Korean Food!!!

Is been awhile since I last posted my blog, so this time I will be telling you about 한국식사 (Korean Food) that i cooked yesterday for my 아침식사, 점심식사 and 저녁식사 (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner).

Beneath are the Korean Food that I cook yesterday, have a look first than I will explain to you.
This is 김치 소고기볶음밥(Kimchi Fried Rice with beef)

This is 파전(Pa Jeon) serve with 김치(Kimchi) as condiment


This is 순두부찌개(Sun-Du-Bu-Jji-Gae)

The first food is Kimchi Fried Rice with Beef, Kimchi Fried Rice is a daily food for Koreans, it is as common as our normal Fried Rice. Usually Koreans uses leftover rice and store it in the refrigerator and use "Aged" or well fermented Kimchi to cook this dish, it is a healthy food in did because the ingredient is Kimchi, Rice, Onion, Garlic and meat.

Secondly is Pa Jeon, I know it's not an English word so let me explain what this Pa Jeon is. Pa Jeon is actually Spring Onion Pancake, it is very different from the western ones because the cooking technique and also the ingredient too. Western Pancake usually serve with Jam, Honey or Syrup as condiment but for Koreans, they ate their deliciously good pancake with Soy Sauce mix with Vinegar, Sesame Oil, Hot Pepper Flakes and some water. Sometimes this dish is also accompany by an alcoholic drink which is 막걸리(Mak-Geol-Li) it is a rice base wine, it is different from the Japanese Sake because it is milkier and taste sweet.
And the last Korean Food i cooked is Sun-Du-Bu-Jji-Gae, actually this dish is Tofu Stew. I find that English can't fully express what the Koreans intended to be but anyway, this Tofu Stew is not spicy although the colour of the soup is red colour. This is because the Kimchi gives it fiery red, this dish is also a very common food in Korea, It is usually eaten alone or shared. This stew will automatically serve with other Banchan or side dishes. I recommend this dish to those who can't take spicy food, the ingredient of this stew is Kimchi, Tofu, Egg, Meat and Onion, Garlic and Vegetables is very healthy and heart warming during winter.
