Mom's Korean Food

My cousins are in town!  They are the daughters of my mom's youngest brother and we've not seen one of them for 16 years and the other since 6 years.  Mom cooked up a storm the first night they arrived!


Kalbi, Korean BBQ

Japchae, Korean Noodle Salad

Tempura of Shrimp and Vegetables

Stir fry of Peppers and Vegetables

Stuffed Peppers Fried in Egg Batter

Lotus Root with Chili and Sesame Oil

Salty Sweet Deep Fried Seaweed
These are so good.  It's just seaweed deep fried then tossed in sugar and salt.  

Regular Seaweed Toasted and Brushed with Sesame Oil
These are simple but so good when you wrap plain rice and eat it with kim chee.

Cucumber "Oie"  Kim Chee

Turnip "Moo" Kim Chee

Homemade Rice Cakes 
You can buy these from any Korean grocery store these days.  I don't think Korean people make this regularly but when they do, it's so Korean rustic and good.  My mom grows the herb that makes these so green.
