Korean food takes time and alot of effort to prepare and im afraid the things you make wont turn out to be as nice as it should be and then some how you get lured into the temptation of ordering takeaway because its late at night and you're tired and all these scenario's that pop up in my head.

I can tell you its not easy this thing called Korean cuisine just go for the classic chicken breast/fruit/veggies/tuna.. but if you must go for Korean, there's no reason why u cant have a crack GL

I did something like that at once, I was unbearably miserable

although it did work! starvation is a pretty reliable weight loser

It's tough when I'm constantly being offered presents of junk food from people. I'm having to get used to politely declining, or accepting them and passing them on to others. I'm actually enjoying it in a few ways. I don't really like the exercise, but it's nice to be told I look good for once, and I photograph my dinners every night for fun.

I'm not starving myself since my portions are smaller, but I still get full. I'm also not skipping meals like I used to when I worked SC all the time. Sometimes then I'd only be able to afford a ramen cup for a whole day, and then I'd stock up on cookies from the OGN press room. Thank God those days are over.

I'm a college student living by myself and I'm also trying to cook korean food on my own but lol it's impossible :p except the real simple ones like some of the ppl mentioned (ggeh lan jjim, dak doh lee ttang) but another easy dish is "kimchi bokkum myun" All you have to do is get some kimchi and some "cham gi lum" and noodles from the asian market(not spagetti noodles) and just mix that together. A simple dish but very good.

But listen..for a Korean meal, rice and kimchi is a MUST..then you can add one other meat such as "dak doh lee ttang" or bulgogi or galbi. This is pretty much all you need..i mean you can also have "den jjang gook" but it's really not necessary..but for me I have to have some kind of meat with my rice and kimchi or I get hungry again real fast or don't have enough energy throughout the day.

For the kimchi, like that guy said earlier..if u don't have a korean mom that makes it for u then buying it is the best choice but you HAVE to have kimchi and I'm assuming you alrdy know how to make rice since you got a rice cookA'. So yea like that other guy said earlier, make sure you get the brown rice with the white one for health benefits.

So to acutally help you, just get some jars of kimchi and make your rice and find some kind of meat and you got yourself a good korean meal. The meat doesnt even have to be korean, but u need to have some kind of meat to help you stay full gl hf

Best Korean foods =D: Ssahm gyup ssahl, Jjam ppong, Jja jjaang myun, Bibim Bahp, thuck bok Gi
Vietnam Foods that Koreans enjoy: Wohl Lam Sahm(spring rolls), Wol Lam Gook Soo(pho)
The most popular korean food that every korean knows: Kim Bop

omg im f'in hungry now!!! XD

Thanks Everyone. That was a bunch of help! To answer some of your questions I have been eating Korean food all my life. My dads side of the family is Korean, and every time I go see them I love everything they always cook. Problem is that they have become more american-ized and dont cook much other then Bulgogi or kalbi, but thats about all they ever made. In Vegas (were I moved from) I had just a local Korean store that had some wonderful dishes.

Bibimbap(might be my favorite thing in the world)

JapChe- cooked noodles, with mushrooms and other Vegies and meat

And I know I need to run do all that, my new apartments have a nice gym on site and a path that I can run on.I just want to cut away from picking between Wendy's or Del Taco EveryNight. I have always wanted to be able to cook Korean food, and everything I have tried in the past to make mostly comes out fine. Also I will be cooking sometimes for 4-5 other people, roommates and friends, so I would love to know about side dishes and things like that.

This all should have been in my first post, it was a little late when I posted.

Edit: I have Rice, Kimchi, Kochujang, and seaweed in my fridge now. I know a little just asking for more input and other things to cook.

yah but more and more people are moving into apartments, so it's kind of hard to have the traditional yard and gigantic ceramic pot of kimchi

They should make 김치냉장고 shaped like a gigantic ceramic pot imo
