Red wine chocolate cake

Saturday night, New York City was the loudest I’d heard it in a long time. I should preface this by saying that I live in a noisy part of an already noisy neighborhood and under the best of circumstances — NYU students gone for the summer, long holiday weekend, rain — there’s always a Saturday night ruckus. But this was something else. I don’t have a 9/11 story. The next year was a blur of trying to get our heads around the unfathomable, and I barely remember it. This month marks another anniversary, the fifth of this site.

You can use beef, pork, mushrooms, etc. for jangjorim, and I already posted the beef jangjorim dish before.

Salty beef side dish (jangjorim Jangjorim is one of the most loved Korean side dishes. It’s also a popular item for lunch boxes. I love to add lots of green chile peppers to my jangjorim. I enjoy not only the beef taste but also the juice, which contains saltiness from soy sauce, good aroma from green chile pepper, and a little sweetness from kelp, garlic and honey. I don’t know why I think the eggs in jangjorim are much more delicious than any regular hardboiled eggs. After eating all solid ingredients, what will you do with the leftover juice? Mix your warm rice with the juice! Cooking time: 1.5 hours Ingredients: 1 pound of beef (flank steak or round part), soy sauce, water, honey, garlic, eggs, shishito peppers (kkwarigochu in Korean), dried kelp.

That looks sooo good, have to try it by em.. Dec 3

This came out amazing! I'm not sure if it's the lack of oil and water in the recipe or the fact that I had to put it in the oven for a little longer but it came out a bit crumbly. But somehow not dry. I suggest eating it with a spoon rather than a fork. =) by mightyhedgehog Sep 3
