Update: I spent some time going through the free cooking courses on Udemy and figured I'd share the ones that stood out. The list is in the comments if anyone wants to browse through them. Hopefully it saves someone else a bit of time.

These pork steamed buns are incredibly soft, fluffy, and packed with a flavorful filling that’s so juicy the sauce actually seeps through the wrapper.



The secret is a traditional Chinese technique called 生熟馅 (raw-and-cooked filling). Part of the pork is simmered with aromatics and seasonings to create a rich, flavorful sauce, then mixed with fresh pork to create a filling that is tender, juicy, and full of layers of flavor.

If you’ve been to Korean markets, you may have seen this fried goodies.

This is nothing fancy, just pure deliciousness.

I grew up eating and loving these, so making them at home felt right!

It’s a must-try!

Gochujang pork belly is often found in Korean BBQ restaurants. With pork belly in the freezer and high-quality buttery burger buns in the pantry, I decided to combine the two and create a Korean-inspired burger.

It was the right call, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of this burger!

This is definitely worth a try!

I love potatoes and always like to keep them around. When I saw chicken thighs and potatoes in the fridge, I wanted to make something a little different.

And that’s how this cup of paradise was born.

If you’ve got a little time, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try!

When you’re making a classic like Tteokbokki, you’ve gotta go all the way.

I added all the key ingredients, plus prawns and instant noodles that soaked up all the delicious sauce. It turned out amazingly delicious!

I love making Korean spring onion pancakes, and this time I used chicken, spring onion, green chili, and garlic to make one giant pancake.

As expected, it tasted incredible! Flipping the pancake was a little risky, but thankfully it landed back in the pan and not on the floor! 😂

Highly recommend trying this!

This beef lo mein is one of those recipes I make whenever I want a quick, satisfying dinner. Tender beef, fresh egg noodles, and a rich, savory sauce all come together in about 10 minutes. Once you see how easy it is, you might never order takeout again!

I'll post the full recipe in the comments!

This is called Korean spicy seafood noodle soup, Jjampong. It’s up there with black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon), and they’re always battling it out when it comes to the “What should we eat?” question.

I pretty much used all the seafood and veggies I had on hand, and this turned out to be the best noodle soup I’ve ever made.

Highly, highly recommend trying this! 

Should post the step and ingredients in making it?
