Seriously Asian: Perilla Leaves
If you live in an area with a big Asian community then you've probably seen little old Asian ladies hawking produce on the side of the road. They stand out in the hot sun selling produce at very cheap prices, and they are there day after day. Right now the Korean ladies are selling stacks of perilla leaves, though if you go to any Korean grocery store, you'll see them being sold as sesame leaves. I don't understand why they refer to perilla leaves as sesame leaves, but they do.Los Angeles: 8 Free Banchan Spreads We Love
Banchan, the small plates that accompany many Korean meals, complement, contrast, or accentuate the flavors of the main dish, putting out the flames of a particularly fiery spicy kimchi stew or adding a potent kick to a soothing bowl of jeonbokjuk, abalone porridge. And perhaps nowhere else in the U.S. are these side dishes better displayed than in K-Town in Los Angeles. Here are our favorites, depending on what your banchan priorities are.Snapshots from Germany: Imbiss, or German Street Food, Explained
Imbiss is a general German term for small food stand or street food shop, usually tiny and locally run (often a family operation). There are thousands of imbisses around Berlin, serving everything from the standard currywurst, pizza, or döner kebab to the more exotic such as Nepali vegetarian dishes, Russian red beat soups, Copenhagen-style hot dogs, and Korean food.Scallion Pancakes + Cheddar Cheese = Awesome
It was a pretty natural jump to create this quick mashup when I was rummaging through my fridge and found a whole slew of leftover scallions from my scallion pancake testing, along with a block of extra-sharp cheddar.Seriously Asian: Anchovy Stock
Anchovy stock is the Korean counterpart to Japanese dashi. Instead of bonito flakes, anchovies are used as the base for a fish stock that is every bit as savory and packed with umami, only even fishier in flavor given the nature of anchovies.Taste Test: Cabbage Kimchi
How do all the kimchi brands compare? The only way to find out: taste them all, and risk infusing the SEHQ air with that unmistakable kimchi aroma. We tried five national cabbage kimchi brands and five brands that are locally produced in NYC. Find out how they all did!Seriously Asian: Korean Meat Marinades
Whenever I go out for Korean barbecue—the style of cooking where your meat is grilled tableside beneath giant exhaust vents—I always wish the marinated meats were less sweet and much spicier. Bulgogi, in particular, is usually too sweet. Here are marinades you can make at home with pear juice, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, mirin, and if you want a spicy kick, add gochujang too.Cook the Book: Quick and Easy Korean Cooking
I was looking for an accessible cookbook, one that would explain the basic techniques of Korean cooking for first-timers without dumbing down any of its signature big flavors—Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee's Quick and Easy Korean Cooking wound up being just that book. Grocery lists and ingredients glossaries are there to educate beginners in the ways of doenjang and gouchujang. Enter to win a copy here.A Sandwich a Day: The Bulgogi Hoagie at Broadway Cafe in Ann Arbor, MI
If Caroline's recent discovery of a very similar sandwich (minus the all-important American cheese!) in New Jersey is any indicator, perhaps this Korean hoagie trend really is taking off.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
