KOREAN MADE EASY
Bibimbap. Korean Fried Chicken. Kimchi. There’s no doubt Korean food is delicious – made up of bold flavours and comforting dishes – but many people unfairly assume it’s too difficult to cook at home.
In Korean Made Easy, Seji Hong demonstrates the simplicity of the country’s cuisine and reveals how to create some of its best-loved dishes by mix and matching just seven store cupboard ingredients: Gochujang, Doenjang, Ganjang (Soy sauce), Rice, Sesame oil, Fish sauce and Gochugaru, along with a few extras that can easily be found in supermarkets.
All the recipes in this book are simple enough for kitchen novices but are also sure to excite more seasoned cooks, with classics including Beef Bulgolgi and Cold Spicy Noodles, as well as street-food favourites such as Tteokbokki, Gochujang Chicken Skewers and Korean Corn Dogs.
Seji Hong is Bombom’s founder, chief creator and menu developer. She hosted supper clubs in Wimbledon in 2019 before launching Bombom sauces in November 2021. Born in Seoul, Seji grew up in a modern Korean family that loved cooking and eating together. Dishes and memories such as Seji’s grandmother’s traditional food cooked with seasonal ingredients following the lunar calendar and her mum’s modern fusion Seoul food inspired Seji to develop a unique menu, incorporating three generations of Korean cooking, that also suit a western palate. Bombom sauces have scooped two stars in the highly regarded Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste Awards and have also featured in publications such as Vogue UK, BBC Good Food Magazine and Korean Airin-flight magazine.
