Korean Comfort Foods & Something Sweet Glass Noodles with Beef and Vegetables (Jap Chae) Glass Noodles with Beef and Vegetables (Jap Chae) Made from sweet potato starch, these dense and chewy "glass" noodles easily absorb the sweet soy and sesame oil sauce. The seasoned transparent noodles are tossed with a variety of vegetables and meat in this Korean classic. Tofu and Clam Hot Pot (Sundubu Chigae) Tofu and Clam Hot Pot (Sundubu Chigae) The type of tofu used for this hot pot has a texture so smooth it is almost like custard. A spoon is used to scoop irregular chunks of tofu into the very spicy soup. It is sold in thick tube-shaped packaging in Asian grocers. We used soft or silken tofu that is available at any market. You will find this on the menu on almost every Korean restaurant menu. The clams cooked in the fiery broth add a briny component to the stock. This is the equivalent of Korean comfort food. Seafood and Green Onion Pancakes (Haemul Jeon) Seafood and Green Onion Pancakes (Haemul Jeon) Large pieces of shrimp and squid nestle between long threads of scallion, making this almost a meal on its own. The batter may appear thick at first but there is a fair amount of liquid that exudes from the seafood—do not add additional water. It takes a little practice to turn a large pancake. Feel free to make smaller ones until you get comfortable. These pancakes are best eaten hot but are delicious even at room temperature. Daikon Radish Kimchi (Kakdugi) Daikon Radish Kimchi(kakdugi) Daikon radish is the base for the easiest of all the Kimchi we made. The daikon is cut into cubes, mixed with the slightly bitter green leaves that top the vegetable, and sprinkled with salt and sugar. In just 2 hours they are all set for the Kimchi Paste. Grated apple sweetens the spicy mixture and in 1 day the crunchy pickles are ready to eat. If you can't find daikon with the greens attached, the kimchi is equally delicous without it.
