I have a tradition of making food native to the country where the Olympics are being held. I usually do this on the opening night. Nothing major, not a huge feast or anything, it's just something fun I do. For instance, when the winter Olympics were in Russia, I made a potato dish and Russian teacakes. I have no idea what to make tonight. I looked up some S. Korean recipes, and for the most part, I can't imagine my husband and son eating any of them. LOL I did find this, and I think I will try it. www.dramafever.com/news/how-to-make-sweet-korean-pancakes-hotteok/Anything else you all can recommend? My husband is not a big vegetable eater, so keep that in mind. Maybe I will just have to make a normal dinner and a S. Korean dessert.  |

Bibimbap. Its basically meat, rice, and veggies.

HelenaJole as she is an expert. I make yakiniku beef which is Korean BBQ beef with a dipping sauce. I don't remember how to say it in Korean bulgolgi maybe?

This sounds like so much fun. Korean Fried Cauliflower is the bomb and deep frying it makes it not taste like a vegetable. Soba noodles, Korean Barbecue. We used to go to Yardbird, the place that's mentioned in the article, all the time and it's their signature dish. Use garlic, fresh ginger, sesame oil, sweet chili paste. If you have an Asian grocery (our little, tiny town has two, Yay!) go ask them for ideas. Make everybody eat with chopsticks. I'm not a kimchi fan, but a lot of people like it. Serve it all with jasmine rice, because it has to be sticky to eat it with chopsticks. |

Does your family like teriyaki? If so, bulgogi is a Korean dish that is similar to teriyaki and really delicious. You can google the recipe but it is super easy to make (soy sauce, sugar, garlic etc). Serve with steamed rice.
When I think of Korean food I always think of Kimchee which is fermented cabbage. If you can find a small jar, it might be fun to try in the spirit of trying something truly Korean.

Definitely bulgogi. We lived there for 2 years and our housekeeper made it at least once a week.
The Pioneer Woman makes Beef and Snow Peas, which is an Americanized version. I add matchstick carrots for more veggies and because that’s how she made it. Serve over rice (an obvious choice!)
Kimchi is a very definite flavor. You can buy it at many grocery stores. Try to find a cucumber variety—they are a bit less eye watering.

Check out the YouTube channel for Maangchi. She has bunches of recipes. Perhaps the beef short ribs?

If asked our favourite type of food, at least 3/4 of our family would answer Korean. Bulgogi, bibimbap, and short-ribs. If you were here, you could go to Koreatown and pick up some red bean walnut cakes. YUM!

Hotteok is a good choice. Do you have any grocery stores in your area that would carry Korean foods? I might be able to make some other suggestions. Or hey, just boil some ramen and eat it with chopsticks. If you do something like bulgogi, get some green leaf lettuce to wrap it up in when you eat it. I've never even seen cauliflower in Korea. |

Bulgogi, Chap Chae, and Mandu! Yum!! Chap Chae sounds amazing! I was thinking my husband would eat that because he will eat carrots, peppers and mushrooms, then I got to the sweet potato noodles. LOL Again, that sounds like something to make for me. |

There are a lot of accessible Korean dishes. Kimbap is essentially Korean sushi and many of the variations are fully cooked if you are squeamish about raw fish. Our Costco has bulgogi in the meat section and short ribs in the prepared food section. It might be a regional thing because we also have 2 Korean supermarkets and a dozen restaurants in our little valley part Los Angeles, not to be confused with Koreatown. SaveSave |

A friend of mine’s family has a Korean restaurant and Mandu were always our absolute favorite. Theirs had mostly ground pork in them but you can make them with vegetables too or without. Whatever you prefer. This recipe is the closest I could find. They are delicious! www.thedailymeal.com/recipes/mandu-korean-dumplings-recipe |

I don't ever remember seeing it to be eaten.. But I bet it would make yum kimchi! I do remember seeing colored ornamental cauli's in planters in big cities. I remember thinking that was sooooo strange and wondering if it was dyed or grew like that! |

Cheesy ramen with a little red pepper paste added... heaven! I used to get huge take out containers of it for less than $3 (1997)
I wish I knew what kind of cheese that was they added. I just add a square of Kraft when I'm craving it.

We're going to have Korean Tacos for dinner tonight while watching the opening ceremony. I know it is more fusion than traditional Korean food, but they are so, so good. Hello Fresh Sesame Beef Tacos

We have this tradition as well. I made ours last night: www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/korean-beef-and-riceProbably not authentic in the slightest, but hey, it had Korean in the name so that works for me. We ended up adding some peppers and mushrooms to it as well. |

Bulgogi is the first thing that popped into my head. I usually cheat and buy a pre-packed and already marinated bulgogi (from Aldi or Costco, I can't remember which). This Korean Beef recipe is a very quick and easy recipe that is super popular on Pinterest and I've seen numerous people here on 2 Peas post it. |

I have Bulgogi simmering on the stove, along with a recipe for Korean Glass noodles, minus the sweet potato noodles. (Substituted regular noodles for my picky eaters!) Everything smells so delicious! Thanks to all of you for your suggestions! I have other recipes I am going to try tomorrow and Sunday. |
