Ad. An authentic Korean meal is never complete without banchan: the colorful side dishes that bring every feast to life. 🇰🇷✨ The Korean table is usually laid edge to edge with these small little plates…and, if you’re out to impress, the more the better! @ocadouk’s Korean aisle makes it so easy for you to get all the ingredients you need for your banchan, delivered straight to your door. The key is balance and the “rule of five”: every meal should have a mix of five flavours, textures, and colours. Here are some of the most common banchan you’ll find: 🥬 Kimchi — the must-have 🍚 Steamed short-grain rice 🍲 Soup (a staple of any Korean table) 🍳 Gyeran-jjim (fluffy egg souffle) 🌿 Fresh salads — scallion salad, green salad, crudités with ssamjang 🥒 Pickled veggies — radish, cucumber, lotus root & more 🥔 Korean potato salad (yes… it’s a thing!) 🐟 Grilled fish — croaker or mackerel are classics 🥞 Jeon — savoury pancakes 🥬 Seasoned vegetables — spinach, bean sprouts, etc. 🍖 Braised meats — soy-braised beef, and more 🐠 Dried fish & seafood And if you’re eating barbecue, you’ll also find lettuce leaves (ssam) for wrapping and our barbecue sauce, ssamjang on the table. #KoreanREcipes #Bulgogi #Banchan #KoreanBBQ #KoreanCuisine
Happy Giving Tuesday! 💚🍐 Proud to be partnering with @subarashiikudamono and @CityHarvestNYC to help nourish New Yorkers today and throughout the holiday season. City Harvest rescues more than 86 million pounds of nutritious food each year and delivers it directly to families who need it most — an extraordinary mission I’m honored to support. To help raise awareness, we shared boxes of Subarashii’s beautiful Asian Pears with chef friends, along with a small note about today’s campaign. This initiative will help Subarashii Kudamono nourish 2,300 New Yorkers for a day, a meaningful contribution to City Harvest’s work. I’m endlessly grateful for this community, for your friendship, generosity, and the joy you bring to the culinary world. Together, we nourish.

Ad. Crispy, cheesy, and a little bit sweet…this is Korean Street Toast, the ultimate breakfast of champions. 🍞✨ @ocadouk just launched a Korean aisle featuring some of my go-to ingredients, so I had to share this quick and comforting classic. 🇰🇷 A favourite grab-and-go breakfast in Korea since the 1980s, Korean Street Toast (gilgeori toast) began as a street-cart staple for students and commuters rushing to school or work. Cheap, fast, nourishing, and satisfying & still a nostalgic comfort food today, with long lines at Seoul cafés serving their own versions. 💛 Fluffy omelet, melted cheese, deli meats, and buttery milk bread & finished with a sprinkle of sugar to balance the savoury flavours. It sounds unusual, but that touch of sweetness is what makes it unforgettable. My secret weapon? Kewpie mayo, Japan’s iconic rich, tangy, and slightly sweet mayonnaise, and you can now find it on Ocado! Spread it on one slice, add ketchup on the other, and you’ve got the ultimate breakfast of champions. Quick to make, easy to love, and impossible to forget. 💛 60g packaged coleslaw mix or 40g white cabbage, thinly sliced and 20g carrot, peeled and julienned 2 spring onions, julienned 1 tbsp chopped parsley ½ tsp sea or kosher salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 large egg 3 tbsp salted butter, plus extra as needed 2 slices of white bread 1 tsp granulated sugar 1–2 slices mild Cheddar 2–4 slices cured ham 2–4 slices salami To Serve 1–2 tbsp ketchup 1–2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise ✨ Full recipe in my book K-Quick (which you can also find on Ocado!) Watch the video for the method and tag me if you try it at home! #KoreanFood #BreakfastSandwich #KoreanRecipes

Spent Easter cooking again for the Tottenham Hotspurs! I love cooking here— great kitchen and wonderful team under @regionallondonchef Mark Reynolds. . Menu highlights included a wild garlic pajeon with edamame hummus. Easter lamb braised in a ssamjang style sauce, kimchi fried rice topped with tofu and a wild garlic spring veggie salad. Desserts included our version of a chocopie, grape soju infused sultana hot cross bun donuts and pine nut carrot cake! Happy Easter and COYS! . I wish I had more pictures! We also did a canapé plate of kalbi skewers, doenjang wild mushroom cones, and shrimp/broccoli mandu. . @chefandrewhales @seoulbirduk #judyjoo #chefsofinstagram #cheflife #chefs #korea #koreanfood #chef #korean #london @chefbencrocker @hm_son7 @tottenhamhotspurstadium @spursofficial
When the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak @rishisunakmp gives you a shoutout… 😳 A couple years ago, my team and I had the honor of cooking at No. 10 Downing Street during the Korean state visit — we gave British classics a bold Korean makeover with gochujang, ssamjang, and of course, kimchi 🇰🇷🇬🇧 To hear Rishi Sunak mention it at the Asian Leadership Conference — and say his daughters still talk about the food — is beyond humbling. That’s the magic of sharing culture through food…. food diplomacy! Massive thanks to the incredible team who made it all happen 💛 @chefandrewhales @seoulbirduk @mosimanns @philipp_mosimann 🎥: Former PM Rishi Sunak at #ALC2025 #JudyJoo #KoreanFood #BritishKorean #FusionFood #10DowningStreet #AsianLeadershipConference #WomenInFood #CulturalCuisine #ChefLife

The growing popularity of Korean fried chicken reflects a greater familiarity with Korean culture. But its origins can be traced to an American cookbook dating back to when African American soldiers fought in the Korean War. Nancy Giles talks with chef @judyjoochef, co-creator of @seoulbirduk, and Suzie Tsai, CEO of the chain Bonchon, about food that has come full-circle.
