Gom Gook - (?? ??)

One of my readers asked me to find them this recipe (hey h!) and I�m currently working hard to move all my pictures onto Picasa. The quality of the pictures seems to be a lot crisper and cleaner than where I had them loaded previously. Yes, it�s time consuming. I realize now that I have over 100 recipes on this blog. =O When did I cook so much?! Anyhow, this is a really old post, but I

Rice Cake and Dumpling Soup - ????

Let me preface this post by saying there are many ways to cook a dish. There is no right way and no wrong way. If it tastes great to YOU, then you did it the right way! I realized today that it has been about a year and a half since I started this blog. I've been going through some of my old recipes and my cooking has definitely evolved from some of those older posts. In present day

Dduk Gook using Gom Gook Broth - (??)

I know I made dduk gook before, but I just thought I would do a quick how-to using gom gook. It's easy! First start off with about 4-5 cups of gom gook broth. The broth was really thick, so I diluted it with a little bit of water. I then added about 1 TB of gook ganjang, some minced garlic, and some salt. Do you see a pattern here? =P Fry some eggs. You can be lazy and fry the

Moo Gook - Daikon Radish Soup - Version 2.0 - (???)

Don't you just love how there are so many ways to cook the same dish? =P You can make my mom's ??? style mook gook or you can make the following more traditional moo gook. I took out the moo pieces from the gom gook I'm currently making before they got too soft and chopped it up like so. Then I got a few cup fulls of gom gook (which has only cooked for about 5 hours) and put it in

Dwenjang Jjigae - Soy Bean Soup - Version 2.0 - (?? ??)

Cooking is such an interesting thing. Trying to cook in someone else's kitchen is quite a challenge. Trying to find Korean ingredients in a small town proved to be even a greater challenge. I didn't want to buy EVERYTHING, so I only bought the bare minimum ingredients and have been improvising in the kitchen. Today I made dwenjang jjigae with a beef broth instead of my usual fish broth. You

Ooh-Guh-Jih Galbi Tang - Galbi Beef Stew - (??? ???)

Needed:1 lb. of galbi stew meat (this is the cheaper beef ribs found at the K-market. Don't bother wasting $$ on galbi jjim meat)3 bunches of green napa2 cups of kongnamool1 cup each of green onions and large green onions1 large onion1 whole red pepper1/2 bunch of enoki mushroomssmall piece of moo (daikon radish)6-7 TB dwenjang, 2.5 TB minced garlic, 2 TB sesame oil, 3 TB red pepper powder, 4 TB

Gom Gook - Oxtail Soup - (??)

Ever since I made the ggak ddoogi last week, I've been dying to enjoy it with some gom gook. I only make gom gook once or twice a year because I actually do not like the SMELL of it much. It consumes the whole house for days on end. =P I went and bought about 2.5 lbs. of ox tails and 2.5 of sa-gul (cow bones with bone marrow). I ended up using half that bag of sa-gul and I'm going to use the

Miyuk Gook w/Beef Broth - (???)

I never bothered to do a miyuk gook recipe because it's one of the easiest gooks to make and I assumed everyone knew how to make it. But then I checked my Google stats and found out that the #1 search term used to find my site was "miyuk gook" ~ so why not give the strangers visiting my blog what they're looking for? (Plus, it's munchkin's favorite meal so I make it once a week anyhow~) All

Beh-choo Gook - (Napa Soup) - (???)

Your shopping list for the day:Green napa (I have NO idea what it's really called in English~ the next time I'm at the K-market I'll take a note of it).White napaKongnamool2 cups green onions1/4 (or less) lb. of beef - NOTE: If you have galbi meat with the bones on hand, use that with 1 more tb of red pepper powder. It tastes better and it will make it kind of like a ooh-guh-ji galbi gook....

Yook Gae Jang - ???

Note: You can add the egg directly into the soup. I live with a man who absolutely detests eggs, so I tend to always make any eggs "on the side". I made Yook Gae Jang today. I bought all the ingredients earlier in the week, but didn't have time until today to make it. Here's a grocery list of what you need: Beef flank steak (anywhere from 1.25-2 lbs. of it) Bean sprouts

Galbi Tang - (???)

Start off by draining the blood from some galbi meat. Just wash some galbi and put into a pot of cold water. Change the pot every 15 minutes or so for about 45 minutes. Normal galbi tang uses the large beef short ribs used for galbi jim, but I just used galbi that I had left aside from marinading earlier today.Total Cook Time: 3 hoursI love these little tea bags they sell at the Japanese

Dduk Gook - ??

Every time I take my son to the K-market with me, he INSISTS on buying dduk. However, since those packages are pretty big, he's only able to finish about 1/3 of it. This means that I'm faced with the predicament of thinking of ways to use it up. I usually just make dduk-bbok-ggi (don't you just love Konglish?). But today, I decided to make dduk gook instead.You need meat (I bought galbi

Beef Tomato Stew

Obviously, this isn't a Korean recipe, but I thought I would share it anyway. The cold weather made me want to make some of my beef/tomato/bean soup. It's just something I started to do when I got married to use up all the leftover veggies in the fridge.First I drain the blood from some beef stew meat and then sautee it in a pot with oil, minced garlic, and LOTS of herbs and spices, most

Spinach Dwenjang Gook - ??? ???

There's no denying the fact that my son is a Korean kid. His two favorite things to eat are 1) miyuk gook and 2) spinach gook. I think he could eat those two every day if he had to. Wash a bunch of spinach. Be sure to wash it very thoroughly. You would be surprised how dirty spinach is. Drain the blood from some beef stew meat. Then pour the water down the drain, squeeze

Moo Gook - ???

There's only so many gook's you can make, but this one is something that my mom always used to make for us when we were younger. She says it's moo gook with a ??? twist. Meat Moo Bean Sprouts Green Onions Red Pepper Powder Minced Garlic Gook Soy Sauce Drain the blood from some beef and stick it into a pot. I just add all the ingredients directly into the pot.
