Good to know
How long do these take?
Half are done in about 33 minutes. The quickest is around 20 minutes and the longest about 90 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.
Are these authentic Korean recipes?
No, and we do not claim they are. These are dishes built on Korean ingredients and technique by the Delicious kitchen, which is why the pages say Korean-style rather than Korean. They are written to taste right and to work in a home kitchen, not to be a record of traditional cooking.
Is every recipe here high protein?
Every recipe in this collection is written without ingredients that break a high protein diet. We cannot vouch for the brands in your cupboard or for cross-contamination in your kitchen, so check labels as you normally would.
How many calories are in these?
Most land between 348 and 1078 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.
