When it comes to food, we go through phases, and we sometimes go for several weeks without eating any Korean food (or my version of it!), but then we have day after day after day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And right now we are in a Korean phase.
Breakfast is often Bap Egg on Top (rice flavored with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Korean spicy red pepper paste, ketchup, and sesame seeds, topped with over-easy eggs). I can’t get enough of it! Here is a recycled picture of it. I am not often patient enough these days to take pictures before eating…
And here is some other “Korean” food we have been eating:
Bulgogi (marinated barbecued beef)
The “secret” is to marinate the thin beef slices for several hours in the fridge. My mother-in-law really liked “my version” and complimented me several times!
We have also been eating kimchi stew. My version is made with chicken instead of pork. Not traditional at all…
Some side dishes: lettuce to dip into fermented bean paste, kimchi, seaweed rolls, chicken, marinated radish slices, marinated black beans, and marinated squid.
The toddler with his grandparents…
Questions: What’s your favorite type of cuisine? Do you cook traditional/authentic dishes, or do you put your own spin on things? Do you sometimes get “stuck” eating the same food over and over?
Be well,
Andrea
