Welcome

Food has always been a big part of my life. Being born into a rather food-obsessed family, with a mother who took the time to cook everything from scratch, I was constantly surrounded by authentic home-cooked Korean Food as a child. More about Judy

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen. Today I’m giving a fast-food cult classic a full Korean remix — the Samgyeopsal Crunchwrap Supreme. 🌯🔥

Think @tacobell’s late night legend…but with a Seoul-ful twist. 

Crispy on the outside, melty inside, and loaded with:
• Tender, caramelized pork belly
• Spicy, fresh dadaegi sauce 
• And my gochujang nacho cheese 

Folded, wrapped, seared golden, and finished with all the fresh toppings. 

Smoky, cheesy, spicy, and completely addictive….it hits every craving at once. 💛🔥

And if you didn’t know, yes…the Taco Bell Cantina in Vegas really hosts weddings. Tag the person you’d elope with for a Crunchwrap.” ⤵️

Comment ‘crunchwrap’ for the recipe!

Huge thank you to @spursofficial, @regionallondonchef @tottenhamhotspurstadium, and the incredible H-Club team for their incredible team, warm hospitality, and seamless service.

A few favorites from the menu: Yujacha-cured Salmon Mini Bagels, Kimchi Croque Madame, Green Tea Pancakes, and a silky Jasmine Tea Crème Brûlée with Seaweed Shortbread to finish + our signature Kimchi Bloody Mary. 🍸🔥

And as always, grateful to cook alongside @chefandrewhales!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWith Thanksgiving coming up, here’s a little look back at last week’s TODAY All-Star Thanksgiving. We celebrated 10 years of holiday tradition with the @todayshow family and so many incredible chefs sharing their favorite recipes. 🍁✨

This year, I shared my Cranberry Yuzu Whipped Feta Dip, a bright, creamy appetizer that brings a zesty Korean twist to the holiday table. Tart cranberries meet sweet yujacha (a Korean honey citron fruit tea), with a hint of gochugaru and a cloud of whipped feta for the perfect holiday harmony.

It was such a joy being back on set with @laurajarrett, @craigmelvinnbc, and @dylandreynbc, and the rest of the @todayfood @nbcnews family.

And what a fun time celebrating with
