More Kimchi !!!! Well....I mean.....almost.......

Should I talk about Kimchi again ??? You think so ?? Yeh ?? No ?? Not sure ?? Don't Know ?? Don't Care ?? Don't give a damn ?? Oh ...... You do give a damn ?? Well ... what do you think ?? Should I or shouldn't I ?? Hmmm.....

Well I tell ya what. I will let you decide that one okay ?? Good.

And while you think about the notion of me oodling you with more Kimchi, I will actually tell you about some of my other favourite Korean foods. Yes team. You got it - KIMCHI IS THE DOOR TO A KOREAN FOOD OASIS. And a plentiful one at that.

Admittedly team, I am not going to go through every single delight and delicacy here, but what I will do is direct you to some other useful websites to help you on your gastric journey to Korean food Utopia.

Let the journey begin....


http://korean-cuisine.blogspot.com/

This site actually looks pretty cool I think. I haven't met the site author personally, but her description states that well... shes a Korean American Mom who..well...loves to cook !!! And by the way the blog is presented it sure does indeed look like it. The site is not cluttered, there are some really nice pictures there to illustrate the different kinds of foods, ingredients and what nots, and it looks really accessible for every one to peruse through from the first time Korean cook to something that veterans and maybe even the odd Cordon Bleu chef might find tickling their fancy.

Now this site really does set a standard for broadcasting in various forms the delights, highlights, sunlights, bright lights and well... any other useful lights .... the Korean cuisine has to offer. The thing that really captures me about this site is just the obvious love and passion that it generates towards Korean Cuisine. The pics look great, the site looks informative, the ideas generate fusion of thought ( gotta try that tandoori tteokboggi !! ) and ..... well......heed my advice. CHECK IT OUT !!!!!!

In a nutshell, it is this -



Once again, I do intend thank the wikipedia contributor for this pic, which is ZenKimchi !! You can see the pic here -- http://www.zenkimchi.com/FoodJournal. I love this stuff team. Its hot, spicey, and its basically stew with Korean Red bean paste, tofu, seafood and some other vegetables indeed. Its jolly good stuff indeed !!!

I also have to give a shout out to Tteokboggi too. This stuff is good indeed !!! The particular version of it that I really tend to like and devour is this one ...



Thanks to jetalone, http://flickr.com/photos/jetalone/753029139/, and wikipedia for this pic. Basically team, this dish is a mix of rice cake, meat, bean paste sauce, and maybe a little egg thrown in there too. Its really good and satisfies the eating soul when satisfaction is desired !!!!!

Finally for tonight team, you gotta eat this ...



Its Tteok !!!!! Basically its Korean rice cake and is a real Korean nicety, particularly at Lunar New Year time, where the making of Songpyeon, a type of Tteok, is a traditional thing to do. You can make it by steaming mung bean and red bean paste along with some other dried fruits. Its really good. Once again, thanks to takoradee and wikipedia for this pic.


So there you have it team. A few little extras for you to feast your eyes and your tastebuds on no doubt !!! Its okay if you don't want me to go over Kimchi again. Its pro.... WHAT !?!? YOU WANT MORE ON KIMCHI ??? AAARRGGGH !!!! Well .... then you have to wait for that one so I say !!! I do need to take a time out you know !!! seeya !!!!!
