Don’t these food look simply yummy? I have been having cravings for Ginseng Chicken soup. During the weekend we went to Auntie Kim’s Korean Restaurant. The food there tasted much better then the Korean restaurant which we use to frequent at West Coast Highway.

I have always loved watching the K-dramas on TV. K-Pop and K-dramas are all the rage now as most of the stuff we watch and use come from Korea rather then Japan nowadays.

I loved the kimchi and side dishes which they served. We didn’t manage to try out many dishes but out of those we ordered they were tasty.

Food there is quite pricy at $60 for a dinner for two.

One of the cusine which I hope to be able to master is Korean cooking. I hope in time to come I will be able to make my own kimchi and BBQ meats for the family to savour.

I recently chanced upon the recipe for Korean BBQ Beef (Pul-Kogi) at Allrecepies .com

It states the following.

Ingredients

455 g beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 pear – peeled, cored, and minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
60 ml soy sauce
25 g white sugar
15 ml sesame oil
15 ml rice wine
9 g sesame seeds
2 g minced fresh ginger
freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine beef with garlic, pear, green onions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice wine, sesame seeds, fresh ginger, and ground black pepper. Seal, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Preheat grill pan over high heat. Brush oil over grill pan, and add beef. Cook, turning to brown evenly, for 3 to 6 minutes, or until done.

It seems simple enough to make for the boys to eat. I guess when I get around to getting all the ingredients I can start experimenting on making this dish.
