I need a Korean Halmoni

Halmoni is Grandma in Korean. Why do I need a Korean Grandma? Actually I would take any grandma that would cook for me and make me feel like the most important person in the world.




I miss my grandma very much. She really was someone that treated me like I was the most special human on earth. The reason I want a Korean Grandma is because I want homemade Korean food all the time. She would bring me into her kitchen and feed me bulgogi. She would make me Kimchi (the radish kind that I like). She would hand feed me Dolsot Bibimbap.



So since this fantasy isn't going to come true in this lifetime I have to take care of my own cravings. I decided to take a recipe for chicken wings from Kimchi Chronicles Cookbook and use the marinade for a whole chicken.



I stuck the butterflied chicken into a bag with the marinade.



I made some Kimchi and rice thingy.




I channeled my Korean Halmoni.
