         Almost every week or two, you’ll find some Korean dishes on our dinner table. My husband Thomas is American, but he was born in Korea and lived there until he was 2. He told me that his nanny started sneaking kimchi into his food after he was born, until his mom found out and furiously banned it from his diet. But the damage was done! Since then, he has always had a keen taste for kimchi and all kinds of Korean food. When we were dating, he made kimchi fried rice with melted cheese on top for me and it has been one of my favorite dishes since then.

        We always have a giant jar of kimchi in the fridge, no matter whether for cooking or snacking. Some of our favorite dishes are Korean Army Stew (Budae Jjigae), Kimchi Stew with Tofu and Meatballs, Kimchi Pork Steamed Bun, Kimchi Chicken Quesadillas, and Kimchi Pancakes,
