Today, I will make a popular Korean noodle dish, Jjol-myeon(쫄면). The letter “Jjol (쫄)” came from the first letter of the Korean word “쫄깃 쫄깃한”, which means very chewy and elastic. The letter “myeon(면)” means noodle in Korean. If you are familiar with names for Korean food, you will remember “myeon” from jja-jang-myeon, ra-men, or nang-myeon. ;) So, jjol-myeon is very chewy noodle with a sweet, sour and spicy sauce and some fresh vegetables. If you don’t like hard boiled egg, you can skip it. Enjoy!!! :D

Mini Fried Chicken

Today, I will make Korean style mini fried chicken with a sweet and mildly spicy sauce. The reason I use the name “mini” for this recipe is because I will use bite sized pieces of chicken breast for it. It’s nice to eat since it is small pieces of fried chicken without the bone and skin. Try this yummy Korean-style fried chicken for party or football game snack someday. :D

Beef kimbap (쇠고기 김밥) is a type of Korean kimbap. I use the same recipe to marinate the beef for this beef kimbap as the beef for the Korean stuffed peppers. (I’ve already posted it sometime ago.) Green, orange, yellow, black, white, brown … the color combination from the ingredients are very good. Of course, the taste is even better.
