But this miso pork belly marinade turned out so delicious that I decided I had to write a post on it - even though this is not a traditional Korean dish. BTW, don't worry, I am allowed to share the recipes with you. :)

Growing up, pork was one of my favorite meats. I loved boiled pork belly (삼겹살수육 Samgyeopsal Suyuk) with Naengmyeon, soy braised pork ribs (돼지갈비조림 Dweji Kalbi Jorim), pork bulgogi (돼지불고기 Dweji Bulgogi) and I also loved Tonkatsu. ❤️  😍

But after marrying my husband, eating pork at home was not at all easy because he is somewhat allergic to it. His reaction to pork is pretty interesting - his nose gets totally stuffy, eyes become red and itchy and he says his chest feels cold.. basically his body is not happy. Now, according to Korean traditional medicine, pork is a COLD food and my husband was diagnosed to having a COLD body so eating COLD foods kind of makes him sick.
