About Damn Delicious®
Damn Delicious® was simply a hobby, but now it’s my full-time job.
Coming from a very traditional Korean household, I was destined to be one of three things: a lawyer, a dentist or a doctor. So as a grad school hobby, I created a Tumblr account in April 2011 to document some of my favorite recipes. I had one reader, making less than $0.30 per month.
But 14 years later, Damn Delicious® has grown into something that I never thought possible. I have connected with readers all over the world, conquered so many culinary feats in my kitchen, and collaborated with brands that I always dreamed to work with.
Damn Delicious has even grown into an amazing team of individuals working together to create the best possible recipes. We create recipes, step-by-step tutorials, and videos that focus on quick and easy meals for the everyday home cook to show you that it really doesn’t take much to make a homemade meal completely from scratch.
Damn Delicious® is a registered trademark of Chungah Rhee.

I will try the shrimp with garlic!
Going to try and make your Chinese Chicken Salad tonight
Your recipes look great! Can’t wait to try the Shrimp In Garlic Sauce! I was a good cook myself, but burned out after years of cooking! You have inspired me to get into cooking again! My husband will be thrilled! Thank you sooo much!
Stumbled upon your Easy Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry by accident . Made it twice now – it is so delicious!! So now I am hooked on your website. Can’t wait to try more. Also l
LOVE your Corgi! Always wanted one.
You had me at corgi! But I love your recipes and will be back often to check things out!
betty
I’ve been having the best time trying new recipes ever since I stumbled upon your blog. The green curry soup was TO DIE FOR. I can’t wait to make it for my parents next time I visit. Thank you! 🙂
Chungah, When I printed off the recipe for your Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli, I cropped off the bottom couple of lines which went onto a second page and then realized your “Damn Delicious” was not on my copy. As a marketer, I suggest adding it at the top, under the recipe title, at the beginning of the “yield, etc” line. Colleen
Hi Chungah,
I’ve enjoyed using your recipes for a couple of years. When I tried to access you chicken sate recipe today I was required to identify myself. Minor irritation I know but wonder why this is required this time .
How odd, Sandra! It’s definitely not required to identify yourself to view recipes unless you are leaving a comment. 🙂
My daughter and I love your recipes! Additionally, we love Korean and other types of Asian food. Recently we transitioned towards a more low carb lifestyle. (Keto) is it possible that in the future you could take some of your more popular recipes and “KETO-FY’ them? So many many people are transitioning to low-carb, and yet have an affinity for Asian cuisine, which you have mastered.
Specifically in the very near future, can you do a simple recipe for how to bake homemade Gochujang? It appears to be an essential element in many Korean dishes. So the ability to make a low-carb version that is suitable for the keto lifestyle would be fabulous. But, request is formally made for low-carb recipes in and among your many delicious offerings. Thank you very much.
Hello Chungah, I’m glad I stumbled across your site.
I’m kinda between a rock and a hardplace. I lived in Japan for my 4 high school years, and for being a young twit, I came away with some good living experiences . I Traveled to Korea and loved the food, little by little Korean dishes started to appear in Japan on local menus. One of the dishes was beef Bulgogi. I was hooked badly. My dad even bought a Bulogi brass table top grill.
My problem is that what I had in Korea and Japan is not even close to the dishes here. I mean the dishes here are okay, just not as good. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. There are ZERO Asian restaurants of any denomination here in south Florida. So if your looking to become a millionaire for real, move here. We fly to Wash D.C. 4 times a year to eat at” Peking Gourmet Inn”. The owners have been my friends for 40 years and I’ve tried to talk them into opening a place here, but they’re getting burnt out and not interested. They started out with 10 tables and now seat 500. They sell 3000 plus Peking Duck at $50 a pop over the weekend. Many of their customers don’t even order duck! Go figure. Actually Google their menu for fun. Yes, they are millionaires over and over. Here the Asian places go out of business faster than you can imagine.
Oh wow – that’s pretty crazy! Perhaps you can find some Asian-inspired recipes here to make the dishes you’ve been craving for so long! 🙂
I am so excited to have found you. Your foil packets will save me from nonstop hot dogs while camping. Thank you!!
Just discovered your recipe for No Knead Rosemary Bread, so will try it for sure
Hi! I honestly don’t know how I stumbled upon your website, but I’m so happy I did. I’ve already found a few recipes I plan on trying out asap, namely your instant pot chili and slow cooker butter chicken. I also plan on getting your cookbook.
Best of luck to you!
Good Morning,
I just purchased Damn Delicious Meal prep from Costco. It was a total impulse buy and I absolutely love it. I even got my husband on board with working together on the weekend doing meal prep. I do have one question. I see on the front cover, there is a noodle meal prep dish in the middle but I can’t seem to find that recipe in the book. I am interested in cold recipes for my husband work since he is generally not in an area that has a microwave.
Appreciate your reply.
The recipe you are looking for is the whole wheat pad thai bowls – one of my favorites! It is on page 276. 🙂
I just saw that you moved to Chicago this year! On this snowy day on the eve of May, WELCOME! I have been following your site for a few years now — quite by accident, as every recipe I seem to like/pin keeps leading me back to Damn Delicious! I finally decided to read the “about” page and had to chuckle when you said you grew up in traditional Korean household where your destiny seemed to be lawyer, dentist or doctor. I have a Vietnamese mother, so — no surprise — I’m a lawyer, but I love to prepare home-cooked meals as often as possible, with your help! Your success is very inspiring. Thank you for helping everyday folks cook with clear, easy-to-follow, and tasty recipes. I’ll bet your parents are very proud!
I just came across you on this site!!! Enjoying your recipes and printing to take home to try!
Also don’t become a Cubs fan!!!
Where is the recipe for that dip shown above? That looks INCREDIBLE!!
P.S. I LIVE for your shrimp fried rice meal prep recipe! It is my favorite go-to lunch and my 4 year old gobbles the leftovers up. I substituted pork one time and he won’t stop asking for it!
Love this website!!
Here you go, Shanita! It’s SO GOOD! 🙂

I really liked baked zucchini fries. Delicious. Do you think this recipe would work for green beans? Thanks
Sure!
I’ve been online looking for low sodium recipes. I happened to see your cookbook “Damn Delicious Meal Prep: 115 Easy Recipes for Low-Calorie, High Energy Living”. Are your recipes low in sodium content? Thank you!
Yes! Some if not most recipes are low in sodium. 🙂
Jennifer and I would like to know if you can add somewhere on your page your pantry staples? The item every kitchen should have in stock?
