korean food

Here is the korean fare that I had last night: korean bbq beef and pork, hot pepper stew with fishcake and ricecake, jabchae, red bean glutinous porridge, seasoned ikan bilis, cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi. And it is all good.

I did manage to watch Aunty Han make her jabchae, so I’ll try that one of these days.

This morning, Aunty Han was busy making radish kimchi, and she also took out the not-very-good kimchi that I made some time ago and re-seasoned it for me. I think the more times I try to make kimchi, the worse it tastes. I added one very expensive korean pear, supposedly the secret ingredient, to my latest kimchi. But this batch turned out to be, I have to say, the oddest tasting kimchi that I’ve made so far.
