Everybody has phases when it comes to food, myself included. For the past few weeks I have been craving for Korean food.
I just love that wholesome, spicy, sour tastes. Very titillating to palate.
Naturally it got me interested in actually whipping up a few Korean dishes. And so I did….
# – Bibimbap.
My bibimbap has seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned shitake, seasoned cucumber, seasoned spinach and beef bulgogi. All topped off with a sunny side up.
To eat, mix everything up with a spoonful of Korean pepper paste or gochujang.
Learnt a new trick while researching for recipes, to marinade beef with kiwi fruit and a splash of diet coke….my cheap cut of beef was nice and tender after only an hour marinating!
Hubs was very pleased :)
My next goal is to make dol sot bibimbap, but first I need to buy those cute Korean claypots.
For our next dinner I still wanted to eat Korean food so I made it happened.
# – Homemade Korean dishes.
I made scallion pancake with dipping sauce, kimchi jigae with streaky bacon instead of pork belly, seasoned tofu, seasoned shitake (which I sautéed with some bacon bits for good measure lol) and seasoned cucumbers again (love this). Pretty pleased with myself.
As usual I cooked too much food for two T-T Really need to learn to control portioning or have children.
I think I have enough of Korean food for now.
