This simple Korean seasoned vegetable dish (Sigeumchi namul) is made with fresh spinach and seasoned with Korean fermented bean paste (Doenjang). In Korean restaurants, it is usually served with Korean BBQ, spicy foods, or kimbap.

Air fryer salsa roja recipe 🌶
We will make a very simple roasted salsa Roja (red salsa) cooked in an air fryer for today’s recipe. This recipe is better than what you will find at most Americanized Mexican restaurants. The best part is you can adjust it to your taste. If you are like my Wife and think cilantro is soapweed, then leave it out.
This is an updated recipe with better pictures and more information that I have learned from making this recipe several times.
Vegan kimchi recipe
I have been eating kimchi for a long time. But usually, we buy it. Most kimchi in the Korean markets have seafood, including shellfish; as someone who suffers from gout, shellfish is off the menu.
Gout safe vegetable soup 🧄
I can and do eat soups year-round. However, when it comes to stews, I prefer them in cold weather. But that is not a law, but in hot weather, lighter food is the way to go.

Soy Curls in salsa verde 🌶
I love Mexican salsa verde, the kind made with slightly tart tomatillos. It’s a very versatile salsa. You can throw everything in a blender raw, blend, and serve, or you can roast over an open fire. The most common method is to blister on a plancha (flat grill) or dry pan.

Yeolmu mul kimchi is a refreshing summertime dish. It’s not a spicy dish but goes great with spicy foods. To keep it gout friendly and vegan, this version is made without fish sauce.
Korean spicy cucumber salad oi-muchim 🥒
This simple Korean cucumber salad is the perfect side dish to serve at home. It is very a very common side dish at Korean restaurants. Some people even call this cucumber kimchi (I used to), but technically it is not kimchi. Since it is quickly prepared, not normally fermented, and can be eaten fresh, it’s not kimchi. But whatever you call it is a delicious recipe.
You can let this dish ferment before eating if you wish to do so. However, the cucumbers quickly lose their crunch and become mushy.
Sweet and sour seitan recipe 🥡
Updated Oct 14, 2019
I am a big fan of sweet and sour dishes. But not the kind you find at most Chinese American Buffet places. Most of those are just sweet. But as a gout sufferer, fried pork is definitely not on the menu.
Roasted sheet pan okra 🥄
I am a sucker for fried okra. Growing up in the South, we fry everything, and for a good reason. Suppose it’s fried it’s good. But fried okra is not the healthiest dish. The great thing is okra is great cooked other ways. Except boiled, I can not eat that.
Vegan fish sauce
Traditional fish sauce is made with anchovies and salt. The more modern brands include ingredients like MSG, caramel, and other food additives. None of these are good for someone who suffers from gout.

Chickpea no tuna salad recipe 🍞
Growing up, a tuna fish sandwich was not my favorite thing to eat. My Mom loved them and made them quite often. Eventually, I started to like them.
Cauliflower taco “meat” recipe 🥑
A simple but tasty plant-based taco/burrito filling recipe. Cauliflower, mushrooms, and pecans give a nice, almost meaty flavor to the tacos.
How to grow mung bean sprouts 🥗
Since I live in an area without large Asian market-fresh bean sprouts are impossible to buy. My best option is to grow them. This is how I grow mung bean …
Korean spicy tofu wings 🥢
Who doesn’t love spicy chicken wings? My favorites are the Korean ones with spicy or yangnyeom sauce. In Korean these are 두부 양념 치킨. To keep this gout friendly we will substitute extra firm tofu for wings. The sauce will have enough flavor to keep this from being a boring tofu recipe. Tofu cooked in this style is called Dubu-gangjeong (두부강정)

Eating spicy chicken makes it easy to drink lots of beer. But since I have gout eating lots of fried chicken and drinking beer is off the menu. But I still like the flavor of KFC or Korean fried chicken. This recipe satisfies the urge for KFC and is gout friendly.

Vegetable chow mein🥢
