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?👇

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to K-Viral Kitchen with Judy Joo — where I share the dishes that broke the internet. 💥

The French Dip is having a major moment in NYC — from @salt_hank TikTok famous version to Hillstone’s cult classic. 👀🥖

So of course, I had to give it a Korean twist.
Meet my Bulgogi French Dip 🇰🇷🔥

Salty, sweet, juicy beef marinated in pear, soy, and sesame — piled high with melty provolone, tangy kimchi, and a rich bulgogi broth for dipping.

Crispy bread, sweet-spicy beef, umami-packed jus… pure comfort with a Seoulful kick. 💛

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageEver had a pear so juicy it drips down your arm? 🍐✨

That’s what you get at @SubarashiiKudamono — home to the most incredible Asian pears.

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting their Pennsylvania orchard three times now and each visit reminds me just how special these pears are.

I picked pears straight from the trees, rode on a tractor through the orchard, and built a charcuterie board worthy of this sweet, crisp fruit. From the orchard to the table, every pear is grown with such love and care — and trust me, once you taste one, you’ll understand why I keep coming back. 💛

These are truly one of my favorite fruits — juicy, sweet, fragrant, and even packed with a natural enzyme that helps tenderize meat (a little chef’s secret for your next BBQ 🔥).

Honey sweet, crisp, golden, and perfect for gifting (or for treating yourself!)

@judyjoochef Instagram profile image추석 Happy Chuseok! 🌕✨

What is Chuseok? It literally means “autumn evening.” 🍂

Also called Hangawi (한가위), it’s one of Korea’s oldest and most cherished holidays — a celebration of harvest, family, and gratitude that dates back over 2,000 years.

Every year on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon shines brightest, families gather to honor their ancestors, share stories, and cook an incredible feast. It’s often called the “Korean Thanksgiving.”

The Chuseok table is a dream for any food lover.  A number of dishes are shared over this holiday, but the common are:

🥟 Songpyeon (송편) — half-moon rice cakes stuffed with various sweet fillings, steamed over pine needles for their delicate aroma.
🥞 Jeon (전) — savory pancakes, pan-fried golden.
🍜 Japchae (잡채) — glass noodles tossed with vegetables.
🍖 Galbijjim (갈비찜) — braised short ribs in sweet-savory soy.

When I was young, I loved eating songpyeon — stealing sweet bites before eating my dinner! 

Wishing everyone a wonderful, abundant Chuseok filled with love, laughter, and plenty of delicious food. 🌕
