@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageBack in the @todayshow kitchen for a Fan Fest Edition of @todayfood — this time sponsored by @WholeFoods and inspired by our amazing viewers! 💛

We’re serving up one of Korea’s most beloved dishes — Korean Fried Chicken, in bite-sized form. 🍗🇰🇷

Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in an umami-packed sauce that’s equal parts sweet, spicy, and addictive.

Chef tip: the secret to that signature crunch? Add a good glug of 40% alcohol (something flavorless like vodka) to your batter to prevent gluten development and keep every bite light, crisp, and golden. ✨

The same batter works beautifully with cauliflower, mushrooms, or prawns, (anything!) so you can fry up your favorite twist at home so get creative!

Such a joy cooking alongside @craigmelvinnbc, @dylandreyernbc, and @sheinelle_o— and sharing a little Seoul with the TODAY audience. 💛

Huge thanks to the incredible @TodayFood and @nbcnews teams for the warm welcome and magic behind the scenes — and a special shoutout to @madelinethekitchen for making it all come together! 👏

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageBlind taste test, orchard edition. 👀🍐

We lined up five of @subarashiikudamono’s exclusive hand crafted Asian pear varieties and asked Farmer Tyler — our Chief Pear Officer — to put his taste buds to the test. Each one is uniquely grown and developed in Pennsylvania, resulting in its own flavor, texture, and story.

One bite in, and he nailed it: EliSan, JunoSan, Asaju, RuthiSan, AnaSan! Golden, crisp, and naturally sweet — perfected through decades of care and craftsmanship. ✨

(For the record… EliSan might just be my favorite. 😉)

Proof that true quality can be tasted. 🌳💛

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageLondon’s only authentic yakitori experience 🇯🇵🔥

An unforgettable meal at @junsei_uk — where every skewer and small plate is kissed by Binchōtan charcoal.

Nestled in Marylebone, Junsei brings Tokyo’s yakitori vibe straight to London.

Highlights: Grilled chicken thighs skewers– loved the crispy skin kissed with smoke
Steamed langoustine chawanmushi egg custard– silky and indulgent
Cracking chicken skin crisps– crispy addictive delight
Slow cooked sea bream clay pot– savory, fragrant with tender fish

Every bite was truly delish, delicate, and unforgettable… I have been a fan of Junsei for a long time now… they totally deserve a @michelinguide star.  

Sit at the bar for the full experience, it is always incredible watching the team create perfection! @chefamanlakhiani talent shines through the smoke!

A true taste of Japan, right here in London. 🇯🇵❤️‍🔥

And, now that they are open late on the weekends – you’ll know where to find me!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWarning: these might ruin all other mozzarella sticks for you. 🧀🔥

These “Seoul Hot” Mozzarella Sticks are crispy, golden, and dunked in fiery gochugaru oil.

Think @chilis viral Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks — but with that bold, spicy Korean twist. 🇰🇷

Cheesy, crunchy, and unapologetically addictive… this is comfort food with Seoul.

Perfect for game day, late-night cravings, or whenever you need a little Seoul in your snack.

Fair warning: one bite and you’ll never go back to the classic.

Tag your cheese-obsessed friend and tell me — are you Team Classic or Team Spicy Seoul?👇

Drop a “🧀” for the recipe!
