Kimchi stew

After having Korean food with ex-coursemates on Friday, I am craving for kimchi stew. So I looked for the recipe in Beyond Kimchee again and this blog never dissapoint me. I do not have any Korean chili flakes so I was thinking to make my own one which I think doesn't really the real chili flakes the Korean used in making the stew or kimchee and etc... But after all, it worked too after my body felt burning here and there because I kept scratching my legs and arms when I was deseeding dried chilies. Here, for my warm sunny Sunday afternoon lunch..

Kimchi fried rice

This is fairly easy food to make, kimchi fried rice. I bought a packet of cut kimchi just enough for fried rice to feed two.

Ingredients needed: cut kimchi, pork cubes from loin, 2 eggs, 2 bowls of overnight rice and chopped spring onions.


Stir fry pork cubes which are marinated earlier using cornstarch, soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook your scrambled egg and set aside.

Heat up oil and saute the cut kimchi for a while, pour in rice and mix. Add soy sauce, sesame oil and mix. Cook until everything seems to be mixed nicely and looked red in colour, add in scrambled eggs and pork. Stir again , after adding in pepper. Lastly pour in chopped spring onion and let it sit in a while on the hot wok.

Scoop and serve hot!

Tofu patties

Today I wasn't feeling very well. My head felt heavier than normal days, visual blur than usual, I was seeing a lot of light patches on my laptop screen. Although there is much more work to finish by the day end, I can't seem to concentrate too well. I sneezed, nose stuffed, and shivered. So I browsed through one of my favourite recipe site and saw this tofu patties in Beyond Kimchee .

My mind ventured into finding ingredients in my fridge. I saw tofu (tao chiam) that I bought on Saturday, chicken fillets and spring onions. okay, that's it. That's what I am making today for dinner, tofu patties! My head started to think of what's written in the blog, and what I can omit, what I can use to make it a perfect dish.


Here is the ingredients I use for the patties
2 firm tofu (smashed using potato masher)
2 pieces minced chicken
2 tablespooons chopped spring onions
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon cooking wine
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg yolk
salt & pepper

For frying
flour
1 egg, beaten

Chop chicken and smash tofu
Mix all the ingredients together
Divide mixture into 2 portion and build a log on each of the 2 aluminium foil
Roll the foil up and secure both ends.
Steam the logs for 10 minutes
Slice the steamed logs
Coat the with flour, and then egg
Fry until both sides turn golden brown
Serve with rice


In photo from top right clockwise, mince the chicken, mixture of ingredients, steam the logs, fry in pan




Feeling very tired but happy with the end product!
