Interesting Facts about Kimchi

I think this is interesting thing about kimchi. You know, kimchi is getting famous around the world. They even serve it on the plane. But because of its spicy flavor, some people can't eat a lot or kids don't like it much. But I found out this evening while watching tv that there are different kinds of food with kimchi flavor like chocolate kimchi, cheesecake kimchi, and a lot more. But what interest me more was the lemonade kimchi that is sold in Japan. It sounds strange but it's also good to know that kimchi is getting more popular not only in Korea but also around the world.

Ingredients: 1/2 lb. ground pork, 1 cake bean curd, 1/2 cup flour, 2 cloves garlic, 1 large green onion, 1/4 lb. kimchi, parsley, sesame oil, 2 eggs, salt, black pepper, MSG, 1 tsp. ginger juice

Method:
1. Wrap the bean curd in a clothe, squeeze out the water and mash it.
2. Squeeze out the water from the kimchi. Chop the kimchi and green onion finely.
3. Mix the #1, #2, ingredients, ground pork, garlic, salt, black pepper, sesame oil and MSG and shape the mixture into round, flat patties.
4. Dip the patties into flour, then into beaten egg and fry them until golden brown. Garnish with the parsley and green onion cut into thin strips.

Hint:
1. Season the kimchi and bean curd and mix them thoroughly with a flat wooden spoon or with your hands so that the patties will be nicely shaped. You may used parboiled mung bean sprouts instead of the kimchi. When draining the fried food in a wicker tray, make only one layer.
2. Be sure to remove all the fat from the pork as it may otherwise be too greasy. Also, cook the pork well.

Stir-Fry Pork with Kimchi on a camp


My hubby said he wanted to eat daejigogi kimchibokkum so I made some for lunch the day before we went camping. He said it was delicious so he told me to make more and bring some for our camp. So the night before we left, I cooked some kimchi bokkum and brought some. Although we ordered chicken for our lunch, my hubby said the kimchi bokkum was more delicious. We ate it for our dinner. I was so happy because I saw my hubby ate much on the food that I prepared.

kimchijjim

There is this newly opened restaurant called nolboo near my place so i told hubby to go in that restaurant and have some kimchijjim - fresh kimchi is served along with big chunks of braised pork, that's been simmered for hours and some slices of tofu. What i like to it is that the kimchi is well-fermented and the pork is super-tender. hmmm...my mouth is watering while posting this.
