@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. 💡: @samsunguk

@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. 🌭🌶️ #FourthOfJuly #WinfieldHouse #JudyJoo #judyjoochef #FoodDiplomacy #HotDogSeason #WomenInFood #AmericanInLondon #TasteOfHome #WendysFrosty #JackDaniels #CocaCola #KoreanAmericanChef #kimchi #SummerFood #SummerEats #Summervibes1 day ago via Instagram
@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. #JudyJooChef #JudyJoo #WhatIEatInADay #HenleyRoyalRegatta #GenesisUK #SeoulBird #WomenInFood #BritishSummer #LuxuryEats #ChefLife #RegattaStyle #CaviarOnEverything #BYOCaviar2 days ago via Instagram
@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhen @chowhound asked about my favorite fast food pizza, I didn’t hesitate: @twobootspizza. 💥🍕 That crackly cornmeal crust? Unmatched. Crispy on the outside, chewy through the bite — it’s nostalgic, a little nutty, and totally addictive. Two Boots has been serving NYC attitude by the slice for decades — and I’m still hooked. After a long day at work (or a good cocktail), my go-to was always the same: one plain cheese to check the fundamentals, and one Buckminster for comfort and character. Roasted garlic, spinach, three cheeses… say no more. What I love most? They’ve nailed texture — that golden ratio of crunch to chew is no easy feat. And if I ever got to design my own pie? I’d bring the K-Slice: mozzarella, sautéed kimchi, smoky pork belly. A slice with Seoul. 😉 Because let’s be honest — kimchi belongs on everything (yes, even pizza). Happy to be in good company, talking pizza next to my filming buddies @jeffmauro and @bobbyflay. 🍕👀
