Anne Rosenzweig's Winter Kimchi

Bibimbap With Tuna, Sweet Potato, Broccoli Rabe or Kale, and Lettuce
I keep the tuna in one piece when I marinate it and cook it, then slice it after it’s seared so it won’t be overcooked. If you want to reduce the calories and carbs here, substitute winter squash or another vegetable of your choice for the sweet potatoes.

Bibimbap With Beef, Winter Squash, Spinach and Cucumber
Bibimbap is a classic Korean mixed-rice dish. In traditional bibimbap, a large serving of rice is placed in the center of a hot bowl and surrounded with small amounts of meat — usually beef — and seasoned vegetables that include a mixture of cultivated vegetables (cucumber, carrot, daikon or turnips, spinach, lettuce, mushrooms) and wild items like fiddlehead ferns and reconstituted dried toraji (bellflower roots). A fried egg is often placed on top of the rice, and diners stir everything together. This recipe breaks with traditional bibimbap by using brown rice (you could also use barley, quinoa or another grain of your choice). As for the winter squash and spinach? The recipe is a template; use whatever vegetables you like.

Bibimbap With Tofu, Cucumbers, Spinach, Shiitakes and Carrots
For this dish, instead of using the traditional Korean marinade, I use my favorite marinade for the tofu; it includes mirin, sweet Japanese rice wine.

Korean Pancakes (Pa Jun)

Kimchi, My Way

Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup)
This is a traditional Korean soup consumed on the hottest days of summer. Fancier Korean restaurants will often add extra medicinal herbs and aromatics, but the home-cooked, mom-approved samgyetang that Koreans know best has six indispensable ingredients: chicken, garlic, scallions, glutinous rice, ginseng (fresh is preferred) and dried red dates (jujubes). The last three items may be hard to find, but every Korean grocery stocks them. Many shops even sell samgyetang-stuffing kits, which come with a small packet of rice, a couple of dried jujubes and a nub of dried ginseng, with some brands offering additional, often arcanely named aromatics (like milkvetch root or acanthopanax) to fortify the broth. The soup is normally prepared for one, with a single small chicken or Cornish hen served whole in boiling broth. We doubled the recipe to feed two, but it can be easily halved.

Jiwon’s Blueberry-Basil Soju
Soju is frequently infused with fruits and herbs. Here, my friend Jiwon Choi combines some of each, which yield a brightly fragrant result.

Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)
Dangmyeon, or Korean glass noodles, made with sweet potato starch, have a wonderful chewy, slippery texture. Combined with an abundance of stir-fried vegetables and beef, then tossed with soy sauce, sesame oil and abundant black pepper, Japchae teems with multiple savory flavors and contrasting textures. Delicious warm, at room temperature or cold, it's an ideal dish for potlucks and project-focused dinner parties alike.

Scallion Pancakes With Squid
The textures in this delicious recipe for pajeon, traditional Korean scallion-based pancakes, are manifold: meaty from the squid, crunchy yielding to soft from the fried bits of batter, juicy from the scallion. It came to The Times from Hooni Kim, the chef at Hanjan in Manhattan. One of the secrets to this pancake is waiting for the oil to heat up before mixing the batter. That way, the batter doesn’t sit around and turn gluey. Eat them as hot as you can without burning your fingers. The risk is worth it.

Soju and Tonic With Lemon-Lime Syrup
Tonic's not just for gin: It makes for a refreshing highball with soju, too — and a judicious measure of citrusy syrup sweetens it up just enough.

Kalbi-Chim
This Korean-style dish is the perfect dinner-party centerpiece. The marinated pork ribs, kalbi, are slow-cooked over a bed of vegetables and mushrooms. Serve it with rice and homemade kimchi for a filling meal.
