To everyone who left me such kind words with your comments and emails: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. They really did help and comfort me…You guys are the kimchi to my soul! ! >.<
On that note, today’s post is dedicated to all of you fabulous, sensational bloggers out there. Since I can’t physically invite all of you to my house, I’m inviting all of you virtually to my home for a cozy get-together and a traditional Korean meal…
First, welcome to my humble abode… 
This dining table is the spot where I blog each night. Just imagine a skinny Asian girl waving enthusiastically at you guys behind her Macbook, an English and Korean-English bible, her daily big mug of fresh-brewed coffee, and a big-ass container of roasted almonds to fatten her up… 
On the side is a lamp stand, and the red thing hanging off it has the Chinese characters, “Wan si lu yi” written on it, which means: “May all things turn out according to your will”.
On the back are two maps: 
Hello, America! 
And hello, China! (Remember, we are a missionary family to the Chinese people, hence the map of China) 
Above, are pictures of the first members of all churches my dad had founded: Singapore, America, Malaysia, and China…
Now that we’ve all settled down around the eensy weensy dining table, let me introduce to you the most obligatory Korean side dish in our kitchen: Spicy soybean sprouts (kongnamul).
Korean side dish: Spicy Soybean Sprouts
- about 5 cups fresh soybean sprouts
- 1 large onion, sliced
- handful coarse red pepper powder (preferably from a Korean store)
- dash of soy sauce
- drizzle of oil
- salt and pepper
Get a large pan, and dump all the sprouts in with the onions on top: 
Then sprinkle on the red pepper powder, the soy sauce, oil, salt and pepper, then cook for about 10-15 minutes until cooked through: 
This is what you’ll get: 
If you’ve ever been to a Korean restaurant, I’m sure this will look familiar. It’s actually not that spicy (to me) and really crunchy and flavorful. You can enjoy it either hot or cold. 
Now, what do we do with this soybean sprouts? Well, obviously you can just eat it with rice, but that’s so darn boring. Most of the time, we use these sprouts to make the most quintessential Korean dish ever, bibimbap.
Okay, let me tell you a secret to making bibimbap: There are NO rules. It is literally, “mixed rice” so you can put whatever you want to suit your own tastes. All you need is rice, and this mix-in sauce: 
Remember this amazing sauce? Gochujang! This is the miracle sauce to bibimbap!
But obviously, there are some items that work especially well in bibimbap, and one of them is the soybean sprouts. For today, we just grabbed whatever was leftover in our fridge: 
Mixed salad greens… 
Marinated beef… 
Sautéed mushrooms… 
Of course the soybean sprouts… 
A dollop of the lovely gochujang… 
And obviously rice (a blend of white, glutinous, and black rice)… 
Topped with a fried runny egg and torn toasted nori… 
Stick a spoon into the yolk… 
Mix it up well! 
And chomp down!
Well, I hope you all enjoyed the virtual meal…and now you don’t need to fork over $15 at a restaurant to enjoy a bowl of bibimbap! Seriously, this dish can be whipped up in a few minutes; it’s what we make when we are feeling lazy and have some leftovers in the fridge to clear up.
If you ever make your own version of this bibimbap, I’d love for you to share with me! Get creative!
P.S. My parents and I have reconciled. I think they got rather guilty afterwards because they were extra-nice to me today. Tee hee!
Question of the day: Have you ever gone to a Korean restaurant, or eaten a Korean dish? What did you order/eat? (If you didn’t enjoy it, that’s ok…I’m not so much of a Korean cuisine fan myself to tell you the truth)

I love having sprouts that way. So yummy.
Jill // July 5, 2009 at 8:09 pm |
sssslurp!…..burp! Thank you for the delicious meal! That looked great!
I’m glad to hear that you are having a better day:)
Faith // July 5, 2009 at 8:10 pm |
Glad to hear things are better with the fam! I’ve never had them, but wow, those sprouts look so good!
jiaying // July 5, 2009 at 8:14 pm |
i dont really like the blimbibap at foodcourts.. i think they give too little ingredients, too much rice and sauce. hmm and the noodles ive tried from there tastes like instand noodles. o_o
perhaps i should try it at somewhere other than food courts. :p
Maggie // July 5, 2009 at 8:18 pm |
I love almost all Korean food. Faves – jap chae and bibimbap (cold).
Linda // July 5, 2009 at 8:19 pm |
I’m a huge fan of Korean foods but I can’t recall any of the dish names, sorry.
Is this a traditional home meal or something you put together? I really like how everything is combined, from the salad to the beef, mushrooms, the egg, etc.
Jenny // July 5, 2009 at 8:26 pm |
your room is fabulous! and i am in love with it’s multicultural flair .. beautiful, girl!
Emily // July 5, 2009 at 8:28 pm |
Those sprouts look so good!
The hub and I met while we were in language school, and he was studying Korean. There was one particular Korean restaurant we always went to. My favorite part was the banchan (sp?). I was always content to fill up on the small dishes rather than order a proper entree (but of course I would anyway).
elra // July 5, 2009 at 8:28 pm |
Absolutely! My husband and I always go to our neighborhood Korean restaurant called The Tofu House, we go there once or twice a week. I especially love the bean sprouts like the one you made here. So, I’ll be making this pretty soon. Can you believe we’ve been come to this restaurant for so many years and never get bored yet. My husband order the same food, the spicy steaming hot tofu soup. I order different kind of soup or the bibimbap. We just love it!
Thank you for this sweet invitation to virtually visit your home dear. Take care & Wan si lu yi!

I love your blogging spot!
Yum! I used to go to this little place at home where they had Korean and Vietnamese food (the owners were a married couple, one from one place, one from another). I used to go there with my girls a few times a month (it was so grown-up and we got to dress up and drink iced coffees). I loved it!
Mica // July 5, 2009 at 8:35 pm |
Ahh, I love bibimbap! I’m trying to learn more about Korean food by trying out all the restaurants here. (There are a surprising number of them.) So far, my favorite is jap chae, followed in a close second by dduk bokki. I also really like kimchi jigae. So boring, but so good!
traveleatlove // July 5, 2009 at 8:50 pm |
I love trying new foods but have never tried Korean food. Now I want to!
Glad you and the parents have reconciled, I hope you are feeling better!
Maria // July 5, 2009 at 8:59 pm |
Yay for reconciling with the parents and being encouraged via blogging
Love seeing where you blog–I think all of us should show everyon where we blog. Haha, you know that I adore Korean food! And bibimbap happens to be one of my favorites, if not the favorite. I love mixing lots of things together (kimbap, bokkeumbap, ssam bap with stuff, etc.). I don’t know what I like more, black cod (eundaegoo) or bibimbap. I had some bibimbap today in vancouver (Canada) in a hot pot (dolsot). It’s usually really good in Seattle, but this place wasn’t as good. Still, you can’t go wrong with bibimbap
leslie // July 5, 2009 at 9:04 pm |
i’d love to try making this. so easy and so many possibilities! i love recipes that let you be creative.
Bread + Butter // July 5, 2009 at 9:08 pm |
You have no idea how much I LOVE Korean food. Especially all the side dishes my fav of them all is the bean sprouts. I literally jumped with joy when that was the first dish that came up.
I’m glad things are okay with you and your parents.
Emily // July 5, 2009 at 9:15 pm |
Glad today is better and that things are resolved.
Loved seeing your blogging space, too.
I have been to Korean restaurants, but I can’t remember exactly what I got. I think it was some variation on bibimbap.
Tra // July 5, 2009 at 9:20 pm |
i ate soon do fu! it was delish!
Karena // July 5, 2009 at 9:27 pm |
AH! That looks so great! I’m excited that you’ve posted a recipe for those bean sprouts! I’m a bibimbap girl and I also love some bulgogi. And there’s this kimchi soup sort of thing with rice cake? Have you been to Yechon in Annandale? I’ve been to a few other Korean places in the area and keep going back to Yechon b/c it’s so yummy (plus it doesn’t hurt that it’s open 24 hrs!).
blueeyedheart // July 5, 2009 at 9:30 pm |
I made sprouts like that once, but I used mung sprouts… it was yummy, either way.
I’m glad you and your parents have reconciled!
<3 <3
Tay // July 5, 2009 at 9:45 pm |
That meal looks delicious. Unfortunately, I’ve never eaten at a Korean restaurant, but I’m sure the dishes are tasty!
I’m so sorry about the troubles you were having, but I’m glad you guys talked it out and things are better
Chin up, girlie. It’s hard for others to understand personal situations they’ve never gone though. I hope things keep getting better for you!
Reeni // July 5, 2009 at 9:49 pm |
I like your blog spot! So cozy. Thanks for sharing. And your bean sprouts look like noodles – so delicious! I’ve never been to a Korean restaurant but I want to – there’s none to be found near us that I know of. I’m happy you and your parents are better today!
Gina // July 5, 2009 at 9:49 pm |
Thanks for the absolutely wonderful tour! I love all Korean foods, I could eat it all day everyday! And, the spicier the better
Kim // July 5, 2009 at 9:51 pm |
Man, your food looks so good! And thanks for sharing your abode. I love the container of almonds. Costco? You could fit an infant in that thing.
I’ve been to Korean barbecue…Does that count? I loved it! A good friend of mine is Korean, so I really should try more Korean food!
Lynn (The Actors Diet) // July 5, 2009 at 9:54 pm |
I can’t wait to make this! We live near K-Town and are always tempted to go out….good to know I have the tools to do it myself. Thanks!
Katharina // July 5, 2009 at 10:07 pm |
I’ve had some good kimchi before. I’ve noticed that my all my Korean friends’ kitchens smell like that! I’m not sure if this is really Korean but I would always have rice and wrap in seaweed, whenever I went to my old best friend’s house. Let’s see.. I know I’ve had other stuff because I’ve gone to this Korean restaurant where I live called Mama’s Kitchen. The lady there is so nice – always giving extra helpings
Grace-Melody // July 5, 2009 at 10:10 pm |
Yummers!!! Bibimbap is one of those things I’m crazy about in Korean restaurants.. Are the Korean ones different from Jap ones?
I love the look of your cozy home:) I’d love to have a map up of the world like you do.
noodlegirl // July 5, 2009 at 10:16 pm |
I have many time in Hawaii. Not sure if its real korean lol I love to get meat jun or spicy soyu chicken it all comes with seaweed and cucumber soup the whole works! Oh and Bibimkoksu I think thats how you spell it
Erin // July 5, 2009 at 10:45 pm |
Aw, this was so cute. I loved it.
I’m sorry you had a rough day yesterday, but I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Katrina // July 5, 2009 at 10:47 pm |
I have never had Korean food. I actually used to LOVE Chinese food, but while I was pregnant with my first, something made me not like the smells anymore. To this day, I still don’t really care for it. I do love a meal where you can just clean stuff out of the fridge and mix it all together though!
Thanks for sharing your home and meal with us! Glad things are a little better at home!
Christina@DeglazeMe // July 5, 2009 at 10:52 pm |
yeah kongnamul!! yum. i love bibimbap and anything korean, but my go-to dish is ALWAYS soondooboo jigae. especially when they bring the bap in the stonepot. yum!!
JB // July 5, 2009 at 11:02 pm |

Katherine // July 5, 2009 at 11:18 pm |
While I do like Korean food, I unfortunately had to deal with CAFETERIA Korean food for the two months I lived in Korea. So I don’t think that would be fair exposure to real Korean food. The restaurants we went to outside of the school I taught out were great though. I have to say though, that I have never tried Kim Chi in so many different forms: regular kim chi, kim chi pizza, kim chi with seafood, I even saw kim chi chocolate!! What are your variations on kim chi?
Catherine // July 5, 2009 at 11:33 pm |
Love your blogspot! I make fried rice with a Korean pork I buy at TJs–so good! The sprouts look so good!
Lorraine @NotQuiteNigella // July 5, 2009 at 11:52 pm |
Hehe I feel like I’ve visited your house now! And aren’t you a great hostess!
broccolihut // July 5, 2009 at 11:52 pm |
Wow, thanks for “virtually” inviting us into your home:)
I have never been to a Korean restaurant, but my brother-in-law and I have plans to go sometime this week!
hopeinpeanutbutterandoats // July 5, 2009 at 11:58 pm |
awh POO i got red pepper paste all over my new white blouse! o well it was delicious
you are a gem piecceeee!
Olivia // July 5, 2009 at 11:59 pm |
YUM. From one (half) Korean girl to another, I LOVE the bibimbap. Korean food makes me miss my mom, 3,000 miles away and I pay the 15 bucks whenever I feel I need some Korean sarang.
xoxo
janetha // July 6, 2009 at 12:02 am |
loved seeing your digs! and glad you and the rents made up.
Carolyn Jung // July 6, 2009 at 12:08 am |
You have a most adorable abode!
And yes, the bean sprouts look extremely familiar from my times eating at tasty Korean restaurants. Thanks for demystifying bibimbap. It’s my fave thing to order out, but I’ve never made it. But there’s no excuse for that now that you’ve shown me just how easy it is to do, and how wonderful it can be with just leftovers.
thenomadGourmand // July 6, 2009 at 12:19 am |
Hehe..i’m not a korean food fan too! But the recent opening of an authentic Korea small eatery here changed my mind.. so mayb all along i was eatin badly cooked Korean dishes???
Yups, for me it has to be the bibimbap! Cos i luvvvv rice and runny eggs does it for me all the time!
glad to knw abt ya parents..haizz..me sure ur parents meant well ;p
Tasty Health Food // July 6, 2009 at 12:53 am |
Your dining room is really cute! I’ve never actually had Korean food… Maybe I’ll try this!
parita // July 6, 2009 at 1:21 am |
Hey thats so sweet of you!! Frankly I havent tried any korean dishes as of now, its on my to do list
All your dishes look so tempting!
Mia {runs and rests} // July 6, 2009 at 1:47 am |
Glad to hear that you and your parents are okay now.
I had cold bibimbap before and I loved it. I also have Korean nori in my fridge that I just love to snack on. I don’t know how they differ from the Japanese nori but they taste better methinks. 
hangukdrama // July 6, 2009 at 2:55 am |
wow i should try to make the sprouts! I always order 자장면 or 된장찌개! XD

Ohh delicious! I`ll definately try that one sometime.
Unfortunately I havent had the chance to try any Korean food would love to try it sometime.
Tiina // July 6, 2009 at 4:59 am |
Thank you for the virtual meal! It was my first Korean meal ever.
Thank you also for commenting on my book blog.
Greetings,
Tiina
Tina // July 6, 2009 at 5:46 am |
I love your room! The red thing with the Chinese letters is beautiful. =)
Thanks for the tour! ;]
insideiamdancing // July 6, 2009 at 7:26 am |
thanks for the dinner invitation
lol…you know if I was invited, I’d be on the first flight.
I’ve been to a Korean restaurant once- NO idea what it was that I had. It was rice on the bottom and topped with some meat (chicken, I think) and vegetables- it was kind of bland until I topped it with spicy sauce. The rice was cooked in the serving dish and was crunchy at the bototm- any idea what it was?!
Sweet Kitchen // July 6, 2009 at 7:44 am |
It’s hard for me to believe it as I live in one of the most multicultural cities in the world but, for whatever reason, I’ve never tried Korean food. You have definitely inspired me to try some soon!
Anita // July 6, 2009 at 7:45 am |
Yay! Bibimbap! I only tried this, and made this, recently for a family cooking class – where we try things we’ve never had before – it was great. Thanks for the tour too
gar // July 6, 2009 at 8:02 am |
thanks for visiting my blog.
I love vegetarian bibimbap too! Delicious bean sprouts. 
Jessica@FoodMayhem // July 6, 2009 at 8:25 am |
I just threw together some bibimbop the other day but I didn’t take any pictures. I love korean food, especially dukboki and kalbi tang, Kalbi on the grill, and all the panchan!
Susan // July 6, 2009 at 8:46 am |
There’s this Korean/Japanese place in town called “Bulgogi” that I go to sometimes. But I always get the Japanese stuff. Now that I’m eating all types of meat again, I should try out some of their Korean dishes – maybe the bulgogi!
I lovelovelove your “humble abode.” It looks like such a wonderful space to be in. You are rockin that pink mac
brandi // July 6, 2009 at 8:47 am |
i love seeing where people blog
i wish we had a good Korean restaurant here!
livingfreeforever // July 6, 2009 at 9:31 am |
I have never had Korean food of any kind–that I’m aware of:) I am however all into sprouts these days! Mung bean sprouts are my current favorite.
I also read your last post about your conflict with your parents. I have been through similar things before. It does hurt when you are trying and other people assume things that aren’t true. But, it IS good to remember that they are just loving you the best way they know how. I’m sure they have NO idea what you feel like because they are not you:)
Heavenly Housewife // July 6, 2009 at 9:32 am |
I’ve never had korean food, but your spread looks colorful and delicious!
Mari // July 6, 2009 at 10:29 am |
I have never tried Korean food, not because I don’t want to but I just want to find a really good restaurant =)
I am glad things between you and your parents are better!
girlichef // July 6, 2009 at 10:31 am |
Thanks for having me
…now if only I could figure out how to reach out and take some real bites!
Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian) // July 6, 2009 at 11:05 am |
i think this post was totally fate – i just bought bean sprouts and was brainstorming things to do with them. i think you know what is in my future…
happy monday dear!
ttfn300 // July 6, 2009 at 11:19 am |
hey hun, i missed your last few posts, but i’m amazed at how much foresight you have, able to realize that your parents are concerned because they love you, and how you’ve come to learn more about your brother. keep up the conversations, that’s the best way to understand what each other is feeling and going through!
oh, and i love this idea for sprouts. last time i bought some, used a bit, then didn’t know what to do with it! now i know
tessa // July 6, 2009 at 11:37 am |
yum! i love looking at your photos lady… oh and can you come cook for me? haha!
i read the post below and sorry about the troubles with your parents, that stuff can ruin your whole mind set. but i’m glad things are better for you!!
sugarlens // July 6, 2009 at 11:44 am |
Yes, I have been to Korean restaurants! Mostly the all-you-can-eat ones on Little River Turnpike. To tell you the truth, I am not a big fan of Korean cuisine, but I definitely enjoyed learning more about bibimbap from your post!
By the way, do you have a pink Mac? How cute!
Sweetie Pie // July 6, 2009 at 11:47 am |
Wow! Thanks for dinner!! I’m stuffed.
There are a number of Korean restaurants in Annandale, Virginia, and some friends and I went in that direction in search of a Korean barbecue place not long ago. The meal we had was AMAZING! I loved all of the little bowls full of this and that, and the meat was so delicious. That’s my only experience with Korean cuisine, and it was a good one!
Christina // July 6, 2009 at 12:02 pm |
The beginning of this post is adorable! Love the virtual tour, thanks for bringing us into your world!
I’m not sure if I’ve eaten at a Korean restaurant. I know I haven’t in recent years. Maybe my parents took me to one when I was younger?
Anna // July 6, 2009 at 12:24 pm |
That rice dish looks incredible! I feel like I haven’t been exposed to much Korean food. I guess this means I need to do more exploring because I am sure that Korean restaurants exist near me.
I’m so glad that you and your parents are on better terms. Eating is definitely a sore topic in many families, my own included.
Anne K. // July 6, 2009 at 12:53 pm |
Hehe, I blog at the dining room table too, when I’m home in Michigan. Those sprouts looks fabulous–I really want to make that. I love how you combined all those ingredients into a truly fabulous dish
I’m so happy you are getting along with your parents again!! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a korean restaurant… I need to go!
Anne K. // July 6, 2009 at 12:55 pm |
Haha, um, ignore the fact that I used “fabulous” twice in one sentence… you can just replace one of those with “delicious” or another highly complimentary word of choice
psychoj1 // July 6, 2009 at 1:01 pm |
hey you! Glad you and your parents are getting along well today. Haha to the fact that they’re being so sweet to you <3
Mmm that dish sounds yummy! I don't think I've ever had a korean dish. Sorry!!
<3 jess

psychoj1 // July 6, 2009 at 1:03 pm |

Cammy // July 6, 2009 at 1:58 pm |
My dad was stationed in Korea in the 80’s, and he fell in love with the food, so my mom has always cooked it pretty frequently for him. When I was a kid, my all-time favorite korean dish was beef bulgogi, mmmm mmmm mmm……
lowandbhold // July 6, 2009 at 2:16 pm |
Yum! That looks so good! I’ve never tried Korean food at a restaurant but one of my coworkers is Korean and she cooks for us a lot! I love any kind of food!
Alison // July 6, 2009 at 2:35 pm |
Looks great! I’ve had bibimbap a few times and have really been wanting to make it on my own. I haven’t done enough cooking lately and I’d like to try something interesting.
Blond Duck // July 6, 2009 at 2:41 pm |
Being a Texas duckie, I’ve never had Korean food. But Ben had some last week, and he liked it! Of course, it’s Texas Korean food so it’s probaly not as good as yours!
Maria // July 6, 2009 at 2:58 pm |
I’ve never been to a Korean restaurant, sad! Love the meal you made!

That looks like such a delicious meal and so so simple. I am going to have to try that. It looks like somethign right out of a Korean restaurant. Yum
Robin // July 6, 2009 at 7:06 pm |
Holy crap you get a lot of comments!! But that sprout dish looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it.
Pocky // July 6, 2009 at 7:53 pm |
You are such a little cutie!!! Very creative and clever. You know, I’ve never had real Korean food before. I need to visit a Korean BBQ restaurant one day. There’s millions of them in SoCal….as many as there are Pho places. lol
Cammy@TheTippyToeDiet // July 6, 2009 at 8:30 pm |
What a lovely tour! Thank you!
I went to a Korean restaurant in New York, but all I had was grilled beef and rice. I have “issues” with soy sauce which limited my experience.
epicurean's market // July 6, 2009 at 10:27 pm |
Love this post! Bibimpap is one of my faves! I’m half Korean and grew up eating my mom’s Korean food.
Chef E // July 6, 2009 at 11:35 pm |
Boy you sure stacked up some great flavors in that bowl…in Texas I had a Korean couple friend who owned a small coffee shop where my kids and I got danish once a week. They asked us to dinner, and took us to a Korean restaurant…we told them to order, so the table was full of so many bowls of this and that, and my kids ate everything, I cannot remember it all, but it was wonderful!
louise // July 7, 2009 at 9:24 am |
What a lovely spread. Thank you so much for inviting us:) I plan on expanding my taste buds with a few more tastes of Korean food. I was introduced to bibimbap over @ Selba’s. Now, I have more to look forward too!
Thank you so much for sharing…

This looks divine! I can’t wait to make this one at home.
I haven’t been to a Korean restaurant but growing up in Northern VA in the early 80’s my family lived next door to a Korean family. They would make amazing little dumplings by the hundreds and then pile them high on silver trays and deliver them to the neighbors at Christmas time. I’ve never had anything like them since . . . I’ll never forget how wonderful they were.
