A beginner's guide to Korean cooking

Banchan energy, gochujang, and why rice is not optional.

Korean home cooking is not one chilli paste. It is rice, soup or stew, a few small sides, and a main that might be as simple as an egg.

Start with kimchi jjigae or bibimbap from this kitchen. Learn gochujang as a seasoning, not a personality.

We will not flatten regional Korean food into 'K-food'. These pages are a doorway.

Before you start cooking

Your pantry, saved recipes and meal plans are stored on this device so the site works — that part can't be switched off. Google Analytics counts page visits so we can see what people open. Separately, we can count anonymous feature usage in our own database. That part is your call, and it stays off unless you say yes.
