Salmon and "Life Changing" Udon -8/3/20

 Made salmon again using Erin's recipe.  Just added butter, pepper, lemon, and rosemary. 

I made the "Life changing" udon recipe by Seonkyoung.  It was not life changing, but was very good.

Cold Udon and Karaage - 8/17/20

Image
A few weeks ago, I had 2 spicy tuna hand rolls, karaage and cold sake in a ramen shop in Culver City. The chicken was tender and had a nice flavor so I had to see if I could make it at home. I followed the recipe by Seonkyoung, the best karaage.   I used the Japanese concentrated broth instead along with the frozen sanukiya udon...I can't use any other after using this. Cutting up the thigh was a little tough...this was a big chicken. Of course, I had to make a soup but it was over 90 degrees in LA so no hot soup. I decided to make cold udon by Daniel, Future Dish. The chicken turned out great, tender on the inside with just the right amount of flavor, not too oily. It's just a little work in cutting up the thigh into small pieces.

Bossam, cold seaweed soup and... - 8-24-20

Image
 Still very hot in Los Angeles so no hot soup today. Tried the cold seaweed soup by Sue, My Korean Kitchen. Also, I made boiled pork by Kwon's Corner. The cold seaweed soup was okay...just not into seaweed that much. I really like how the bossam turned out...no smell with a very light smoky taste and so tender. I know about using garlic and ginger to take away the smell, but the COFFEE and BEER upped it and gave it more flavor.  Also, charring the pork before boiling it must have given that slight smoky flavor. I ate it with perilla leaves and Korean cabbage soaked in salted water. "On top of that", I made the "oyster radish salad" by Maangchi.  This was very good, I added crushed Thai red peppers and  sliced garlic instead on minced.  I believe this is more of a kimchi than salad.

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.
