"finally a trending spot thats actually SO SO GOOD The Korean barbecue experience at Hanmiok is essentially dinner and a show. We got the Mi set which includes a brisket sushi appetizer then two main meat dishes plus one cold soup and one hot stew. We also ordered the Korean cold noodles (nangmyun) and corn pot rice The total for five of us was $XXX or $XX each. Not bad at all The quality of meat + presentation of cooking were two major STANDOUTS. Definitely recommend for your Korea itinerary #koreanbarbecue #kbbq #seoulkorea #visitkorea #koreatravel #gangnam #beefbrisket #sirloin"

"another easy DELICIOUS korean banchan recipe This one is called kongnamul muchim or korean soybean sprouts Youll find these often served at authentic korean restaurants as a free side dish and they are SO satisfying to make at home Plus theyre super healthy and nutritious with lots of fiber TIP: You can find these at any asian grocery store. If youre not going to cook with them asap store them in the fridge in cold water and theyll stay fresh for MUCH longer TIP: To save time you can skip the pruning step where you snap off the stringy roots. For me though Ive always seen it as the korean"

"my 5-minute fool-proof garlic bok choy recipe Its got ALL the right flavors while still being super easy to cook. Even beginners can make it well This recipe serves 2-4 people as a delicious side dish. I tested this recipe with baby bok choy regular bok choy and Shanghai bok choy. It works for all of them You MAY need to blanch regular bok choy (with the whiter stems) a few seconds longer than the Shanghai style though. Measurements for the sauce: X tsp soy sauce X tsp oyster sauce splash of sesame oil splash of water minced garlic to taste (2 cloves) #bokchoy #garlic #chinesefood #easyrecipe"

"the evolution of kimchi is SO COOL This Korean superfood is one of the most iconic parts of Korean culture and it all started with the need for salt and fermentation to survive Kimchi is delicious great for your skin and gut health and SO yummy although the smell of it can be a little daunting at first lol. Most people only know about baechu kimchi which is made with napa cabbage and fermented. But there are DOZENS of types of kimchi. I cover a few of the most common types here.

"Ive LOVED spinach since childhood and this korean banchan is why This recipe makes for the perfect side dish for X people and is easily customizable to your taste. It also lasts in the fridge for up to X days and is best served chilled TIP: This dish is traditionally made with regular spinach NOT baby spinach. However Ive tested both and to me its fine to use either. Baby spinach is MUCH easier to find in the store and may be more accessible so I based this recipe around that TIP: When deciding on your portion a good rule of thumb is one bag or box of spinach will serve one person"

"if you love omakase its time to graduate to kaiseki Its where authentic Japanese food SHINES Kaiseki is essentially Japanese fine dining in a tasting menu format. Its still focused on fish and seafood (so yes youll get your uni and toro lol) but its more cohesive and balanced and the chef gets to show a wider range of skills since the dishes vary beyond that of a typical omakase experience. At Asakura they have so many details worth mentioning About XX% of all ingredients are flown in directly form Japan and those that arent are sourced locally like at the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

"finally a trending spot thats actually SO SO GOOD The Korean barbecue experience at Hanmiok is essentially dinner and a show. We got the Mi set which includes a brisket sushi appetizer then two main meat dishes plus one cold soup and one hot stew. We also ordered the Korean cold noodles (nangmyun) and corn pot rice The total for five of us was $XXX or $XX each. Not bad at all The quality of meat + presentation of cooking were two major STANDOUTS. Definitely recommend for your Korea itinerary #koreanbarbecue #kbbq #seoulkorea #visitkorea #koreatravel #gangnam #beefbrisket #sirloin"

"another easy DELICIOUS korean banchan recipe This one is called kongnamul muchim or korean soybean sprouts Youll find these often served at authentic korean restaurants as a free side dish and they are SO satisfying to make at home Plus theyre super healthy and nutritious with lots of fiber TIP: You can find these at any asian grocery store. If youre not going to cook with them asap store them in the fridge in cold water and theyll stay fresh for MUCH longer TIP: To save time you can skip the pruning step where you snap off the stringy roots. For me though Ive always seen it as the korean"

"my 5-minute fool-proof garlic bok choy recipe Its got ALL the right flavors while still being super easy to cook. Even beginners can make it well This recipe serves 2-4 people as a delicious side dish. I tested this recipe with baby bok choy regular bok choy and Shanghai bok choy. It works for all of them You MAY need to blanch regular bok choy (with the whiter stems) a few seconds longer than the Shanghai style though. Measurements for the sauce: X tsp soy sauce X tsp oyster sauce splash of sesame oil splash of water minced garlic to taste (2 cloves) #bokchoy #garlic #chinesefood #easyrecipe"

"the evolution of kimchi is SO COOL This Korean superfood is one of the most iconic parts of Korean culture and it all started with the need for salt and fermentation to survive Kimchi is delicious great for your skin and gut health and SO yummy although the smell of it can be a little daunting at first lol. Most people only know about baechu kimchi which is made with napa cabbage and fermented. But there are DOZENS of types of kimchi. I cover a few of the most common types here.

"Ive LOVED spinach since childhood and this korean banchan is why This recipe makes for the perfect side dish for X people and is easily customizable to your taste. It also lasts in the fridge for up to X days and is best served chilled TIP: This dish is traditionally made with regular spinach NOT baby spinach. However Ive tested both and to me its fine to use either. Baby spinach is MUCH easier to find in the store and may be more accessible so I based this recipe around that TIP: When deciding on your portion a good rule of thumb is one bag or box of spinach will serve one person"

"if you love omakase its time to graduate to kaiseki Its where authentic Japanese food SHINES Kaiseki is essentially Japanese fine dining in a tasting menu format. Its still focused on fish and seafood (so yes youll get your uni and toro lol) but its more cohesive and balanced and the chef gets to show a wider range of skills since the dishes vary beyond that of a typical omakase experience. At Asakura they have so many details worth mentioning About XX% of all ingredients are flown in directly form Japan and those that arent are sourced locally like at the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

"the CUTEST Korean cooking class I made a tangerine meringue pie all from scratch in Jeju Island Korea Its the perfect activity for friends couples and families. Each person gets their own cooking station thats fully stocked with everything you need and you start by picking your own vegetables from their garden Its super cute because they go the extra mile to get you an apron a sun hat and a basket to really make the whole experience and theres a photographer taking pictures the whole time (see results at the end).

Theyre MICHELIN Bib Gourmand and both their dishes AND pastries are worth trying HIGHLY RECOMMEND the hong Kong style French toast and spicy wontons I also love the cheddar scallion biscuit pineapple bun and chicken and rice.

"why go to Nara when you can come here Miyajima Island is the perfect day trip in Hiroshima Japan You take a short ferry ride over and the main attraction is visiting Itsukushima shrine and the floating torii gate. Its truly a must see Plus Miyajima Island is one of Japans three most scenic views. This is my second one checked off the list with my first being Amanohasidate a beautiful seaside town in Kyoto. There are wild deer EVERYWHERE in Miyajima and they are native to the island. They are very calm and friendly. Some must-dos for your itinerary: Itsukushima Shrine Floating Torii Gate"

The outdoor patios heated and dog friendly.
