What I eat at home as Korean in SG part3

Singapore
3/16 Edited to

... Read moreOne of my favorite Korean homemade dishes that I love making and sharing with friends is 새우전, or shrimp jeon. It’s a crispy, savory pancake made with shrimp and a light batter, perfect as a finger food for gatherings or a simple snack. When I prepare it at home in Singapore, I focus on using fresh shrimp and balancing the batter texture so it’s crispy on the outside and tender inside. I often pair shrimp jeon with classic Korean side dishes like spicy radish 무생채 and fermented pickles such as 오이지 to complement the flavors. Another popular dish I enjoy is 갈비찜, braised galbi or beef ribs, which is rich and savory, and perfect for family dinners. For Korean food enthusiasts living in Singapore, recreating these dishes can be a wonderful way to stay connected to our roots. Even simple dishes like steamed eggs (계란찜) or acorn jelly salad (도토리묵) bring a lot of comfort and nostalgia. Sharing these meals with friends at Korean community events or church gatherings makes the experience more special. If you want to try making shrimp jeon at home, I'd suggest sourcing fresh ingredients from Korean markets in Singapore and experimenting with different dipping sauces, like soy sauce mixed with a little vinegar and chili flakes for an extra kick. It’s these little homemade touches that bring authentic Korean flavors right to your table.
