A Korean-style
New Year
Tips from Chef Sue
SUE (SUNCHA) BAKER, the energetic
owner of Sue's Korean Kitchen, a small
restaurant located in a quiet plaza at 74
Portsmouth Ave. in Stratham, knows
all about preparing traditional foods to
celebrate the holidays. Known as Seollal,
Korean New Year is a three-day affair that
will be celebrated this year from January
28 to 30. Dates are determined by the
lunar calendar and vary each year.
"
A common misconception
is that Korean food is
too complicated and is
difficult to prepare, but this
is only true for traditional
Korean dishes.
"
Chef Sue has worn many hats: chef, sous
chef, host, marketing director and now,
culinary instructor. Her food-focused journey
began in Pohang, Korea, where she
learned to cook under her grandmother's
loving guidance. In her 20s, she moved
to the States, carrying with her a deep
passion for food. Her experience cooking
for her large family and volunteering in
her community blossomed into a love for
sharing authentic and creative Korean
cuisine with the public.
For six years, Sue served a loyal following
of customers, but now she has
a new goal in mind: transforming the
restaurant into an instructional kitchen
and teaching others how to prepare
Korean food. This new chapter in her
life will allow the public to experience
hands-on cooking with her guidance. She
says it is an opportunity for people to
not only cook but also to bond with each
other. What better way to do that than
with food?
Mary Ann Esposito [MAE]: What are some
classic dishes Koreans prepare for the
Lunar holiday?
Sue Baker [SB] : A few classic dishes
are Tteokguk, Bulgogi, Mandoo, Jeon
(pancake) and Japchae.
MAE: Why do you think there is such
an interest now in Korean food?
SB: I believe Korean cuisine offers a
unique blend of flavors and colors that
are different from many traditional
American foods. Also, there is increased
interest in Korean cuisine due to pop
culture gaining popularity in music and
movies such as K-pop and K-dramas.
