Bring Korean Flavors Home: How I Tested Hyundai’s Newest Kitchen Must-Haves
Imagine the savory aroma of sizzling Korean skewered fish cakes, the rich steam rising from a comforting bowl of birthday soup, and the irresistible sweetness of hotteok, all made right in your own kitchen without the usual hassle.
I recently attended Cook With Hyu, an interactive culinary session hosted by Hyundai Home Appliances at UM Kitchen Studio in Quezon City. Guided by Chef Beda Evangelista of The Phat Chef, we didn't just sit back and watch a cooking demonstration. Instead, we rolled up our sleeves, put Hyundai's latest smart appliances to the test, and prepared a feast of authentic Korean dishes from scratch!
What We Cooked: Korean Classics Made Simple
Chef Beda walked us through an incredible menu during the session. While I'll be sharing the full recipe graphics and step-by-step photos in my upcoming post, here are the delicious Korean recipes we learned to make using Hyundai's appliances:
- Korean Fish Cake Skewers (Odeng Kkochi / Eomuk Kkochi)
- Hotteok (Korean Sweet Pancakes)
- Bungeoppang (Fish-Shaped Pastry)
- Birthday Soup (Seaweed Soup / Miyeok-guk)
- Baked Kimchi Rice
From savory street-food favorites to comforting Korean home-cooked meals, the experience showed us how the right kitchen appliances can make preparing these dishes easier and more enjoyable.
