    Korean Breakfast Foods. Katie and I were surprised by the popularity of our first breakfast-themed recipe. We had to come back with another round of delicious breakfast foods 😉

    Skip to Recipe

    Similar to our last recipe, these Korean breakfast foods have no meat (well, besides the egg). Rather, we focus on vegetables – so its easy on the stomach in the morning. In this recipe, we also threw in a light egg-potato soup. It is common to have soup for a Korean breakfast, along with a bowl of rice and a few banchans.

    I would recommend making these banchans at night and reheating in the morning. Each banchan will take 10-15 minutes, which could easily add up in the morning. Please note that the egg soup and oyster banchan tastes better reheated – but the spinach banchan tastes best cold. If you have  any leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator and they should stay good for up to a week.

    Some cooking notes: You can save alot of time with the soup if you use anchovy-dashima stock bags. Alternatively, you can also use vegetable stock. If you go with the veggie stock, use one that is neutral in flavor (not too salty).

    Enjoy and we wish you a great start to the day!

Place the seasoned spinach in a plate and garnish with extra sesame seeds. Eat with rice. Store leftovers in Tupperware and place in the refrigerator.

    Oyster Mushroom Stirfry Banchan

    • Cut the stems off the oyster mushroom. Then separate each mushroom with your fingers. Next, cut the onion into thin slices. Cut two thin rectangle pieces off the carrot (reference video) and cut into thin slices. Julienne bell pepper piece and spring onion as well.
    • Bring a pot up to boil with water. Quickly blanche the oyster mushrooms for 30 seconds. Run them under cold water afterwards. Then squeeze out the water from the mushrooms with your hands (2-3 squeezes).
    • Put a frying pan on medium heat. Place in cooking oil. Once hot, place the mushrooms in. When they turn slightly brown, add in carrots and bell peppers. Season them with minced garlic, salt and black pepper. Give a good stir them so they get evenly coated. Then add in the green onions and give them one final coat. Turn off the heat. Eat with rice.

Then place in the water. Place dashima (kombu) pieces in. When water comes back up to boil, remove the dashima pieces. Reduce heat to a medium and let him simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, place through a sift or kitchen towel. Set clean broth aside.

Once potatoes are soft, place egg mixture into the soup - in a circular motion. Then use a soup ladle to remove the bubbles that form on the surface. Turn off the heat. Place in spring onion. Season with soup soy sauce, salt and black pepper. Eat with rice.
