[ENG] Bibimbap

I suddenly wanted to eat rice with gochujang, but i know it wouldn't be that good with just rice & gochujang so i decided to make bibimbap!  It's pretty simple, but requires  a bit of time & patient to cut & cook all the veggies. And i really love it, it's really tasty and also healthy. It has lots of veggies, so it has become my "vegetable delivery system" since i'm so lazy to eat my vegs by its own lol

I didn't follow the recipe 100%, i just used the veggies that i can find easily at the fresh market, so please  refer to the original recipe for the full measurement (i put the link above the ingredients list). You don't have to use all the veggies listed in the recipe, but at least use 3 kinds of veggies.

By the way, if you're making it for you and your family, you may want to consider doubling (even tripling!) the recipe. Because after all the hardwork cutting & cooking all the veggies & beef i think you'll want to be able to store it and eat at least twice. (or am i just the only one being lazy here? lol) The 1st time,  i made 1 recipe, it's gone in a flash. Then the 2nd time, i doubled the recipe, it's still gone in a flash -.- The 3rd time, i tripled the recipe, it's still gone in just two days... orz

[ENG] Korean Pumpkin Porridge

This korean pumpkin porridge is more a dessert than an appetizer. Unlike the pumpkin soup, it doesn't used any chicken/vegetable stock, so the flavor is pretty much pure pumpkin flavor, and it's also a lot sweeter than a pumpkin soup. The first time i ate this was at a korean restaurant. It has a gooey, thick texture, sweet  with some small mochi on top. And i really like it!

[ENG] Sundubu Jjigae - Korean Soft Tofu Stew + Kimchi Cheese Risotto

Sundubu Jjigae! One of my favorite korean dish, the soft tofu spicy stew.  It's perfect for a cold or rainy day. I've made this dozen times since i really love it and it's actually pretty simple to make :) This recipe is really the 'basic' (and slightly cheated) Sundubu Jjigae , but if you feel extra challenged, you can add bunch of stuff like some veggies & seafood.

I love Korean food. It started since I watched many Korean dramas, especially those that have scenes of the characters eating Korean cuisines. If you ever watch k-drama like Let's Eat, you'll be drooling over some Korean foods that look super delicious. Name it, ramyeon, bibimbap, budae jjigae, those marinated raw crab, pork meat wrapped in lettuce, plus the way they eat...  SLURP! You'll be like, "I wanna eat that! Right now!"

[ENG] Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Base Stew)

Okay, i have a confession. The photo above was not the one i made :(( It was from 2 years ago when i went to a korean restaurant ^^ So, my friends & I had a samgyeopsal party at my place, and we also made this budae jjigae. It was really yummy! I would say the taste's not so different from what i ate in the restaurant, and maybe even better, since we added  a certain "secret ingredient" that i'll reveal in the end of this post kkk...

But i was too busy eating that i didn't any get pretty shots :( And the food was gone in a flash, so nope, there's no way i had time for taking pictures hahaha... These are also the photos at the korean restaurant, just to give you an idea of what budae jjigae is like..

[ENG] Korean BBQ - Samgyeopsal Party

Last Saturday, me & my friends had a samgyeopsal party at my house. Samgyeopsal is basicly a korean pork belly bbq. The pork belly is usually not marinated, but after grilling it, you dip it in a salt-sesame oil mixture and also a savory sauce called ssamjang that's made from hot pepper paste & soy bean paste. There are lots of kind of korean bbq but i particularly love this one since i love meat that has a good layer of fat in it. pork belly just perfect for this. yum. Korean always make their lettuce wrap when they have their bbq, it's a grilled  meat with some sauce and other things wrap with a fresh lettuce leaf. It's so good & you get to eat your veggie too, in a delicious way ;)

[ENG] Say Kimchi !! :D

How do you like your kimchi? I like it really ripe & sour since i usually just put them in when i make jjigae or even when i grill samgyeopsal. I do sometime eat fresh kimchi, and even though i really love spicy food, i prefer my fresh kimchi to be mild & slightly sweet. But i don't know what was going on in my mind, i always end up putting too much red pepper flakes. Like, i need the sauce to be really red lol

yes, like blood red *-*

I really recommend you to use the korean red pepper flakes to get that beautiful red color on your kimchi. It's also taste different from other red pepper flakes, it's not that spicy and "slightly sweet".
