Bibimbap is a classic Korean dish, translating to ‘mixed rice’. It consists of warm rice topped with a selection of cooked vegetables, marinated meat (usually beef) and a fried egg, with a spicy gochujang sauce drizzled over. Everything gets mixed together before eating. It’s the perfect ‘clean out the fridge’ meal, using up any veg you have leftover, so feel free to swap the veggies out for whatever you have on hand

Inspired by dalgona (a honeycomb candy popularised by Netflix hit Squid Game) and yakgwa (a traditional honey-ginger cookie), these creamy puds combine caramel sweetness with warm spice

Vegetable, seafood or meat pancakes, known as jeon, are a common banchan (side dish), starter or snack in Korea. These ones are inspired by Korean corn cheese, an indulgent side that’s often served hot and bubbling

Galbi-jjim, or braised short ribs, is a celebratory dish in Korea. Traditionally, it combines a sweet soy-based sauce with fruit and Korean vegetables
