Hey PH! 👋 I'm the maker of KRecipes.
The idea came from a frustrating personal experience — I'd find an amazing Korean cooking video on YouTube, but the recipe would be buried in Korean-language comments or a messy video description, with no ingredient amounts and no way to jump to a specific step.
So I built KRecipes: paste any Korean cooking YouTube URL, and the app uses AI to extract a fully structured recipe in seconds — ingredients with substitutes for hard-to-find items (like gochujang or doenjang), scaled servings, and timestamps so you can jump directly to any cooking step.
A few things I'm especially proud of:
Honest substitutes — it doesn't just say "skip it," it tells you what actually works
Serving scaler — drag to double or halve, all quantities update live
Jump-to-step — click a step, the video seeks to that exact moment
No fabrication — if the video isn't a recipe (mukbang, food vlog, etc.), the app says so instead of making something up
The app is free to use. You can save recipes to your account and share them directly.
Would love your feedback — especially from anyone who's tried (and struggled) to cook Korean food from YouTube!

Great news — we've actually just added this! You can now search for videos by keyword on YouTube directly from krecipes, and if you have a photo of a dish, you can upload it to identify what it is and find related videos. Give it a try!

Tried it with a random tteokbokki video and the jump-to-timestamp feature actually saved me from rewatching the whole thing three times. The local substitutes suggestion for gochugaru was a nice touch too, didn’t realize I could swap in something from my usual grocery store.

@cosanalper66074 This is exactly what we built it for! 🎉 Glad the timestamps saved you from the rewatch spiral. And yes — the substitute suggestions are one of our favorites too. A lot of Korean ingredients have better local alternatives than people realize. Happy cooking!

Would love to see a built-in grocery list mode that groups ingredients by aisle and lets me check items off as I shop. Would make the jump from watching the video to actually cooking so much smoother.

@metehdea Great suggestion! A shopping list mode that groups ingredients by aisle would really close the gap between watching and actually cooking. That's a natural next step we've been thinking about too — adding it to the roadmap!

Being able to save recipes offline or export them to a notes app would be really useful when I'm at the grocery store without signal.

@brendendil31604 Great point! Exporting to notes apps (or even a simple PDF/text save) so you can cook offline is a really practical ask. Adding it to our list!

Pasted a random mukbang video and it pulled out the actual recipe with working timestamp links to each step, which honestly felt like magic. The local substitutes section saved me from buying gochujang I wouldn't use again.

@berktrh4 Ha, the mukbang-to-recipe pipeline is one of our favorite surprises too — turns out a lot of mukbang creators actually cook on camera! And yes, the substitutes section is exactly for that: no more half-used jars of ingredients you bought once. Happy cooking!

honestly this is the kind of tool i wish existed a year ago, jumped to a random maangchi vid and it pulled out the ingredients and timestamps like 2 seconds flat, super clean.

@halimepw1r That means a lot — Maangchi videos are basically the gold standard for Korean cooking content, so hearing it works well there is a great sign! The 2-second part is something we obsessed over, glad it shows. Hope it makes your next cook smoother
