What's yang-yum?

Yang-yum is the Corean word for marinade! This blog will offer my mother's wonderful home-cooked Corean meals. These dishes are a cultural legacy and a way for me to connect with my ancestors, to honor them, and to take care of my health. I will keep adding recipes as I learn them!
