You can feel the love the authors have not only for the cuisine, but for the culture of Korea. This book is a great find for the busy person who wants to cook Korean food on a regular basis, without the hassle of doing a lot of dishes! - Hooni Kim, Michelin-star chef and author of My Korea
Korean Instant Pot Cookbook is the perfect collection of recipes for home cooks who want to make authentic Korean cuisine with ease. Recipe developers Nancy Cho and Selina Lee learned to make Korean food from their mothers and grandmothers. For Nancy, this transpired in her family's kitchen in California suburbs, while Selina's experience came from growing up in Seoul, Korea. Together, they set out to explore their Korean heritage, family experiences, and cherished dishes from their childhood to the present. In this cookbook, they share over 90 recipes, tested and translated for preparation in the Instant Pot--all while maintaining the flavors and foundational traditions of Korean cuisine.
Whether you're looking to recreate the dishes your umma made or you're new to Korean cooking, the Korean Instant Pot Cookbook will help any home cook whip out a quick weeknight meal, an easy late-night snack, or put together an inviting bapsang (Korean table complete with banchan)!

Simple rice cakes drenched in a spicy sauce. Bulgogi sliders. A scallion pancake (pajeon) the New York Times calls the essential taste of Korean cuisine. For years Hooni Kim's food has earned him raves, including a Michelin Star--the first ever awarded to a Korean restaurant--for Danji. His background in world-class French and Japanese kitchens seamlessly combines with his knowledge of the techniques of traditional Korean cuisine to create uniquely flavorful dishes.
My Korea, his long-awaited debut cookbook, introduces home cooks to the Korean culinary trinity: doenjang, ganjang, and gochujang (fermented soybean paste, soy sauce, and fermented red chili paste). These key ingredients add a savory depth and flavor to the 90 recipes that follow, from banchan to robust stews. His kimchis call upon the best ingredients and balance a meal with a salty, sour, and spicy kick. Elevated classics include one-bowl meals like Dolsot Bibimbap (Sizzling-Hot Stone Bowl Bibimbap), Haemul Sundubu Jjigae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew with Seafood), and Mul Naengmyeon (Buckwheat Noodles in Chilled Broth). Dishes meant for sharing pair well with soju or makgeolli, an unfiltered rice beer, and include Budae Jjigae (Spicy DMZ Stew) and Fried Chicken Wings.
Complete with thoughtful notes on techniques and sourcing and gorgeous photography from across Korea, this cookbook will be an essential resource for home cooks, a celebration of the deliciousness of Korean food by a master chef.
