Budae Jjigae

There's also a great scene in Steel Rain where they're driving through Uijeongbu and the North Korean agent sees all kinds of restaurants advertising "army base stew" and he looks between horrified and disgusted and says "you have built so many army bases to prepare for war. How many mess halls are there in this area??" And they have to explain to him that no that's just the name of a popular dish there

Finally! I finally found the dried anchovies I needed for this dish through a Korean coworker who offered to bring me some that her family sends her from Korea. She even brought me some gochugaru so I wouldn't need to buy a huge bag of it. She's an angel.

Of course, the day after she brought me the anchovies, I found them in a brand new Asian market in town. Not sure if buying her some would be kinda rude? Or if I should just give her a heads up that we have them in town? I'm bad at social interactions...

Still not 100% sure how to pronounce this. I'm sure my north American mouth would fail at it.

So. Many. Ingredients. I forgot the onions for the picture. There's literally pork 3 ways in this dish. That's a lotta sodium.

Start with some kombu, dried anchovies, a dried shiitake and sea salt (I used Morton's because I'm a fancy bitch). 4 cups of water and this makes your base broth. It simmers for thirty minutes, so you have plenty of time to slice up your billion accoutrements.

Onion, more onion, Korean rice cakes, Korean kimchi, spam, ground pork, hot dogs and garlic. I threw the gochugaru and gochujang on top of the ground pork, then pour in your soy sauce and cooking wine (I used Chinese, it's what I had, fight me). This is a half portion of the recipe. Tony claims that the full recipe feeds 2-4. I fed two of us on half the ingredients, with a bit of leftovers. His portions are so huge.

Pour the anchovy broth over all this (solids from the broth discarded), add the few tablespoons of baked beans and simmer for ten minutes. Stir it a bit so the rice cakes don't stick to the pan.

Discard the ramen flavour packet (or put it in your spice cupboard so it can get lost forever), and add in your noodles. I added the vegetable packet, because why not. Two minutes for the noodles and you're set.

He doesn't call for the green onion garnish, but it looks kinda gross and boring without it. I've never had ramen with so much stuff in it. It's shockingly not as salty as it looks.

Taste is a 4 out of 5. Not too spicy, very filling.

Difficulty is a 2 out of 5. Mostly knife work.

Time was about an hour.

I didn't think I would like the Korean rice cakes, but they were actually my favorite part! New favourite food items are one of the main reasons I decided to try cooking this cookbook. Now I'm glad I bought a big ol' bag of 'em. So chewy, great texture.

Since I have a half portion of prepped ingredients ready to go in my fridge, I'll definitely be making this again for a work lunch tomorrow. And probably again, since I still have a ton of the stuff I need for it.

I'm with Han Joowon here, if my food looked at me like this, I would also not eat it XD

My knowledge of Korean culture is rudimentary at best but I think Germans and Koreans should become besties because we also ferment cabbage, have different levels of formality, and got split in two as a result of the cold war

If you have sesame oil, chili oil, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, and vinegar, you can easily make a Chinese-inspired soup base to add over dumplings or noodles and your choice of veg. I sauté some garlic, ginger, scallion whites (and kimchi if you want a little Korean zing) in the sesame oil before adding water and all the sauces, and it’s such an easy way to indulge in a comforting warm soup once the weather gets cold.

cooking lessons | @vartouhix

There was something oddly comforting about watching another cute girl scramble about in the kitchen while Chiyori herself sat atop of the counter. Her hands were placed on each side of her thighs, fingers holding onto the edges of the surface. She was observing patiently, feet swinging idly back and forth as amber gaze followed the pinkette around as she searched in drawers and cabinets for cookingware and ingredients.

Listening with care, a fond smile was drawn onto Chiyori’s features as Jangmi-chan began explaining the steps to her. It was almost as if she was receiving a private cooking lesson. “Right, what cook the slowest go in first,” Chiyori repeated after the other with a solemn nod of her head.

And as her friend kept chittering away, expressing her impatience due to hunger, Chiyori’s head canted lightly to the side. “Cooking everything from scratch is overrated, anyway!” She assured her friend. “I’m sure it’s going to taste great.” After all, she trusted in her friend’s cooking skills. Besides, Chiyori couldn’t wait to taste the Korean signature dish herself, (which she by the way still had trouble pronouncing, even after Jangmi-chan had tried to teach her how to say it).

At the comment about her reminding the other of a kid and the gentle pat to the head, Chiyori offered her friend an awkward smile in return. She wasn’t sure how to respond, because Jangmi-chan really wasn’t that much older than her.

However, once the pinkette began piling the ingredients next to her thigh with instructions on what to do, Chiyori’s attention shifted immediately. “Roger that, Jangmi-chan! Just tell me what you need,” she responded, resisting the impulse to add a saluting gesture as well. Either way, she was ready to hand over whatever ingredient her friend needed on cue!

"Honestly, you can't go wrong," Jangmi says lightly as she places the deep pan full of water onto the burner. "It's all about timing--what's gonna cook the slowest, needs to go in first. Whatever cooks the fastest goes in towards the end." She tipped her head slightly, a hand making its way to her hip while its twin came up to tap her index finger on her lip. "I guess it's a little more complicated if you decide to make it with traditional stock and soup base. But~" She drew out the word and brought her index finger into the air in front of her with a flourish of her wrist. "We're not doing that today because I'm already hungry and I can't wait that long!" Jangmi chirped.

As she waited for the water to heat, she looked over at Chiyori perched on the counter, and she grinned, giggling softly. "You look so cute up there. Like a little kid." Reaching up, she pat the top of the other's head gently. Then, she began piling ingredients next to Chiyori's thigh. "But you're not here just to look pretty. You're gonna be handing me the ingredients as I ask for them."
