Korean-Style Watercress Namul (2 Side Servings)
This Korean-style namul uses watercress, which is less common in Korea, instead of Korean minari. Blanch the greens briefly and season with scallions, garlic and sesame.
Korean home cooking first, with dishes from around the world.

A home-style Korean fermented soybean paste stew. Thinly sliced beef and garlic form the savory broth before potatoes, zucchini, onion and tofu are simmered. Unlike seafood-based versions, beef makes the base.

A complete Korean rice-bowl meal: thin pork, cabbage and carrots cook in a spicy sauce lightly thickened with potato starch and are served over rice. It is deliberately saucier than dry stir-fried jeyuk bokkeum.

Dongnae-style pajeon from Busan is made by lining up whole scallions, adding mussels, squid and shrimp, then setting beaten egg over the top. This home-friendly modern flour-mix version is not the strictly traditional rice-flour-only method.
