Often while watching TV or scrolling through social media, there may be a Korean dish that catches your eye, and the desire to make and taste it arises. It can feel intimidating to try a recipe from another culture because of the unfamiliar ingredients, or cooking methods, and not knowing if you are doing the steps correctly.
Luckily, with the power of the internet, finding videos that walk you through each step along with helpful tips is a simple task. For those who have a flair for cooking already, Instagram videos are perfect to watch. The time-lapse videos give a brief overview of what to do, and easy access to the steps in the description, allows you to start in no time!
Now let’s check out 5 cooking Instagram accounts that will get you cooking!
