If you grew up in a Korean household, chances are you ate miyeokguk on your birthday. Korean moms typically will make this "Birthday Soup" for their children to celebrate. This is because Korean moms will eat tons of this soup after giving birth! They say that miyeokguk is good for breast milk production, and healing from delivery. I can tell you from experience that miyeokguk was a soothing meal after delivering a baby! I wish I had an Instant Pot after delivering my kids,

One of my favorite meals to order at a Korean restaurant is Kalbi Tang. The key to a good Kalbi Tang is a wonderfully smooth clean tasting beef broth. The short ribs should be fall off the bone, and you will love the taste of this hearty soup! This recipe normally takes about 2 hours over the stove to to make, but the Instant Pot cuts that time in half! Plus I don't have to babysit the stove which incredibly valuable time I can spend watching my kids instead! Quick Notes: ⏲ ~

Bossam, or Korean style Boiled Pork Belly, is a wonderful dish that typically is served with a spicy radish side dish (musaechae) and pickled cabbage wraps. This is not easy to find in Korean restaurants because it normally would take about 2 hrs on the stove top. For that reason most of the time this dish served cold, which it still is delicious, but my preference is to eat this dish warm! The Instant Pot makes it super easy to make this dish at home, in under an hour! While

Kalbi-jjim, or Korean style short rib, always reminds me of the holidays. My mother knows this is my favorite dish, and would make this for special occasions. This dish normally takes hours on the stove to create succulent, tender beef that falls off the bone. The Instant Pot cuts that time down to under an hour cooking time! If you do not own an Instant Pot, here is my stove top version of the recipe. Quick Notes: ⏲ About 1 hr 🇰🇷 Some ingredients may need to be bought at a

"What is an Instant Pot?" I get asked this question a lot lately. I asked my husband to buy me one for my Valentine's day gift this year, and I have fallen in love! Why you ask? There are many reasons why, but of course the main reason is because it makes cooking easier! What busy mom doesn't love quick one pot meals, that taste delicious, with minimal clean up? I initially bought an Instant Pot to experiment with certain Korean foods, but I have certainly branched to other

Summer is here, so that means trips to the beach, day camps, watermelon, and more importantly, picnics! And one of my favorite foods to bring to a picnic is a crowd-pleasing rack of baby back ribs. Who doesn't love delicious fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs? I especially love them Korean style with a soy-garlic sauce. This recipe details how to make these ribs using an Instant Pot, however it is easily converted to stove pot if you don't have one yet. For the video above I de

I am excited to share my first Instant Pot recipe! I recently bought an Instant Pot on Amazon, and I am in love. I never imagined that cooking delicious foods would be so quick and easy! It is so nice to prepare the food in the Instant pot, then walk away without watching the stove, and a short time later, the food is done! This is my Dak-jjim recipe, or Korean braised chicken stew, which I have adjusted for the Instant Pot. I will be sharing my stove top version of this reci
