Korean Cuisine

Day 2 of #foodchallenge

I chose Korean cuisine because it’s pretty simple. I just bought the bulgogi sauce for marinated beef and the tofu broth seasoning.

Bulgogi
– sliced beef thinly (it’s easier when the beef are half frozen)
– drowned it in bulgogi sauce for at least an hour (it would be better if you let sit for a night)
– put the cast iron skillet in the high flame, add the beef until half way cooked then turn to medium about 5-10 minutes

Sundubu
– 1/2 lb ground beef (I prefer to grind my own beef in my food processor)
– 1 tsp minced garlic
– 1 tbsp chopped onion
– 1 cup sliced mushrooms
– 1/2 tsp salt
– about 2 cups of water

Saute garlic and onion until fragrant, put in ground beef. stir-fry until browned, then enter the mushrooms and salt. add water, soft tofu, and finally put in the tofu broth seasoning. You can add chopped leek or spring onion if you like.

There are some people who just do not fit in friendship / relationship, despite trying to try to establish a good relationship with. This might be caused by the element of birth or shio (zodiac in china). Indeed, for some people this is nonsense but for others this may be a guide or input.

Jambu, Shoes

I just bought a pairs of the most comfortable shoes ever. I also make a small contribution in maintaining the earth by buying this product. Why?! Because this product uses 100% recycled material. The product name is Jambu and the style is Waterbug. I’ve never heard about this product before, until I found it on my trip to DC last week.

Actually it happen incidentally, because I didn’t plan to go shopping. But I need a  pairs of a comfortable shoes to get around that lovely city. Unfortunately my shoes are not comfy enough, makes my foot blisters instead. That’s why I decided to go shopping. Turns out what I found is much better than what I expected!

Piscok (Crispy Banana Chocolate)

What you need is:

• plantain/ platano (it looks and smells like banana, but it’s bigger and raw)
• sweetened condensed milk
• meises
• spring roll skin (kulit martabak/lumpia)
• sliced cheese

Instructions:

• sliced the plantain nicely
• put the spring roll skin on the plate, add 5 or more slices of plantain
• pour a little bit sweetened condensed milk
• sprinkled with meises, don’t put it too much because the milk already sweet
• cover it with slice cheese (I divided 3 parts of each slices, so it’s more evenly)
• then roll it up
• fry it on hot oil

Enjoy 

 *I always use whei chuan because it’s nicely thin for crispier rolls.
