Buchimgae ~ Korean Stew with Kimchi Slaw

The unique and spicy flavours of Korean cuisine...

More info

Until recently, Korean food was something of a mystery to the western world, but it’s now on everyone’s list of ‘must eats’. The Korean chilli flake (gochugaru) appears in many of the dishes - it has a lovely, sweet and slightly smoky flavour with just a touch of heat. To begin, we’ve got savoury pancakes (known as buchimgae) served with two of Korea’s favourite dipping sauces - the first (ssamjang) is tangy and spicy, and the second (choganjang) is sweet, salty and gingery. For the main event we’ve got a comforting chicken stew served with sticky rice and a quick slaw version of kimchi, the ubiquitous fermented cabbage dish.
