Chef Ickbeom Kwon is serving up a whole host of authentic Korean dishes at Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi. The new Korean chef joined the Silk Route Café to help cook up some popular native favourites – including the beef bulgogi – as part of the hotel’s weekly Korean nights.
“This is a delicious and wonderfully easy recipe to recreate at home. It is personally one of my favourite dishes – to make – and to eat!” he says.
