a little crunchy outside, a little tender inside ~ Korean jeon with potato and buchimgae with Korean squash
I’m not sure how I happened upon Kimchimari last night, but since I found it I can’t stop reading (and drooling)! With the explosion of Korean squash in the garden and a few oldish potatoes hanging out until we harvest our own, I had all the makings for these deceptively simple, savory Korean fritters (or pancakes) called gamjajeon and hobak buchimgae respectively.
The recipes come from Kimchimari — I’m just putting pics up here because I love the look of the fresh fritters, white and green and crispy golden brown. They were a perfect taste treat dipped in a little soy sauce and rice vinegar, with a splash of sesame oil.
Thank you JinJoo!
tasty and crispy potato and korean squash fritters!
The pickling cukes are still running strong, with Straight Eights just beginning to produce. Next in line is this beautiful cucumber kimchi!

There’s plenty of produce to go around S — which I will gladly share — but the tomatoes seem to be a bit lackluster this year lol

🙂 …. tomatoes costed us a bomb a few months ago for us in India ….maybe your plants got hear about it 🙂
Oh my, S — I read about this and I can’t imagine a tomato shortage there — reminds me of the blight here on the East Coast back in 2009. I hope the tomatoes are making a comeback now! 🙂
