UPDATED WITH MORE RECIPES
Even though American football hasn't caught on in Korea the way baseball has, it does have its share of manly man foods that would be at home at a Superbowl party. Fiery BulDalk, Soondae Bokkeum, JokBal--those would work well. I don't have recipes for those yet, and I won't rehash my infamous Deep Fried Beer (oh, I guess I just did). But we do have an ample set of game day recipes with a Korean touch for some extra spice and flavor at your Superbowl festivities.
And you know a simple way to add a touch of Korea to any game party or any type of party? Lay out your veggie platter and add ssamjang (the stuff in the green tub) and doenjang (the brown tub stuff) as dips. You can even make a faux gochujang aioli by mixing a creamy mayo (Korean Ottogi brand works best) with garlic, lemon, and gochujang (the red tub stuff). Zesty!
Korean Fried Chicken
You can see our experiments or if you don't feel like frying grab some chicken at the local chicken joint and toss it in our yangnyeom sauce.
Buttered Gochujang Chicken Wings
This is one of my favorite things to eat when my wife isn't home. The gochujang gives them a deeper taste than traditional hot sauce, along with a lingering heat to help stave off that snowpocalypse.
Fencerider's Korean Redneck Wings
We can't put our wings on without mentioning the original Fencerider Wings. A little sweeter than ours but still as hot.
Korean Fried Chicken Nuggets
Or just go boneless with Tammy's chicken nugget recipe.
Kimchi Quesadillas
Before the Ko-Mex craze hit America, I posted this little recipe, and people thought I was crazy. Well, maybe they're right, but I was also right about how good this was.
Bulgogi Quesadillas with Smoky Gochujang Aioli and Korean Pear Salsa
And if you want to go a little upscale, try this prize-winning recipe. Yeah, seriously. I won W1,000,000 (~$930 USD) with this dish.
Korean Tacos--2 Ways
We round out our Ko-Mexican dishes with Tammy's two versions of Korean tacos.
Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich

They don't have to be quail eggs, but adding a little stir-fried kimchi to your deviled egg recipe gives them a satisfying kick.
Ultimate Rabokki
Go the street food route with the junkiest of Korean junk foods
Nurungji Chips
Shin's rice chips are truly addictive.
Soy-Doenjang Steak Marinade
Better than Dale's. I'll just say that.

This is one of the first recipes we posted on the ZKFJ. Shrimp is cooked on a bed of hot salt, making the shells so crispy you don't need to peel them.
Asian Spiced Fried Almonds
Not necessarily Korean, this is more in line with Spanish tapas but with some Chinese and Korean flavors.
Spicy Stir-fried Anchovies
Take these little guys and put them alongside some mixed nuts and chopped dried fruit for beer snacks.

This is more of a hangover breakfast. Kimchi, bacon and cheese--tastes so good!

Mini Tuna Pancakes
These low-fat treats are packed with flavor
Korean Tuna Melt
Korean grocery stores have different flavors of canned tuna. This takes advantage of the spicy flavored ones.

Ojingeo sundae! Now we're getting into street food territory. This is easy to eat for partiers.
HoTteok
This sweet street food treat satisfies our cravings for grease and sugar. Great handheld dessert or try it a la mode.

Satisfy that sweet tooth with the surprisingly logical mix of sweetened red beans and chocolate
Yuja Soju Tincture
Technically illegal in California, but we won't tell if you won't.
