산적, SanJeok
Posted by Aeri Lee on September 13, 2008
San Jeok is a Korean holiday food. We usually make this food with family and relatives one day before a holiday, and serve it the next day. The color and taste combination of this food is very good. Depending on your tastes, you can skip the crab or add different kinds of vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, or zucchini. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend using mushrooms instead of beef (oyster mushrooms will be the best). Use the same sauce to marinate mushrooms, cook them until they get enough bulgogi sauce flavor, and then skewer them instead of the beef.
Yield: 2½ Dozen Skewers

- HaengBok (행복) = Happy

탕수육, TangSuYuk

TangSooYook is a Korean styled Chinese food. You can find this food in Chinese restaurants in Korea. (This is not authentic Chinese food. *^^*) The fried meat tastes really great with the sweet and sour sauce. The onions, carrots, and cucumbers give the sauce a wonderful combination of different flavors for the meat. I hope you will like this.
Yield: 2 Servings

불고기, BulGoGi
Posted by Aeri Lee on August 27, 2008
Bulgogi is one of the most famous Korean foods. Many foreigners visit Korea and try this delicious dish and love it. It not only has good flavor, but the way of eating this food is unique. We usually grill bulgogi at the table while we are eating a meal in a restaurant. Then we wrap bulgogi with lettuce, adding soybean paste, garlic, onion, carrot, and/or cucumber. If you have a chance to visit Korea, I recommend you try bulgogi. If you cannot, then try my recipe at home. hehe 
Yield: 3 Servings
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- So (소) = Cow
