@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome to K-Viral Kitchen — where internet-breaking bites from Korea get the @judyjoochef treatment. 💥✨

Kicking things off with a personal fave: Pa-dak Jeon — a crispy spring onion & chicken pancake 🇰🇷 that’s equal parts crunchy, savory, and utterly craveable.

This dish went full viral after K-singer Lee Chan-won (@mee_woon_sanae) shared it on Korean TV — and trust me, one bite and you’ll be hooked too. Juicy chicken nestled into a spicy chili-studded batter, finished with fresh sexy scallions a tangy soy dipping sauce that sings.

It’s comfort food with a crunch. Late-night munchies? Sorted.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile image🔥 Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi-bokkeum-bap)

Part of my K-Quick Recipe Series — quick, bold Korean dishes from my newest cookbook!

The ultimate fridge-cleanout meal — with serious Seoul 🔥🍳

My take on this classic uses leftover rice, bold umami filled seasoning, and a cheeky little spoonful of mayo for creaminess (trust me!). Top with scallions and gochugaru — and dinner’s done and delicious. 

What’s your must-add protein in kimchi fried rice? Shrimp? Spam? Egg? Tofu? 👀👇
I always add a fried egg… and toss in some prawns.  Delish.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageJuly’s off to a sizzling start 🇺🇸🌭🇬🇧

Honored to join Ambassador Warren @us_amb_uk and friends at this year’s Independence Day celebration at Winfield House — where diplomacy came with a side of hot dogs, @jackdaniels_us & @cocacola, and a surprise appearance from a life-sized @wendys Frosty.

Grateful for the warm hospitality and a chance to celebrate American roots in the heart of London — through food, friendship, and a whole lot of flavor.

Note to self: next time, bring kimchi for the hot dogs. 🌭🌶️

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhat I Ate at the @henleyroyalregatta🍓🥂

Pulled up in serious style thanks to @genesis_europe — smooth sailing from the start, and the day just kept getting better. 💫

Lunch? A masterclass in indulgence. Wye Valley asparagus dressed up with truffle aioli, perfectly pink lamb with fondant potato, and generous helpings of BYOCaviar (shoutout to @kingsfinefood1 for the pearls ✨). Followed by a raspberry and white chocolate “pebble” that looked more like sculpture than dessert. Almost too pretty to eat… almost. Finished with a stunning British cheese board and flowing Nyetimber and Pimms, of course. When in Regatta mode!

We floated along the Thames on a post-lunch boat ride (dreamy), with live music and the most elegant afternoon tea to top it all off. British summer, you beauty.

Now manifesting a @seoulbirduk riverside stand next year—because fried chicken and champagne? Name a better duo. 😌🍗🍾

Big love to @genesis_europe for the luxe lift, and to @sodexolive for the five-star hospitality and unforgettable day.
