I passed a street vendor outside Kyoto station selling home made Kimchee. I tasted a sample and bought three packages. Stuff was great! So I figured I'd make some Bibimbap and kimchee for dinner tonight. Make it a good Korean evening!

If you have an Asian market near you, you can probably buy 'Kochujang ,' (Kochijan) the Korean spicy bean paste already made up. It's a necessary flavor for Korean cooking.

Ingredients:
* 18 ounces chicken breasts
* 6 eggs, separated
* 12 ounces carrots, julienned
* 12 ounces cucumbers, julienned
* 12 ounces spinach, cooked and shredded
* sesame oil, as needed
* salt, pepper to taste
* 6 cups cooked sushi rice
* 1 cup soy sauce
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup garlic, minced
* 1/4 cup chopped white scallion
* 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted and crushed
* 1/4 cup chili bean paste (kochujang)
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 tablespoon water

Directions:
1. 1 Make the marinade:
Combine 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped white scallion, 3 tablespoons toasted, crushed sesame seeds and pepper to taste.
2. 2 Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, matchstick sized.
3. 3 Let rest at least 2 hours in marinade -- refrigerated.
4. 4 Season egg yolks with salt. Beat until smooth.
5. 5 Lightly oil and heat nonstick pan over medium flame.
6. 6 Cook yolks crêpe-style. Transfer crêpes to. sheet pan to cool.
7. 7 Repeat process with egg whites. (If necessary, add small. amount of cornstarch-water mixture to keep whites smooth.).
8. 8 Julienne white and yellow crêpes. Reserve.
9. 9 Season carrots and cucumber with salt. Set aside 5 minutes. Rinse; pat dry. Saute in sesame oil. Reserve.
10. 10 Stir-fry spinach in sesame oil. Reserve.
11. 11 Arrange chicken, egg, vegetables around rice.
12. 12 Make Kochujang sauce: combine 1/4 cup kochujang (chile-bean paste), 2 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon water in saucepan. Heat to boil, stirring constantly.
13. 13 Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture reduces, 3-5 minutes.
14. 14 Serve Kochujang sauce with the Bibimbap

I love this soup. Not exactly my receipe, but close I add extra mushrooms and garlic! No onion. I'll have to find my recipe or type it in....

This is a soothing and delicious low-fat soup that can be made completely vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for chicken broth. Quick and easy to make, this is a great soup when you need homemade soup in a hurry.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2 tsp canola oil
* 1 cup finely chopped onion
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 large carrot, cut vertically then sliced
* 1 stalk celery, sliced
* 10 ounces sliced mushrooms, assorted if you can
* 1/2 tsp dried thyme
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley
* 1 quart fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
* 2 tbsp dry sherry

Preparation:
Heat oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Cook onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms on medium heat until softened. Add dried herbs, barley, broth and sherry. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until barley is tender.

Well, yeah, that's not how I do mine...I'll really have to post it, but that one does sound good.

And could be made vegan if you like.

We ate this fish stew in the Philippines, at the house of one of the boat crew. I don't know the name of this dish, but I did get the recipe. I think it will be great for dinner tonight to take the chill out of the air! I'll just call it;

Philippine Tamarind Fish Stew!

1 mild white fish cut into desired pieces
1 small knob of ginger root, crushed
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 medium onion; sliced
5" of dikon; sliced
1 medium eggplant, sliced
10 string beans cut into 2” lengths
1 cup Water Morning Glory leaves (goes by lots of different names, but pretty common in every country)
2 crushed tamarind
8 cups water
Salt or fish sauce (I use Thai nam pla. Vietnamese Nuc mam would work too.)

Put all except the fish in a pot of water and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Add the fish and simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve with rice.

Everything in that sounds awesome. I think we in Oz might call it "water spinach", and I saw somewhere that it actually seems to also grow native in the far north, but I am uncertain of all of this (I may have seen it under a "choy" name too). I'll have to keep a look out, and finally make it into the Tewantin Asian grocer I ride past all the time. Very curious. However...the fish. I'm not, and The Loved One is not, fond if your average "white fish". Could you use something else in this dish?

Also, I meant to say, the Bibimbap and kimchee post prior looks even awesomer (so much awesomer that I am overwhelmed into making up a word like "awesomer").

Cheers,
Marc

That IS another of it's names. It grows wild in the culverts around the rice paddies in Thailand, and as soon as someone cleans it out, another crop is ready in just a couple of weeks. It's considered a 'noxious weed' in Texas, not because it's bad for you, but because it will overtake everything, choking out all other water plants.

I suppose so. I guess the idea was that it shouldn't be a strongly flavored fish.

Good word. Fitting. I like it so much that we usually have it at least once a month. Asian markets sell a pre-packed veggie bag of Bibimbap, so all you have to do it dump in on a bowl of rice, pour some kochijan over it, and if you like, the raw egg, stir it all up, and you have a dinner in five minutes. I pass on the raw egg. My wife puts on two!

For SneakySnake (EDIT: Oops! That should have read 'Shel!') (but the rest of you guys can make it too..)

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening (I like butter flavored Crisco for this one)
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sift the dry stuff together
Cut in the shortening
add the liquids

Mix to combine but don't over mix.
Knead 2-3 times just to get it to hold together
Roll out to about 1/2 inch and cut with a floured biscuit cutter DO NOT TWIST!
Bake at 450° (230°c) for about 10-12 minutes

Makes about a dozen biscuits

Eat and enjoy!

Just be sure NOT to work the dough. If you knead it like a bread dough the biscuits will not be light and fluffy. Only move it around enough to hold together when you roll it out. I made that mistake the first time I tried making these and the results were 1/2 inch thick baked dough. Same thing happens if you twist the cutter.

Anybody have a recipe for biscuits or some sort of quick roll that does NOT require baking powder? I don't like the taste of baking powder. I know you can use yeast, but that takes forethought.

What if you try replacing the baking powder with baking soda?
Here is a recipe:

I'll give that a try! I've made a similar Irish Soda Bread with those ingredients, and liked it, I think.
