INDEX

There is a real menu that 360,000 Instagram followers love!
The 100 Most Saved and Liked Menus on Okjubu's Instagram

Preparing three meals a day for your family by hand is a task that goes beyond the simple concept of 'labor' or 'love'.
From a labor perspective alone, could there be anything more tiring and boring than this?
After setting up, I clean up, and when I turn around, I set up again… .


And that's not all.
It's no easy task to decide what to eat for every meal.
Before Okdongja Jeong Jong-cheol lived as Okjubu, that is, when he lived with the titles of head of the household, father, and husband, he could not even imagine this value.
I thought that making money was the most valuable thing for my family.


But I learned this while preparing meals for my family every day, 365 days a year.
That this is an act of more value than love.
And now that I know its value, I am definitely a happy person.
Once I realized how important it is to life, and how complete communication with family takes place at the dinner table, a single meal no longer seemed so trivial.

"My family's menu worries are over. Let Okjubu take care of it for you."

If you are a housewife, you mutter to yourself every day, “What should I make for dinner tonight?” There is someone who can completely solve this recurring worry.
Okdongja, Jeong Jong-cheol, who is now more familiar with 'Okjubu'.
He has been saying on his Instagram for the past eight years, “I’ll decide what you eat today.
“Just follow me!” he shouted.
A man who says, “Let’s have some spicy stir-fried octopus!” on a day with a lot of fine dust, “How about some filling perilla dumplings?” on a chilly early fall day, “Let’s make some rose tteokbokki with rice” on a rare weekend with the kids, and “Let’s have some acorn jelly and a glass of makgeolli!” on a late night out.
The menu suggestions of Ok Ju-bu, the 'real' head of the household, a meticulous husband and father of three, somehow come across as sincere.


What is the most popular menu on Okjubu's Instagram?
The menu introduced by Okjubu falls into the category of 'everyday food that appears on our table every day.'
Just rice, soup, stew, side dishes, late-night snacks, special dishes, etc.
I've featured hundreds of menus on Instagram, but there was one that my followers liked the most and copied the most!
The menu items that received the most 'likes' are the 'eye-catching' menu items that will make your mouth water the moment you see them.
For example, this includes marinated whelk, stir-fried pork, bibim noodles, and soft tofu stew.
The story goes that 360,000 followers continuously pressed 'like' on the menu, which is mainly red and has the title 'A Taste I Know'.

So then, what is the concept of ‘save’?
It means to save up seasoned crab, cucumber soup, pickled vegetables, japchae, stir-fried anchovies, etc. and to try this menu soon.
Due to the nature of Instagram business accounts, only the administrator (Okjubu) can know how many menus have been saved.
Since 'save' and 'like' seem similar but have different meanings, Ok Joo-bu analyzed big data through Instagram Insights and compiled a list of the 100 Best of Best based on numbers.
We also included menus that people actually tried and received comments saying, "This is really delicious."
This book is a collection of essential, top-rated menu items and their detailed recipes.

Now you don't have to struggle to find past posts on Instagram.
Because Okjubu kindly scraped everything into the book.
If you master just 100 recipes from the book, you will be able to make decent home-cooked meals for twelve months of the year.


The key to cooking is flavor! It has to be easy and delicious.
At this point, you might be thinking, 'I'm not a follower of Okjubu's Instagram...', 'Why are people so crazy about Okjubu's recipes?'
Ok Joo-bu confidently says, “Just try making one dish like I did!”

The key to Okjubu's cooking is 'taste'.
His cooking philosophy is that cooking must be easy and somehow tasty.
That way, the family will empty their bowls, and that will be a joy, and they will be happy to head to the kitchen the next day.
If the recipe is complicated and requires hard-to-find ingredients, you'll end up giving up on it several times, which can lead to self-blame and stress.
Ok Joo-bu said on Instagram, “Just use the product.
We often say, “It’s good for your mental health,” and that’s not an empty phrase.
To reveal some of his cooking know-how, he buys ingredients that are as well-prepared as possible.
It can prevent situations where you get tired of preparing.
Add a little seasoning for a touch of flavor.
At this time, the seasoning is cleverly mixed with two or more types to maximize the savory taste.
If you are afraid of using seasoning, the atmosphere at your family's dinner table will become heavy.
Also, make a lot at once and store it as emergency food.
A freezer full of emergency food is the housewife's happiness and the peace of the home.
It's also worth trying the trick of making several different menus with one source.
It is wisdom to be able to solve various foods with one effort.


Even beginners will definitely succeed! Cooking portions are perfect.
His ability to prepare three meals a day for a family of five, along with snacks and even late-night meals, stemmed from his well-worn recipe notebook! He meticulously recorded each recipe by hand, re-creating, re-creating, and re-creating again... He meticulously reviewed the taste evaluations of his wife and three children, as well as the likes and dislikes of his followers, and revised the notebook until it was tattered.
Now, his recipe notebook contains accurate cooking quantities.
Thanks to this, we are proud to say that the taste is consistent no matter who makes it.
One follower commented that it tasted exactly like a 'delicious restaurant meal', nothing more, nothing less.
How could anyone not become addicted to the taste that sticks to their mouths?

Even though I tell you everything, there are beginners who still mess up.
Different products taste different.
So, the seasoning brand and product name were disclosed in detail.
Instead of measuring spoons, we measured with rice spoons and paper cups, which every household has.
To help you understand the recipe, photos are provided to illustrate key points during the cooking process.
At the bottom of the recipe, we also included real cooking tips that Okjubu tried herself and wanted to share with 'my people'.
Seriously, it's not easy to ruin a dish like this!

Soup in 10 minutes, a delicacy in 30
The word 'easy' has to do with cooking time.
Okjubu's cooking usually takes about 15 minutes.
Dishes that take no longer than 30 minutes.
If you think it's going to take longer than that, you might as well turn on the delivery app right away.
We all have experienced that having food delivered doesn't taste as good as freshly cooked food at home.
There's no need to make it difficult or complicated.
You just have to let go of the desire to be perfect.
Then it will definitely taste as good as Okjubu's cooking!
It may seem like you need to make broth, but with Okjubu's recipes, you can make soft tofu stew, clam soybean paste stew, and bean sprout soup that taste pretty good in just 10 minutes.
Side dishes like stir-fried anchovies with chili peppers or braised lotus root, as well as soybean paste stew, beef and seaweed soup, and tteokbokki can all be made in 15 minutes! Quail egg stew, braised tofu, pork bulgogi, grilled pollack, janchi noodles, and mac and cheese can all be made in 20 minutes. Even difficult dishes that would easily take over an hour, such as braised mackerel, codfish gangjeong, spicy stir-fried chicken, japchae, cubed radish kimchi, perilla leaf kimchi, and green onion kimchi, can be made in 30 minutes if you just follow Okjubu's instructions.
Okjubu's seasoned crab, which has been popular with many people, can actually be made in just 40 minutes.
Home-cooked meals, there's no reason to avoid them because of a lack of time.
