43 Best Korean Recipes and Korean-Inspired Bites
In this compilation of our favorite Korean recipes, we've gathered a host of traditional dishes—think real-deal kimchi, doenjang jjigae, bo ssam, and more—as well as those that are inspired by Korean flavors, such as gochujang grilled cheese, a riff on dubu jorim, and a kimchi pancake made with matzoh. You'll also find updates on classic Korean recipes, including a delicious version of japchae that comes together in an Instant Pot for a no-stress side or main dish. And don't forget the banchan: We've got pickled Korean pears, a sweet onion salad, and more. Check out the full collection below.

While this recipe features scallions, these pancakes can be filled with almost anything: garlic chives, ramps, chrysanthemum leaves. If you want something a little more substantial, add squid or shrimp cut into bite-sized pieces. This pajeon recipe was one of the favorite weeknight Korean recipes shared with us by Hooni Kim.
