Blame H-mart - the new Korean megastore that has opened up near our home recently. It's a huge store with a great fish/sushi selection, whole area for kimchi, a food court, a posh bakery etc. We go there often at weekends - where you fight with other asians for a parking space. Once in, they are cooking up a storm in food samples - dumplings, fruit, fish, korean bbq etc. Our grocery bills have doubled but food quality of life - definitely have gone up 3 notches! I see odd ingredients, buy them and work out what to do with them on the net. Owning my trusty H-mart calendar (with 12 recipes) plus access to all the correct ingredients means I can now cook jap chae, bibimbap, scallion pancakes, beef bulgogi and the fabulous hot tofu kimchi stew called soondooboo jjiagae.
