Korean recipes and photos and stories from all of you!  [View in browser](   [[]   My November letter for you!  Montauk vibes! Listening to the wild waves of the ocean and enjoying delicious foods that I made in Montauk has become my annual routine. It takes only a few hours to get there from NYC. Whenever I see the ocean, I feel very welcomed and makes my heart warm.  I filmed a few videos there. You will see them soon!    [New Recipe:]([Â]([Buchu-japchae!](  Buchu-japchae is Asian chives stir-fried with meat and vegetables. Remember my [Kkotppang (Steamed flower-shaped buns)]( from last month? These 2 dishes go together like a bolt and nut!   [Make Buchu-japchae!](   [New Recipe:Â]( [Stir-fried dried anchovies and peanuts](  Have you ever seen this side dish served in a Korean restaurant? Here you go! You can make it at home now. It tastes sweet, crunchy, and nutty! Of course you can replace peanuts with your other favorite nuts, too. In Korean it's called [myeolchi-ttangkong-bokkeum](.  Some of you may be freaked out: "Oh my god! I see their eyes!" Don't worry and chew them gently! You will be surprised how crunchy and nutty they are, just like a snack. : )   [My recipe and video!](   Buchu-japchae and Braised Tofu Made by PRANIL  My reader PRANIL made buchu japchae and dubu-jorim and [posted the photo on his twitter](. He said, "I'm going to be eating well for the next few days!" He must be great at cooking! They look perfect! The tofu dish recipe is[here](!   [Make spicy tofu](   Precious Homegrown Peppers Turned into Korean Pickles!  [Check out these gorgeous colorful peppers grown by my reader TxSioux in Texas](! She's going to make [gochu-jangajji, Korean-style pepper pickles](. She said: "We have a variety of peppers in the garden. I’m going to try this recipe with different types and see what happens."  They look so beautiful and colorful! I've never seen any gochu-jangajji made with such colorful species of peppers. I learn something from my readers every day! I'm so curious to see and taste the final pickles!   [Make Korean pickles at home!](    Korean Food Party by ShayDougie  ShayDougie in Virginia made these awesome-looking Korean dishes for their dinner party! [She said:](  "My husband and I began watching your videos about a year ago. Since then we have made many of your recipes, and love cooking the meals together! This weekend, we had the chance to cook a meal for our vegetarian friends who have never tried Korean food before – it was a success! We made the [spicy tofu](, [spinach]( and [bok choy side dishes](, [baby potatoes](, [kimchi pancakes](, and [rice](, of course! Thank you for teaching us about Korean food and explaining how to cook so well. Looking forward to learning more…see you next tiiime, byeee! :-)" What do you think? I think they are wonderful cooks! They can even plan the menu for their vegetarian friends! I was so happy not only see the photo but also their warm heart. This menu is perfect for vegetarians.   [Make bok choy muchim](   Making Kimchi is Fun!  [Kin Lau made this kimchi and posted on Instagram:]( "My babies!!!! Made nearly 2 gallons worth of kimchi with a 6 pounds Napa cabbage!" You call your kimchi jars your babies! Yes, I totally understand because lots of kimchi will make you comfortable, proud, and excited just like your loved ones.   [Make kimchi!](   The Doenjang Journey  It takes a long time to make [Korean fermented bean paste (doenjang) and soy sauce (ganjang)](. Christopher Bacon in Iowa has a good start with his meju blocks. [He says](: "Meju blocks are hung and some white mold is already forming. Yay! Now we wait 6 weeks for the next step." I give you good wish your meju blocks ferment nicely!   [You can make doenjang, too!](   Kimchi stew is perfect for the cold weather  [Jess says](: "Piping hot [kimchi-jjigae]( to kick these colds out! not only have we been sick, but the constant dreariness has been wearing on us. what better to comfort us than to make spicy stew???"  Yes, spicy, hot, and most of all delicious kimchi stew will conquer any small disease! Food is medicine! : )   [Make kimchi-jjigae](   Korean Cooking Party in Toronto!  [Michelle Swift's cookbook club in Toronto had a Korean cooking night from my cookbook!]( What a fun idea and all the dishes look awesome!    [Bibimbap](  Here's the bibimbap that Adelina in Colorado made! [She said](: "I have cooked this vegetarian version of bibimbab the other day, consisting of gaji namul , enoki mushrooms, tofu, bok choy, with a side of kimchi!" Wow looks delicious! And such a nice photo, too!   [Make bibimbap, too!](    See you on December 1st! : )  Can you see the moonrise in the photo?
