@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHailing from the great state of New Jersey– I grew up eating buffalo wings. 

There was even a buffalo wings site on campus at my college in NYC called Pluck U. (who else remembers this chain? It was started by Columbia and NYU grads). It was open late, and our go to place for midnight munchies!

And, yes they do come from Buffalo, NY, a city upstate known for their bitterly cold winters and their nuclear hot wings. 

Here, I have twisted up the traditional Buffalo wings with a fusion of East meets West. Believe me, I am a mega fan of the original wing slathered in Frank’s hot sauce. But, these Korean-esque wings are drenched in a delectably spicy gochujang based hot sauce, offering a more earthy and umami flavor. 

With the perfect balance of heat, tang, and a hint of sweetness, each bite is an adventure in itself.

Elevate your Korean Buffalo Wings experience with these tips:

Ensure your wings are well-coated in potato starch for that irresistible crunch.

Fry to golden perfection and toss well in the sauce for a glossy spicy finish.

Serve hot and garnish with sesame seeds and finely chopped spring onions for an added burst of freshness. 

And, a side of your fave blue cheese dressing!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageFound some old photos from my days as a development chef at @saveurmag. The famed Colman Andrews was the EIC and @jao.vivian was running the test kitchen alongside Melissa Hamilton @canalhouse. I loved testing recipes from all over the world and exploring countries through its food.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageIt was a huge honor to speak @stanford university at their Korean Food Gone Global conference. I learned so much from the prestigious academic panelists and was so inspired by my co-keynote speaker @suyoung_ryu. Ryu is a prolific actor in K-Dramas / Movies and most recently known for his starring role in Bloodhounds. As his “side gig”, he is passionate about food and has a viral cooking show— he is getting Korean men into the kitchen learning how to cook!  What a feat!  He also focuses on creating simple meals on a budget, accessible to everyone. 
.
At the conference I spoke about my personal journey into the kitchen and the rise of the Korean “Hallyu” wave. 
It was such an honor to share my views and story with the Stanford community.  Thank you for having me. 🙏🙏
