Today we're preparing TONS of food for the big Chinese New Year celebration tomorrow. I learned how to make amazing fresh kimchee. (see below)*
For breakfast we had rice, fish, egg, water kimchee, seafood radish soup, my grandmother's homemade acorn jelly, and to top it off--a gigantic pot of MUSSELS!!! Wha-what??!

*I did not actually make the amazing kimchee that's pictured. I watched and then ate it.

She's helped me by simplifying the Korean cooking process without watering down the flavors. She wants to remain anonymous so I don't even know her name. She only refers to her husband as Mr. and her son as Munchkin. There's a much deeper layer to who she is once you get beyond the recipes. I'll just leave it at that.
Have fun in Korea! I miss my extended family in Seoul.
Haha for the more carnivorous human.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks great!
ReplyDeleteI actually got to Korea a couple days ago and I'm on the same boat as you. Kind of getting in touch with my roots and meetings family members. Are you in Seoul?
Hope your stay in Korea is enjoyable!
You didn't make yourself kimchi even though you had learned how to make it? Or you had made it but you didn't want to show us ? hahaha ...

Yummy :) I hope you're having a great stay in Korea. I'm going next summer! And I read your previous posts about you freshening up on your Korean, I feel your pain. I'm struggling as well, but you can do it! 행운!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI really really want to try some Dukbokgi (spicy rice cake)...please try it for me,and tell me how does it taste like.. :D
ReplyDeleteYey for Priscilla and pescetarianism! It's so much better than the traditional American diet and it makes becoming a vegetarian so much smoother (worked for me a couple of months ago).
ReplyDeleteYour photos are making me hungry. *Must resist night snacking and go to sleep.*
Any fun with the hanbok dresses yet? I really want a male version hanbok.
