That awesome!! And a bit revolting. Thanks for sharing. I once had a dream that I made and ate a giant scotch egg, but I hadn't considered it could be an ostrich egg. I figured it was a giant chicken from HG Wells' "Food of the Gods". I've always wanted to make a basket of spicy wings but use big turkey wings instead of chicken, now I'm thinking Ostrich! ← I believe there is a large version of a scotch egg on pimp that snack

I knew a half korean girl who would do that with her potato chips in the cafeteria during middle school. I wanted to punch her, but for other reasons entirely I like to flip my bacon with chopsticks, nothing else will do..not even a spatula chopsticks are one of the most versatile utensils....but don't get me started on sticky rice (that deserves a whole other topic by itself)

this post reminds me of how I used to eat pizza when I was little. I'd peel off the cheese and throw it in the trash (hated cheese when I was wee) Lick off all of the spaghetti sauce Eat the bread part then the crust Freakin Nasty!!!!! When I eat soup I like to drink all the broth till it meets the noodles/veggies/goodies in soup, then proceed to eat the "solids"

you can probably store it in a plastic bag is there moisture in cotton candy?

here is also something similar

im pretty sure this is it and the author of the blog eats it with galbi like my family does. I guess i'll do a google search for it

I often see a salad fitting this description (the romaine is also julienned) accompanying samgyeopsal at restaurants. Apparently it's called pajeori / pajuhri. But I have no idea if that's what you're talking about; the ones I've had serve to cut the fattiness of the samgyeopsal (the dressing's predominantly sour) but I don't know that I'd describe it as "refreshing". ← nope, that's not really a salad, its more of a condiment that goes in the ssam w/the samgyeupsal. oh and doddie's reccomendation wasn't what I was looking for, but thanks anyways I would still like to know the name of what I'm eating.

green onions is the number one. I buy 2-4 bunches at a time, because I use them an awful lot. They always get slimy and gunky in the crisper. Tofu is another one. I always forget to change the water daily and it sits in yellowish greenish water and ew it smells so bad

thanks doddie, I will do a google search for that. I appreciate it (:

I like adding chopped green olives to mine

alright, heres some pics of oi muchim that I made. Like the radish version, I took most of the ingredients and measurements from zenkimchi's recipe. I guess this is what you would call a "quick pickle" I used: gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, sesame seeds, and rice wine vinegar here's a photo of the ingredients I used. The gochujang looks scary, but at least its homemade here's a pic of all the ingredients minus the cukes all mixed up and ready to go salted cukes end product

I hope this works. Here's my first post to egullet that includes my own photos. Instead of marc's recipe (sorry!) I decided to make zenkimchi's oi muchim recipe. I have a lot of cucumbers and I needed to use them up before they went bad here's a photo of the ingredients I used. The gochujang looks scary, but at least its homemade here's a pic of all the ingredients minus the cukes all mixed up and ready to go salted cukes end product

live it up, your fingernails are pretty they match your pickled onions very well (: what kind of kimchi are you going to make? cabbage?

don't know if this will work, but maybe you could individually wrap each sandwich in some butcher or wax paper? Make it pretty and tie each with some ribbon? could be very time consuming and might actually look silly

thanks for all the great replies everyone. I was worried that I would have to buy something off of ebay (really did not want to do this) or buy a brand new unit altogether. Its nice to know that I can call up kitchen aid and they mail me a whisk for a small amount of money

warning!!! I'm not eating in korea next month I'm eating in Maryland sorry guys ): But I will be eating about 80% korean food and you get to see pictures of me crabbing hey its better than nothing, right? I do have wireless internet on my mac, because I can get free wifi at my college. However my boyfriend and I don't have wireless here at the apt we only have cable wan (this is coming from him). Maybe I should call comcast and ask them how to hook up the internet eta: I am making my boyfriend call for me later today hehehe Since I'm making dinner he should help me out, right?

I'd love to see your rendition of pickled eggs and beets. My grandmother makes her own every summer and I can eat just beets and pickled eggs for a meal.

holy freakin crap I just tried loading the photos and it freakin worked now all I need is internet on my macbook. I'm going to try to buy one of those airport thingys when I go see my parents thanks to peter for the help and kbjesq. staying on topic, I'm going to try out marc's recipe and tell you all how it compares to my mother.

we can have a travelogue IF and only if I can figure out some way my digi cam can be hooked up to my brand new mac book. You see, I dont have the original software for my digicam, just the usb cord, and I don't know if I can upload photos on to my macbook. It would also help if I had working internet on my macbook. For now I am using my boyfriends super duper old (trust me this thing still runs on windows ME) pc. SO if I can get all these things to work I will take as many photos of me stuffing my face at my parents house as I can. I mean you guys are the only ones who would enjoy seeing that.

nope none of those. I think when I go visit my mom and dad in July I am definitely bringing my digicam and I am taking photos of my mom's lovely korean garden. All I know is that most of the stuff that she uses for the "other" salad grows around my parents man made pond (very very tiny). I believe she called one of the greens "korean watercress" because it looks nothing like the watercress you see here. However they both have that peppery bite.

thanks for the reply marc. I will definitely try this out tonight with the bagged romaine lettuce that I have Ruth, I can't ask my mother bc she is in Korea. I will have to wait a few weeks until I see her

wow I love pickled eggs, but I've only had them with pickled beets so they are purple in the end rather than just white. When they are pickled with the beets they turn really sweet and go really well as a side to pretty much everything, but especially sauerkraut and pork

no question is a dumb question! I like to reheat them in the microwave (6 at a time) with a damp paper towel wrapped around them for about 30-45 seconds. Last weekend I grilled some carne asada outside and heated up the tortillas on my grill. I left them on until they puffed up - literally 5-10 seconds if the coals are directly underneath.

don't forget about desserts in korea!!!!!! We mainly eat fruit for dessert, but its considered more of a snack than a dessert or can be considered a drinking snack - anju. Koreans love to eat fruit in the summertime like korean melons and watermelon (which is incredibly expensive and tiny). There are also red bean/adzuki bean desserts there and the famous pat bing soo which is a red bean shaved ice dessert with lots of add-ons. My grandmother (the italian one) is reading a book that states that the nepalese (is that the correct word?) have the longest longevity in the world. I had to explain to her that the author of the book was incorrect and the healthiest people in the world were in fact the japanese. This is true, correct? This book is a self-help/diet book written in 2002 by a so called M.D. I think that the Okinawans actually live longer than the mainland japanese

Here in Baltimore, there are many Korean families in which the parents run small businesses to send the kids to college ... the great American tradition. I imagine that this increases the number of Korean-Whatever places because of the demand for "whatever". Of course, there are also Korean restaurants which cater to a mainly Korean clientele. Our Korean population is large enough to support quite a few of these. BB ← yeah I think most koreans mainly come to the us now to send their kids off to a good school. It used to be because of the korean economy, now its to get a better education. Times have really changed in the past 50 years or so.
