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 imageThank you @shanshuisocial for letting me loose in your kitchen for our Korean Chinese Iron Chef K-Pop Up Sunday Lunch! 🥢

In Korea, this fusion cuisine is called Junghwa-yori (중화요리), and its two headliners are jjajangmyeon, glossy black bean noodles, and tangsuyuk, sweet and sour pork fried until it shatters. 

Cooking these in London, alongside Shan Shui’s gorgeous roast duck with my ssamjang dip, felt really special. A little taste of home, shared with a room full of new friends🌟

Thank you to everyone who came! Both recipes are in my new cookbook MUKJA: LET’S EAT! Pre-order now via the links in my bio📕

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen — today we’re making dumpling lasagna. 🍤

You’ve probably already seen this one all over your feed — the viral trend of layering dumpling filling with wonton wrappers instead of folding each one by hand, steamed straight in a dish. Most versions blowing up right now are pork, but you know me: I couldn’t resist giving it a seafood spin.

Each layer tucks in a juicy shrimp-and-broccoli filling, then steams into something so silky and spoonable — tender, slippery wrappers, sweet succulent shrimp, spicy chili crisp drizzled on top, and all the coziness of a dish you want to disappear into.

🍝 Random fact: “lasagna” isn’t even originally Italian. The name traces back to laganon, an ancient Greek dish of thin dough sheets that predates Italy claiming it by over 2,000 years.

So really, we’re just the latest in a very long line of people reinventing lasagna — this time, giving it an Asian twist, one shrimp-forward layer at a time. Cozy, elegant, ridiculously satisfying. ✨
