This recipe is also in my cookbook, Real Korean Cooking:
I’m going to share a super simple recipe with you today that’s one of my all time favorites. It’s a spicy Korean cucumber side dish called oi-muchim. If you have a nice seedless English cucumber, you can make this delicious banchan in just a few minutes. During my round the world Gapshida trip to meet my readers in 2011, I made this dish almost everywhere I went. Everybody loved it. Who wouldn’t like cold, fresh, crispy, seasoned cucumber? Each bite is succulent and wonderful!
Oi means “cucumber” in English, and muchim means “mixed” or “seasoned,” so many people simply call this dish “seasoned cucumber”. Many Koreans have their own version of it, so you’ll find many variations from family to family. This one is mine, and I’ve been using it for a long time. It’s also one of the dishes in my cookbook.
A major tip for this recipe is to make it and mix it just before serving, which will keep it crisp and fresh and prevent it from getting watery. It’s perfectly for a summertime BBQ – refreshing and just spicy enough to give you a little kick!
Enjoy the recipe! Let me know if you make it!

This is How I get PERFECT Smoked Salmon EVERY Time
This delicious smoked salmon recipe is brined in a wet brown sugar and citrus brine then finished with a sweet orange glaze for incredible flavor. The taste of this smoked salmon is amazing, and you can serve it hot or cold.
Smoked salmon is a process where fresh salmon is either cold or hot smoked. Hot smoking is where the salmon is smoked at temperatures between 120° and 180° until the desired internal temperature is achieved. You can also hot smoke the salmon for several hours if you plan to wrap it, cool it, and serve it cold after several days, but the texture can be dry.
The other method is cold smoking which smokes at temperatures between 70° and 90° for several hours and even up to a few weeks. If smoking for several weeks, it turns the fish into salmon-jerky. If you brine the salmon and cold smoke it for several hours, you will get something known as lox.
My smoked salmon recipe is known as kippered salmon. This method is brined and hot smoked and can be served hot or cold. I prefer to cook it to 140° to 145° internally because I like to eat it warm.

MY FAV STAINLESS BOWLS:
-- RECIPE -- makes 4 portions
▪1lb/.5kg beef flank steak or sirloin
▪5g or 1t soy sauce
▪5g or 1t shao-hsing chinese cooking wine (sub with dry sherry or white wine)
▪10g or 2 1/4t sesame oil
▪2g or .5t sugar
▪2g or 3/4t corn starch
▪2g or .5t baking soda
▪350g/12oz broccolini or broccoli cut into small pieces
▪¼ large white onion, sliced
▪10g/3-5 cloves garlic, grated
▪10g or 1-1.5Tbsp ginger, grated
▪Stir fry sauce (see recipe below)
▪Cornstarch slurry (3g/1teas corn starch mixed with 30-40g water/couple of Tbsp)
▪High smokepoint oil (canola, peanut, etc)
Cut steak with the grain into 3 2.5”/6-7cm wide strips. Turn each strip 90 degrees and slice thinly on a bias. Pieces should be approx 1”x ⅛”x2” (2.5x.3x5cm). Place meat in colander and rinse well with water.
Place rinsed and drained meat in a bowl and add soy, cooking wine, sesame oil, sugar, corn starch, and baking soda. Mix well to coat.
I’m using a seasoned 12” carbon steel wok which is recommended for the high heat of this recipe, but if you don’t have one, use a large cast iron or 12-14” nonstick at a lower temp (450F/230C).
Place pan over high heat to preheat to at least 550F/285C (mine was over 600F).
Add a squeeze of oil around the outside of the wok. Add half of the marinated beef. Stir and toss to coat with the oil, moving it around/tossing often. Do this for about 60-90 sec or until browned and cooked about 80-90% through. Transfer beef to a bowl, add another squeeze of oil followed by second half of raw/marinated beef to wok. Cook, stirring and tossing frequently for 60-90 sec. Transfer to cooked beef bowl.
Return wok to high heat. Add splash of water and wet towel with tongs to remove any stuck-on beef gunk from pan. Add squirt of oil followed by half of broccolini and half of onions. Stir and toss to cook for 60-90sec or until charred around the edges and are tender but still snappy. Transfer to bowl with cooked beef. Return wok to high heat, add squeeze of oil and the rest of the broccolini and onions, cook for 60-90 sec. Add garlic and ginger, moving/stirring constantly. Add previously stirfried beef and veg.
Toss to combine for about 15-20 sec. Add stirfry sauce around inside edges of wok. Add 2-3 spoons of cornstarch mixture. Toss and stir together to combine. Serve with rice.
