[New Korean Cuisine Made Simple] Jang Tteok & Kimchi Jjim

Korean Cultural Center New York is excited to present an Online Korean cuisine cooking video series as part of our Korean food culture education programming! Cooking demonstration videos will be launched each month for 6 total episodes that feature easy-to-follow recipes at home using Korean ingredients, sharing cooking techniques step-by-step for specially created recipes through our website.

Chef Jae Jung is from Korea and Chef Jaume Biarnes from Spain. The two chefs will demonstrate how everyone can cook simply at home using Korean seasonal ingredients with techniques that everyone can try! You’ll be amazed at how we can all make dishes that can be enjoyed at Michelin-starred restaurants with ingredients that you can find from local markets.

For Part 6, Chef Jae shares her cooking techniques and recipes that she has built from professional kitchens for over 10 years and demonstrates how to utilize Korean flavors and apply them to American home kitchens. She demonstrates how to make traditional dishes.  

The first dish is Jang Tteok, savory pancakes that differs slightly depending on the region it is from, including ingredients used and the method of making them. But, they have a commonality that soybean paste or red pepper paste is added for the flavors, and that they are cooked in oil.

The second dish is Kimchi Jjim. Chef Jae used one-year-old kimchi, which her mother made, with pork belly. The sour taste of the old kimchi and the fat of the pork balance each other, and the resulting rich and savory, but still light, flavors will delight your mouth. You’ll learn how to elevate flavors at your dinner table and make it special by using unique spices and ingredients.

“As cooking is an art of life and food is the energy of our body, thoughts, and actions, many people know the importance of cooking and want to enjoy it.  Food is a universal language that brings people together. Discover the wonderful Korean flavors, spice up your kitchen, and share the special moments with your loved ones.  Eating becomes a precious memory.”  - Chef Jae Jung
