Seoul Food: Oi-Muchim and Dubu-jangjji

I recently discovered the amazing Korean food goddess, Maangchi! Today I decided to make her spicy seasoned cucumber salad, called Oi-Muchim and her pickled tofu, dubu-jangajji.

I love her enthusiasm for the Korean culture of food, and these recipes were so quick and easy! Often at family gatherings, food is the one universal language that pulls us all together. So what better way for this adoptee to feel closer to the motherland than by cooking some of it's traditional dishes?
