They really enshittified the internet so hard that it’s more convenient to have these bulky ass (expensive too if you don’t get second hand…) books that you have to flick through and find room to store and try not to spill shit on and stick little bookmarks in to save commonly used recipe, god damn.

For years I used a search engine, and used Pinterest a lot too to save recipes and categorise them. But the SEO slop, the AI slop, the ads…. It’s just become horrific half the time. I did try downloading a few eBooks and pdfs but the format is really not great for cookbooks.

If anyone has any recommendations for sites or apps that aren’t fucking terrible I would love that. Especially im-vegan ones.

    If there’s anything sondubu jigae, kimchi jigae, or dolsot bibimbap I’d love to see them. Also any banchan (is that how you spell it?) that you reckon are legendary?

    My wife and I used to go on dates at a Korean restaurant and I miss the food a lot, it would be fun to surprise her with a meal but I’ve found most recipes online that are veganised lacking

          SOONDOOBOO CHIGAE

          Recipe Book: All

          Ingredients

          • I tablespoon sesame oil
          • 2 tablespoons gochugaru
          • ¼ onion, diced
          • 3 cloves garlic, minced
          • 1 small potato, diced
          • ½ cup hobak or regular zucchini half-moon discs (¼ inch thick)
          • 2 teaspoons salt
          • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
          • I tablespoon soup (light) soy sauce
          • 2 cups Vegetable Broth
          • 2 (16-ounce) blocks silken tofu
          • 2 scallions, chopped

          Directions

          1. In a medium ddukbaegi or Dutch oven, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Immediately add the gochugaru and stir with a wooden spoon. Make sure the gochugaru does not burn (turn dark), as it will get bitter.

          2. When the gochugaru starts to bubble and froth, add the onion, garlic, potato, zucchini, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the onions begin to turn translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.

          3. Add the soy sauce to deglaze the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth. Add the silken tofu, breaking it up gently with your spoon into large chunks (you do not want it to look curdled). Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

          4. Add the scallions and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes before serving

            Bulgogi

            Ingredients

            • 1 cup Soy Curls
            • 3 to 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
            • ½ cup Omma’s Korean
            • BBQ Sauce (page 45)
            • 1 scallion, cut into
            • 2- to 3-inch lengths
            • ¼ red onion, julienned
            • ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
            • Oil for grilling
            • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
            • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

            Directions

            1. Soak the Soy Curls in water for at least 1 hour. Drain and squeeze out any excess liquid. At the same time, soak the shiitake mushrooms to rehydrate, then chop.

            2. In a large zip-top plastic bag or reusable silicone bag, place the Soy Curls, shiitakes, barbecue sauce, scallions, red onion, and bell pepper. Make sure all the Soy Curls are submerged in the sauce. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

            3. Preheat a grill or a grill pan (or a cast-iron skillet). Slightly oil the grates or pan. When the grill is hot, place the marinated Soy Curls, mushrooms, scallions, onions, and bell pepper on the grill pan or grill topper, basting with the remaining marinade. Cook until the Soy Curls are slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes.

            4. Drizzle with the sesame oil and garnish with the sesame seeds before serving.

            • 1 tablespoon doenjang

            2. Drain the kale, wrap it in a large kitchen towel, and squeeze out the excess liquid (this is the hardest and most annoying part of the recipe, but it’s necessary).

            3. Place the kale in a bowl, add the doenjang, black pepper, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and mix everything together, preferably by hand
