Seaweed soup and baked salmon - 7/20/20

Typical Korean seaweed soup which I made many times.  This week I learned a 2 things:  covering the salmon with foil locks in the flavor and keeps it moist.  I used the foil before but did not cover it.

2nd thing:  rosemary, 1st time using it and I see why white people love it.  It gives the salmon that extra flavor I didn't know it can have.

Well, next week's soup is Al tang.

Japanese curry w pork, carrots and potatoes then udon - 8/10/20

Image
 I have been spoiled and have a hard time eating the same food the next day.  So this recipe of just making the Japanese curry helped me eat curry with rice for dinner and curry with udon for lunch the next day. I followed the recipes by Seonkyoung and Ivan Orkin, the "Gaijin" I liked how Seon made the curry separate and added toppings later.  For Ivan, I used his "nuke" version of preparing the carrots.  Taste similar and save time.

Sashimi and al tang - 7/27/20

Image
I used mostly Maangchi recipe for the seasoning paste , except I substituted the fish sauce and added salted shrimp and added some minced ginger. I wanted it extra spicy so I considered using the Korean extra spicy powder, but instead I went the natural route and used sliced jalapenos and sliced Thai peppers.  This turned out great;  extra spicy with flavor.  This al tang as good as my dad used to make. I bought some frozen salted pollack roe from HMart for $18.99 for about 8 pieces.  Also, added Korean radish, squash, littlekneck clams, Korean green peppers, tofu, some sliced unions, and large green onions. There is no fishy smell to this pollack roe (al tang) soup, but when I made it with black cod fish a few days later, the soup was a little oily and definitely a slight fishy smell.

Hot and Sour Soup with Beef and Broccoli 7/13/20

I cheated this time...used an instant pack to make the hot and sour soup.  I was going to try to follow Souped Up Recipes , hot and sour but I got lazy and wanted to make beef and broccoli  (Thai version by Hot Thai Kitchen) too. The results: Soup:  I added more black vinegar to make it more sour.  Tofu, mushrooms, and 3 eggs were added. Good enough. Beef and Broccoli:  very good...more flavor than Panda Express' version.
