This year, Chuseok holidays are celebrated from September 30th to October 2nd. In Korea, families gather together and enjoy tasty food together. Let's explore the most popular Chuseok dishes.
The first dish we will discuss is japchae (stir-fried glass noodles). Although it's also often eaten as banchan (side dishes), japchae is served on holidays or birthday celebrations. To make japchae, start by cooking glass noodles in hot water, and stir-fry the toppings such as onion, carrots, spinach, and meat. Drain the cooked glass noodles, add soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar (1 tablespoon each), and stir-fry with all the toppings. Already widely popular abroad for the savory taste, japchae is also one of the children's favorite dishes. Why don't you try making it at home?
Next, let's talk about galbijjim (braised short ribs). Galbijjim is marinated and braised beef or pork ribs, usually eaten on holidays in Korea. Cut short ribs into smaller pieces, boil them in water,add marinade, then let it simmer for a while. The salty and sweet flavors go perfectly nicely together.
The last dish we will introduce is jeon (Korean pancakes). The smell of cooking oil in the streets signals the beginning of holidays. In Korea, various kinds of jeon are eaten on holidays. One of them is donggeurangttaeng (flat meatballs), which also makes excellent snacks for children. This dish with a cute name is a staple for the holidays. To make donggeurangttaeng, dice vegetables like green onions, carrots, and onions into small pieces and mix with ground beef or pork. Season with salt and pepper, form the shapes into flat rounds, coat them first in flour, then dip them in egg wash. Fry the rounds with plenty of oil in a frying pan. Pressing them down with a spoon allows them to cook thoroughly.
