Vegetable Fried Rice

Fried rice is very common food for Asian cooking. Depending on the Asian country, the ingredients can be slightly different, but not much. Today, I will show you how to make Korean style vegetable fried rice. There are no particular rules for the ingredients. So, you can use any kinds of vegetables you like. If you add some chopped ham, sausage, or hot dogs, it will be very delicious also. (Just reduce the amount of salt in that case.) I like to make fried rice when I have left over rice in the refrigerator. It is a very good way to use your old rice without wasting it. Plus, if your kids don’t want to eat their vegetables, try this dish for them. Not only is it healthy, but it is also yummy. Thanks!!!

Beef and Rice

Today, I will show you how to make a type of Korean style DeopBaps. As I said, there are many different kinds of DeopBaps in Korea. Wait, you will start to wonder, what is DeopBaps. hehe… It is a Korean word for a certain type of dish – If you serve some food (usually cooked with different kinds of meat, vegetables, and sauce) on top of rice, and you mix the rice with the food before eating, we call that kind of dish, DeopBap. The SoGoGi DeopBap that I’m going to make today is a non spicy type of DeaopBap. The beef has bulgogi flavor, and there are many kinds of vegetables in this dish. Later, I will post different kinds of DeopBaps. See you soon again~~~

Soybean Curd with Rice

Yube Chobap is a Korean style Japanese food. Korea and Japan are very close in distance, there were also various relationships with each other throughout history. As a result, there are some foods that Korea and Japan got from each other and changed, such as Korean style chap-ssal tteok (mochi) that was from Japan. Or in the other case, and example would be Japanese style kimoochi (kimchi) that was from Korea. Anyway, when I was little, I’ve never seen yubu chobap or other kinds of sushi, then at sometime, people started to eat sushi and it became popular in Korea. Since the way to make this dish is super easy, people often make this for picnics (along with Kimbap) or for a party. The rice tastes similar to the rice for sushi which has a vinegar and sugar flavor in it. You can make everything from scratch, but there are some companies that sell a ready-made pack. All you need is cooked rice, some vegetables (if you want extra vegetables), and that pack. So today, I’m going to show you how to use that package. Depending on your taste, you can add chopped burdock root or other kinds of vegetables that you like. I tried different kinds of sweet peppers for this recipe, and I enjoyed eating this. My husband doesn’t like tufu and sweet and sour flavor much, so I guessed he will not like this one. My guessing was right. After he tried some of the seasoned rice, he didn’t want to eat anymore. oops ~~ So I ate all 16 chobaps alone. haha… Anyway, if you like sushi, you might like this dish.
