Mother and father went to an overseas conference. Brother went for vacation. I'm left for dead at home but I ain't gonna die!

 

Whipped up a Korean meal (authenticity yet to be confirmed) and here's the menu:

Pork belly and radish stir-fried with Gochujang (고추장) and sesame oil

 

Korean soy bean paste soup (된장국) with tofu, radish, and pork belly.

  • I'm using bean paste from HaeChanDle (해찬들) that I got from FairPrice Hub @ Joo Koon. I've been to several FairPrice but fail to find it there.

Can't leave out the Kimchi (맛김치) and rice! Outside of picture is a cup of peach flavored rice wine (막걸리).

I always love home cook food.

I've been lazy to cooksince I came back from Melbourne... Lol. I have to learn my Peranakan cooking when I'm there. Good thing I was in Melbourne. Can get most Chinese food stuff due to the Vietnamese community there.

I did nyonya laksa, char tau kuey black, and many others. I had nice adventure exploring when I was there. Even baked the infamous kueh lapis too! Lol

I can only help those who wants to be helped.

Blessed Be

Last night dinner :)

 

Udon in chicken broth with pork belly and xiao bai cai

 

I used Heinz chicken broth; simmered with the "white end" of spring onions, 当归 (Angelica root),  玉竹 (Solomon seal root), and pork belly together.

love the white end of spring onions. i would use tenderloin of pork instead.

I've never heard of this trick to use white ends of spring onions. Wonder what's the flavour like? I know coriander roots with curries, and would be great if can find some use for spring onion white ends... - So its eaten too,in the soup, not thrown away?

i find the best part of a stalk of spring onion isn't the green but the white end of it. So much more fragrant and flavour.

Yup! You get more flavour from the stalks than from the greeny parts.

Just stumbled upon this thread. Had similar interests of cooking my own dinners once in a while when I feel like it. Made this Korean grilled squid recently for the first time. Haha, Sorry, lighting wasn't good.

So, what did you use for the dark sauce...? Oyster sauce, or...? What makes this squid Korean? :rolleyes:

The sauce is a simplified version of what the Korean uses to BBQ food. Mixture of Korean chili paste, honey, sesame oil, light soy sauce, and other seasonings.

And this sauce is applied before grilling? Yum, must give this a try!

There's a bit of articles recently on brining chicken, supposedly retains moisture and adds flavour, you might wanna give that a try.
