tested SO many different methods, temps and times to achieve the PERFECT at-home korean sweet potato!! If you know you know, goguma is soooo sweet and delicious while being healthy, high in fiber and quite filling! it’s common to see roasted sweet potatoes sold in asian convenience stores, especially in Korea and Japan, but it’s actually quite hard to replicate the caramelization at home without the proper techniques!! Tip 1: Smaller and thinner sweet potatoes are sweeter and yield better, more consistent results! Peak season is NOW (December thru February). Tip 2: use the top rack of your oven! IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE I PROMISE! Tip 3: dunk in an ice bath half way. this will make them super easy to peel! All it takes is 1 hour for incredibly soft, sweet, and caramelized korean sweet potatoes! #goguma #sweetpotato #EasyRecipe #cookinghack #dietfood

KBBQ corn cheese…but AT HOME! It’s super quick and easy to make yourself and only takes a few staple ingredients! This takes me less than 10 minutes every time and is wayyy better than when you get it at a korean restaurant or pocha! You’ll need: - 1 can of corn - 2 tbsp kewpie mayo - 1/2-1 tbsp unsalted butter - Garlic powder to taste (I used 1/2 tsp) - Onion powder to taste (I used 1/8 tsp) - Black pepper - Shredded mozzarella cheese - Green onions (OPTIONAL) If you want to take this easy recipe a step further, you can use your broiler and a skillet, but this recipe is for those who just want to use the stove! #koreanfood #corncheese #EasyRecipe #corn #kbbq

20-course omakase i HIGHLY recommend and just $63!!

steal my chinatown food crawl itinerary!! This one’s for Flushing, which is known to be bigger, better, cheaper, and more authentic than Manhattan Chinatown. BUT if that’s what you’re looking for, I have a food crawl video of Manhattan Chinatown, too!! This food crawl hits 9 spots in 4 hours and ranges from soup dumplings to rice rolls, flaky chinese chicken sandwiches to peking duck buns, crab roe noodles and even dessert like tofu pudding, mochi and boba! EVERYTHING is typically just a 2 minute walk from each other and you can get there via the Flushing Main Street subway stop :) Watch my video for details like what to get! But at a glance… Stop 1: Liu Liu Shen Jian Wang (New World Mall) Stop 2: Fu Yuan Stop 3: Shanghai You Garden Stop 4: White Bear Stop 5: Xie Bao (New York Food Court) Stop 6: Soybean Chen Flower Shop Stop 7: Gao Xiao Pa Stop 8: Molly Tea (or any boba shop really!) Stop 9: Soybean Mochi Cart #chinatown #flushing #foodcrawl #cheapeats #nyceats #chinesefood #dumplings #mochi #tofu

make instant kimchi with me!! Geotjeori is a non-fermented fresh kimchi that’s delicious and perfect for when you want kimchi and you want it NOW! It’s also incredibly beginner friendly and ready in about an hour versus days! If you don’t like the funkiness of kimchi, you might like this kind. I adjusted this side dish recipe to maximize the authentic flavor of geotjeori while minimizing the need to buy a bunch of new ingredients! That said, if you have ingredients like saewoojeot (salted fermented shrimp) and plum extract in your fridge, you can (and should) add those into your kimchi paste mixture! Ingredients & measurements: — 1 medium size napa cabbage — 1/4 cup coarse salt (kosher salt works!) — 5 tbsp gochugaru (flaky kind is best) — 1 tbsp minced garlic — 2 tbsp fish sauce — 1 tbsp sugar (or plum extract) — korean chives to taste (or green onions) — splash of sesame oil — roasted sesame seeds to garnish (OPTIONAL) #kimchi #EasyRecipe #geotjeori #banchan #koreanfood

must do in vietnam for a custom souvenir!! made the CUTEST stamps of my family’s pets and loved ones ❤️ they’re ready same day OR next day, depending on how many you get. You pay about $10 (250,000 VND) per person/pet! PRO TIP: you can make a couples stamp for wedding invites! It’d be $20 for two faces. Wish I knew about this when I was engaged! Highly recommend showing the owner multiple photos and having him tell you which is best, since he’s the one carving it for you! I went to Phuc Loi Stamp in the Old Quarter in Hanoi. I’m sure other cities like HCMC have this, too!! Make sure to give the other local businesses some love tho!!! There’s a few stamp shops here all in a row ❤️ #vietnam #vietnamtravel #hanoi #customstamp #traveltips

lotte world is underrated!! watch for all my best tips, especially if it’s your first time! definitely worth adding to your Seoul, Korea itinerary :) FYI It’s an indoor AND outdoor park (perfect for hot, humid or rainy weather) and I recommend tackling the outdoor portion first! If you’re not from Korea, tickets are kind of complicated so highly recommend getting them on Klook! PRO TIP: I had to wait until just a few days before my visit in order to get the Magic Pass option!! Super worth it imo because I paid $53 and that included the admission ticket plus three magic passes which can be used on the most popular rides like Atlantis! If you book on Klook, I have code HELENMELON for a discount! #lotteworld #klookpartner #themepark #seoulkorea #visitkorea

must try snack in korea!! Sticky rice fresh fruit mochi is SOOO good and slightly different than the Japanese kinds I’ve tried! This spot is located in Seongsu (a super popular area you’re likely to visit anyways!) but they have a few other locations around Seoul, too. 📍 Hanjungsun (Seongsu) My top recommendation is to try the shine muscat grape and strawberry flavors!! #mochi #stickyrice #seongsu #koreanstreetfood #seoulkorea #visitkorea #koreatravel

eat your skincare with korean seaweed soup (miyeokguk)! This was my FAVORITE as a kid!! Not only is miyeokguk delicious, but it’s also PACKED with nutrients and benefits for your skin and hair health. Korean seaweed is an underrated superfood! That’s why it’s one of the most meaningful meals you can make for someone you love…especially on their birthday and for postpartum moms. The soup is incredibly nourishing and comforting, light and healthy. All you really need is 30 minutes, some Korean seaweed and beef. The rest are Asian kitchen essentials! INGREDIENTS (feeds 2): — 15g dried Korean seaweed — approx. 0.5 lb beef (any soup beef works!) — 1 tbsp sesame oil — 0.5 tbsp minced garlic — 3-3.5 cups water — 1.5-2 tbsp soup soy sauce (1 tbsp to saute + 0.5-1 tbsp to season broth) — 0.5 tsp pepper — 1/8 tsp seafood dasida OR anchovy fish sauce (멸치액젓) OR tuna sauce (참치액) TIP: you can enhance your soup with an anchovy broth tablet (and skip the last ingredient above!) TIP: leftovers in fridge last up to 3 days. Leftovers in freezer last 3-4 months! #miyeokguk #koreanfood #soup #EasyRecipe #postpartum

took a chance booking this but loved it!! made my own custom stone stamp of my Korean name!! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do this because I write a lot of letters and looove DIY activities!! This one is in Insadong, Seoul, which is a really cute area with tons of shops, cafes and restaurants. The workshop is in English and takes about 1.5 hours.

FINALLY went to THE OC kbbq institution!!! Mo Ran Gak is THAT girl and every time I go to OC people ask me to review this spot! They’ve got two locations: the OG location in Garden Grove and the newer one in Fullerton! I went to the Fullerton location, which I believe has more ample parking!! Parking was easy for us on a Sunday night. Highly recommend the non-marinated or marinated combos, plus the mul nangmyun (Korean cold noodles)!! Or, just get the Nangmyun + galbi combo!! That sounds AMAZING to me lol. #orangecounty #oceats #koreanbbq #kbbq #koreanfood #naengmyeon #gardengrove #losangelesfood

I DREAM ABOUT THESE NOODLES!! Chongqing Special Noodles is a local gem in San Gabriel (SGV) and their prices are SO SO GOOD. My two must gets I HIGHLY recommend are the youpo noodles for hand pulled chewy noodles (vegetarian friendly!) and the chongqing cold noodles! The cold noodles are similar to a dan dan noodle and got a ton of hype a while ago (shoutout Ronit!!). I love to share this dish as an appetizer between 2-3 people, then have one of the more substantial noodle dishes as the main! The only dish I haven’t loved here is the Sichuan dumplings. They didnt have much filling/meat in them. #chinesefood #sangabriel #losangelesfood #spicy #noodles

the world is sleeping on sticky corn!! (well, except Asia lol). It’s also called glutinous corn or waxy corn and it has SUCH a unique look, texture and bite to it! It’s almost like mochi or a sticky rice. It’s gluten free btw, despite it being called glutinous lol. The best way I’d describe the difference in flavor is this: American sweet corn is typically very juicy, crisp and sweet. Glutinous corn found in Asia is very chewy, bouncy, and not as sweet. Basically, gutinous corn has a ton of amylopectin,which gives it that chewy texture! Makes it the perfect asian snack :) 
How to cook: from frozen, microwave for ~3-4 minutes OR steam for ~6-8 minutes. Times will obviously vary depending on how much you’re cooking, but cook til fully warmed and tender! #corn #stickycorn #hmartfinds #uniquefoods #glutinouscorn

easy! healthy! delicious! korean beef radish soup (소고기 무국). It makes for the perfect cozy Korean meal and is so simple yet satisfying! I think of it as a galbitang dupe 🤭 Normally I am NOT a fan of radish but this soup is the EXCEPTION! not to mention, radish is very healthy and restorative: low calorie, high fiber, and incredibly nutrient dense! 💡TIPS TO PICK A KOREAN RADISH: choose a medium size radish that feels a bit heavier than it looks. should have both green and white with no visible bruises or cracks. If you can’t find it, daikon radish works, too. But try to find Korean radish if you can! it may also be called “mu” at the Asian grocery. INGREDIENTS (feeds 2): — 1/2 lb beef (beef brisket or stew beef like chuck eye roll, should have some fat) — 1/2 lb Korean radish — 5 cups water — 1 tbsp minced garlic — 1 tbsp soup soy sauce (fish sauce OK) — 1/4 to 1/2 tbsp sesame oil — 1 tsp kosher salt — 1/2 tsp black pepper — 1/4 tsp beef dasida (OPTIONAL but encouraged) — 1-1.5 tbsp chopped green onions #soup #koreansoup #koreanfood #EasyRecipe #healthyrecipe
