The Real Korean Cookbook

Hungry for Korean food but don't know where to start? This cookbook is perfect for anyone who wants to make Korean dishes at home but feels nervous about trying. Every recipe comes with easy-to-follow steps and uses ingredients you can find at most grocery stores.

From quick weeknight meals like the Lazy Dragon Bowl (ready in just 15 minutes!) to weekend projects like homemade kimchi, you'll find dishes that fit your schedule and cooking skills. The recipes are written in plain English, with helpful tips that make even complex dishes feel manageable.

Want to know the best part? Each recipe includes "Special Notes" with insider tricks - like how freezing meat for 30 minutes makes it easier to slice thin, or how adding a slice of American cheese to Army Base Stew makes it extra creamy. These are real cooking tips that Korean home cooks use every day.

You'll learn to make everyone's favorites: crispy Korean fried chicken, sweet and spicy beef bulgogi, soul-warming stews, and those addictive soy eggs you see at Korean convenience stores. There are quick rice bowls for busy days, party-ready dishes like Korean BBQ, and fun fusion foods like Korean-Mexican tacos.

The recipes use normal kitchen equipment - no fancy tools needed. And if you're worried about spice levels, don't be! Many dishes come with adjustable heat levels, so you can make them as mild or spicy as you like.
