Description
"When the first H Mart opened in 1982, it was just a humble grocery store in Queens, carrying the most basic of Korean ingredients. In the 43 years since then, the tiny shop has grown into America's largest Asian supermarket chain. And for the nearly 24 million Asian Americans living across the country, the food obsessed, and fans everywhere, H Mart is more than a simple grocery store. It's a place of community, a joyous connection to Korean culture and heritage. Cooking with H Mart is a gorgeous, oversized cookbook and guidebook containing everything a person could ever want to know about H Mart: From its history and profiles to ingredient spotlights and how-tos. The highlight of the book is the 75 home-cook friendly recipes that make the most of H Mart's ingredients. There are classic Korean dishes, like Spicy Cucumber Salad (Oi Muchim), Braised Beef Short Ribs (Galbi Jjim), and Stir-Fried Sweet Potato Noodles (Japchae) as well as unique twists using contemporary flavors. Pizza-Stuffed Fish-Shaped Waffles (Pizza Bunggeobbang) rethinks a popular Korean street food by swapping out the traditional red bean paste with pizza toppings. And Cheesy Kimchi Fried Rice (Cheese Buldak Kimchi Bokkeumbap) combines hot sauce, spicy kimchi, and mozzarella to make a truly addictive comfort meal. Overflowing with brilliantly colored photography and illustrations, charts, and infographics, Cooking with H Mart will help any reader make the most of their next grocery run"--
