I’ve shared an oxtail soup before but today I fancied something a little more spicy!Galbi tang is made from usually short rib, boiled for a few hours until you get a nice bone broth and super soft meat. The simplest way it is served is…
I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks to make this bloody soup but the heat hit and it was the last thing on my mind.This was one of my faves growing up and I’d always request this from my mum.I asked her for the recipe. Of…
If you ever go to Korea and want to get a Chinese takeaway, this delicious dish would be on the menu. Korea has very specific Chinese takeaway dishes that I’ve not seen anywhere else. Those include Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup)…

It’s been quite gloomy lately, so I wanted to brighten up my food at least! This is a super simple noodle soup recipe often eaten for celebration. You can add beef to this but I kept it meat free as I don’t think it needs…
