SuJeongGwa is a Korean traditional beverage made with mainly cinnamon sticks, ginger, and sugar. Koreans usually drink this beverage as a dessert. Koreans drink it a lot during the holidays. When you look at the ingredients, it has some healthy qualities. It tastes good both hot or cold, but I prefer it cold with ice cubes. Once you make it, you can keep it in the refrigerator quite a long time. There are other Korean beverages that I will show you how to make someday. If you invite some people over for a Korean meal, this can be a good beverage for your meal.

Not only the idea for this survey is interesting, but they also listed many other cool Korean blogs. I can’t wait to see the result of the survey from different areas.

TteokGuk is a traditional Korean new year soup. Korean people celebrate the Lunar New Year, and this soup is the main dish in that holiday meal. On New Year’s morning, we wear HanBok (Korean traditional clothes) and greet (bow) grandparents, parents, or relatives. Older people give a blessing for the new year to their children along with some money called “SaeBatDon” (새뱃돈)”. After greeting the older people, family and relatives eat breakfast together. The meal will have New Year’s soup, different kinds of vegetable dishes, fish, jeons, japvchae, galbi jjim, and so on. Since Koreans calculate their age according to New Year, and not on their birthday, eating the bowl of New Year soup on New Year’s Day means becoming one year older. It might sound like a crazy idea, but we joke about it. I don’t want to eat more than one bowl of New Year’s soup, because I don’t want to become more than one year older. hehe
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
SaeHae Bok MaNi BaDeuSeYo. (새해 복 많이 받으세요) = Have lots of good fortune for the New Year.
This is the Korean greeting for the New Year.
Taco salad is a favorite food of mine that I learned to make from my mother in law. Homemade tortillas, taco seasoned beef, beans, lettuce, onions, cheese, and the french salad dressing. Oh, the combination of those flavors is awesome. @.@ Yesterday, we ate this for supper, and it was very delicious, as always. I guessed somebody might want the recipe for this food, so I post pictures with recipe. Enjoy!
It’s all thanks to your support. I hope that more people visit Aeri’s Kitchen’s blog and share information about Korean food in 2009. Love you all ~~ hehe
