And with the @nyknicks in the NBA Finals, MSG has never been louder — or better fed. 
There’s something deeply satisfying about 20,000 New Yorkers eating Korean fried chicken while cheering on their team. That’s the Seoul Bird dream, right there.

So honored to be featured in @womanaroundtown, sharing a little of my story — from Columbia engineering grad to Wall Street, to walking away from it all to go to culinary school (my parents were horrified), to cooking at Michelin-starred kitchens, to becoming the first female Iron Chef UK. 

None of it was the plan. All of it was worth it.

Seoul Bird was born from a love of Korean street food — and a belief that it deserved a global stage. From London to New York, we’re just getting started.

And yes — there’s a new book (my 4th!) coming in Nov— “Mukja: Let’s Eat!”
Head to WomanAroundTown.com for the full interview. 
Go Knicks!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageBack in my K-Quick Kitchen — and today we’re giving McDonald’s fried apple pies the Korean glow-up they deserve.
Apple Pie Mandu (dumplings), yeah baby!

 Dumplings have been showing up in Korean royal cookbooks since at least the 14th century, when they were considered a luxurious dish served during festivals and celebrations. 

Today, “mandu” come in countless shapes — half-moon, round, pleated, pinched — and are stuffed with everything from kimchi and pork to tofu and glass noodles.

So why not stuff them with apple pie filling? The beauty of mandu is the wrapper — that thin, snappy skin crisps up like a DREAM when fried, giving you a shatter-crisp shell that rivals the Golden Arches.

Here’s my K-Quick move:
To save time—Start with pre-made apple pie filling, but pimp it out: a squeeze of lemon, fresh apples, a hit of cinnamon, maybe a splash of bourbon or rum if you’re feeling fancy. Trust me, adding a few fresh ingredients makes all the difference.

Wrap a spoonful inside a dumpling wrapper, seal those edges tight, and fry until golden, blistered, and gorgeous.
Finish with a generous toss in cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm.

Eat them straight up while they’re piping hot, or pile them over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ULTIMATE sundae moment. There’s truly no wrong answer here.

A true American classic, reimagined the K-Quick way — warm, tart, crispy, sweet, and absolutely made for sharing.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageThe news is finally out — My new book, “Mukja: Let’s Eat!” is coming out in stores November 10th.

I’ve taken the most iconic food moments from K-Pop and K-Dramas and turned them into recipes you can actually make at home. We’re talking Jungkook’s late-night spicy noodles, Rosé-inspired creamy tteokbokki, and over 80 recipes spanning noodles, stews, street food, barbecue, and sweets. 

If you’ve ever paused a K-Drama just to stare at a bowl of noodles or dumplings on screen… this one’s for you 🍜
This book is my love letter to the Korean Wave and everything it’s done to bring Korean food to the world. It’s a cookbook, yes, but really it’s a way to bring those on-screen and on-stage moments into your own kitchen– to taste the culture for yourself. 

“Mukja: Let’s Eat!” drops November 10th — link in bio to pre-order ❤️
