In Korean, that magic touch is called sohn-mat, or “hand taste”—and it’s not something you have to be born with. Esther Choi picked hers up from her halmoni, or grandmother, who used her hands for everything from smearing cabbage with pepper paste to make kimchi to crumbling tofu for mandu (dumpling) filling and tossing vibrantly flavored noodles for japchae.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand taste starts with seasoning but ultimately describes a way of cooking rooted in heritage, intuition, and heart. Here, Choi offers delicious entry points to Korean cuisine, with foundational techniques alongside quick weeknight recipes and show-stopping traditional spreads.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHand Taste\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis as instructive as it is expressive, with recipes like \u003cb\u003eKalbi Jjim\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapchae\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eKimchi Mac \u0026amp; Beef\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eHalmoni’s Jeon,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eKorean Fried Chicken Wings\u003c\/b\u003e.
