Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe The great thing about this dish is that it is so easy to make! As long as you've got kimchi, rice, oil, and some salt, there's no messing up! Another great thing about this dish is that you can add almost anything you want, and it will still taste wonderful. It's a great idea for getting rid of various vegetables from the fridge. I love my foods especially spicy, because I think that spice gives everything a nice kick, so I went ahead and added in some chili oil (this step is definitely optional). My boyfriend loves peas, so I threw some of those in as well. Cooking Directions: Heat oil in a large frying pot, and throw in spam and hot dogs. Curry Udon | Noodle Recipe By: NamiOn: February 13, 2012 Curry Udon has been a popular menu item in Japan for a long time but still not so well known yet in the US. No worries, nowadays you can buy a box of Japanese Curry Roux at many American supermarkets. It’s very tasty so I hope you try Japanese curry if you haven’t tried it before. Japanese curry when compared to Thai or Indian curry is much thicker and the spices are milder. Some people do make curry roux from scratch and that’s definitely on my to-make list.

Sushi 101: How to Make Sushi Rolls Note: If you missed Class 1, click here. Printable Recipe – California Rolls Sushi rolls are all I ever want in a sushi restaurant, not that I ever go to sushi restaurants, but still. During the course of our sushi unit here on PW Cooks, we’re going to learn to make several different sushi rolls, each increasing in both complexity and decadence. But today we’re starting with one of the most basic sushi rolls: The California Roll. An essential tool used for making sushi rolls is a makisu, or bamboo rolling mat. Here. He just rolled this up really quickly, but it shows how easily the rice will stick to the mat. Repeat this several times and you have a royal mess on your hands. See? You also gain fifteen pounds. Another essential element when it comes to making sushi rolls is nori, or dried seaweed. Nori comes in sheets, and is sold in plastic packages. The best nori to use for sushi is a dark green shade. To begin, fold the pieces of nori in half to split them. Did that even begin to make sense?
Omurice | Easy Japanese Omelette Rice Recipe By: NamiOn: August 14, 2012 I’m back from my 2-week holiday and I really enjoyed my offline time with my family and our vacation to Southern California. I even caught up with a lot of stuff that I procrastinated such as developing pictures and putting them into albums (yes I still print photos). After I started blogging, many of not-so-important things got less attention as I spend my “free” night time just for blogging. As my children’s activities have increased, it has became even more challenging for me to do everything I want in a 24-hour day. I’m really happy to be back and I will need a couple of days to catch up on everything as usual, but hopefully I’ll get back in to the swing of things soon. Today’s recipe is Omurice, or Japanese Omelette Rice. Omurice is a popular contemporary Japanese fusion creation blending Western omelette and Japanese fried rice. The rice is usually pan-fried with ketchup and chicken, then wrapped in a thin sheet of egg omelette.

Kimchi Fried Rice | Fried Rice Recipe By: NamiOn: July 12, 2014 Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap in Korean) is quick, easy, and inexpensive to make, yet this humble meal tastes simply marvelous. Kimchi is made of fermented vegetables (napa cabbage, radish, scallion, and cucumber are used) and it’s a staple in the Korean diet. It tastes spicy and sour, and has a pungent smell. If you have never had kimchi before, or don’t like eating kimchi by itself, try this fried rice recipe because once kimchi is cooked, it loses its pungent taste and leaves just delightful spicy, refreshing, tangy flavors. Unlike other fried rice recipes that use all kinds of ingredients, Kimchi Fried Rice can be simple; with just kimchi and rice. Though my favorite ingredients for kimchi fried rice include Gochujang, a fried egg, and Korean seaweed (I usually put a lot because I love them, but refrained from putting too much for the photos). Here’s the video on How To Make Kimchi Fried Rice on my YouTube Channel! Don’t want to miss a recipe?

Hot and spicy rice cake (Tteokbokki) recipe When I lived in Korea I learned the secret to making good tteokbokki from a famous place in a market. It was run by an old lady who could always be found stirring her tteokbokki. People were lined up to buy it. I saw she used dried anchovies in her stock, and that ingredient made a huge difference in the flavor. I once ran out of dried anchovies and made tteokbokki without it. Ingredients: 1 pound of cylinder shaped rice cake, bought or homemade. Directions: Add the water, dried anchovies, and dried kelp to a shallow pot or pan.Boil for 15 minutes over medium high heat without the lid. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
