Aussie Ellie Won, a.k.a. Kitchen Wench, takes recipe sharing to a whole ‘nother level with her Facebook application Kimchi Restaurant. Click on a dish and you’ll be led to Won’s blog, which is packed with mouth-watering photographs and cooking tips (ie. “Do not make kimchi bokeum bap with freshly-made rice”). “Having grown up as my mother’s sous chef, I thought it was only right to start including some of our family recipes,” says Won, who’s now compiling a book.

This one caters to the starving student in all of us. Peter Park, who’s in law school in Seattle, posts how-to guides for creating cheap and simple Asian fusion dishes such as three-minute hash and bulgogi tuna (it’s from a can). He’s even got instant ramen reviews. Park’s favorite dish to make is Korean pancakes. “Those are so easy and delicious,” he says.

Maangchi not only provides complete recipes for the Korean classics such as mool naengmyun and bibimbap, but also includes video tutorials.
