Ssamjang (Korean dipping sauce)

Ssam Recipe
Ingredients
red leaf lettuce leaves
steamed brown or white rice
bulgogi
garlic cloves, sliced lengthwise
baechu (cabbage) kimchi
ssamjang

1. Cook bulgogi according to recipe.
2. Coat the bottom of a pan with canola or other cooking oil. Add sliced garlic to the pan. Heat the pan on medium heat. Once the garlic slices turn golden brown on the bottom-side, turn with tongs or chopsticks to finish cooking on the other side. (Once the pan heats up, it should take about a minute.) Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the ssam by first adding a spoonful of steamed rice to the lettuce. Add bulgogi, slice of grilled garlic, piece of kimchi, and a dollop of ssamjang to the rice.

4. “Wrap” by pulling up on the edges, in the shape of a drawstring purse. Put the whole ssam in your mouth! That’s the way the Koreans do it. Enjoy!

How to cook Instant Ramyeon (Ramen)

With increase in commodity prices reflected on the shelves of your favorite grocery outlet, Ramen still remains one of the most economical ways to satisfy your hunger pain. With its starchy, salty, brothy, and piping hot noodles, it meets all the criteria as an ultimate comfort food, especially late at night. We have all done it. What’s great about cooking Ramen is everybody has their own recipe, you can add protein, leftover veggies, cheese, in our case, Korean Dduk (sliced rice cake, 떡). We love Ramen because it provides us with all the comfort compounds in a small package. Ramen is best eaten quickly, before it gets soggy in the hot broth; make that slurping noise to cool it down. So make noise, don’t be shy, and cook Ramen!

Gary and Song Ji Hyo revealed nervous hearts before playing a game.

In SBS "Running Man" aired today, Gary said, "I'm really nervous now that I'm about to play the stick cracker game with Song Ji Hyo. Are you going to close your eyes? You're not going to turn your head sideways, right?"

Gary then calmed himself down and looked to the ceiling.

While taking the game slowly, Gary suddenly grabbed Song Ji Hyo's head. Song Ji Hyo got surprised and pulled herself away from him in laughter.

They retried playing the game and successfully only left 1.2cm of the stick left.

Gary said, "Can we continue filming separately? I'll go for 7mm this time," arousing laughter.

Korean Food Recipe:Heart Shape Fried Egg (하트 모양 계란말이)

Heart Shape Fried Egg (하트 모양 계란말이)

Main Ingredients
4 Large Eggs
1 Tbsp Green Onion
½ Tbsp Carrot
¼ tsp Salt
Some Oil

Danmuji (단무지 - Sweet Radish Pickle)

Danmuji - strips colored with chija (Gardenia) in the back and half-circles colored with turmeric

Danmuji (단무지) literally means sweet radish pickle, originated in Japan and instantly recognized by its bright yellow color.  It's a must-ingredient for kimbap (김밥; rice rolls wrapped in seaweed), and an equally important accompaniment for jajangmyeon (짜장면; noodles with black bean sauce).  Its sweet, tangy, bright flavor along with refreshingly crunch bites delivered at a cheap cost make danmuji a favorite side dish in bunsik (분식; snack) places in Korea. 

Although it's common to buy danmuji in packages at a grocery store, it is also as easy to make at home.  The home version danmuji can be made by quick pickling, which requires pouring the boiled pickling liquid over the main ingredient, in this case, daikon radish.

While it doesn't have to be bright yellow, the color is part of its identity many people associate danmuji with.  You may be lucky enough to get dried chija (치자; Gardenia jasminoides) from your area, which is dried gardenia fruit traditionally used for natural coloring as well as herbal medicine in Korea.  Chija starts releasing its orange-yellow color immediately as it comes into contact with water.  It'll get you the color fitted for danmuji along with slightly fragrant, earthy note in the background. 

A more accessible option is adding a small amount of turmeric from your spice rack for the bright yellow color in danmuji.  A hint of this exotic spice that comes through in danmuji is pleasantly refreshing. 

Now that we've settled on getting the proper yellow color for danmuji, try this recipe at home.  The recipe is adjustable, of course, depending on the amount of radish and your preference for sweetness.  Just make sure the liquid is enough to cover the radish.  Enjoy~!  

 
(L) Use a firm daikon radish with tight, smooth surface inside, i.e., free of any holes. (R) in turmeric pickling liquid

 
Chija (치자) makes a great coloring agent for danmuji. 

1 small daikon (Japanese radish), about 2 cups, peeled
1/2 C rice vinegar
1/2 C water
1 TBSP sugar
1/4 ts salt
1 ts turmeric powder or 3-5 pieces of dried chija (치자; Gardenia jasminoides)
Optional) 1/2 ts black peppercorns

If you're making this as a convenient side dish, cut daikon into thin slices then cut in half.  If you're using this mainly for a kimbap ingredient, cut in long strips.

Mix together rice vinegar, water, sugar, turmeric (or chija), and black peppercorns.  Bring the liquid up to a boil, then pour it over daikon slices.

Cool danmuji to room temperature, then place it in an airtight container.  If you want to expedite its pickling, leave it out at room temperature overnight.  It should be ready to eat the next day.  Store danmuji in the refrigerator.  The color will continue to deepen for the next few days.

Honeysuckle Catering : Korean JapChae Recipe (Glass Noodle 잡채) - Honeys

In Korean cuisine, glass noodles are usually made from sweet potato starch and are called dangmyeon (Hangul: 당면; Hanja: 唐麵; literally "Tang noodles"; also spelled dang myun, dangmyun, tang myun, or tangmyun).

They are commonly stir-fried in sesame oil with beef and vegetables, and flavored with soy and sugar, in a popular dish called japchae (hangul: 잡채). They are usually thick, and are a brownish-gray color when in their uncooked form.

 

Ingredients:
1/2 lb sweet potato noodles (dangmyeon)

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
3 stalks green onion chopped into 3-inch lengths
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1/2 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced
1/2 pound bulgogi
1 bunch spinach

Directions:

Squeeze out excess water with your hands. Set aside. Boil another pot of water, add the sweet potato noodles and cook 3-5 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.

Take a large skillet, place on the stove and add 1 tbsp oil. Heat on medium heat and add garlic to simmer for a minute. Add all vegetables and stir-fry until they start to soften. Add spinach and noodles and stir. Then add soy sauce mixture to cott. Finally add bulgogi, stir-fry everything and serve hot or cold! :P
