Arirang: Korean Restaurant

03Nov09

Our daughter came to visit to collect some of the things we’ve kept while she was in Spain. She spent a few days looking at things she hadn’t seen in four years, deciding what she needed. She went for walks with her dad and Grandpa, visited friends, and cooked with me. We went to a nice Korean restaurant together before she left for California.

Chicken in Coconut Sauce

11Apr09

I’ve posted about Japanese curry, which came to that country in the nineteenth century by way of Britain whose empire once included India. This recipe is an Indian dish, not exactly a curry, but one with another interesting cross-cultural history. There are Jews in India, several different communities of them, and Claudia Roden has a chapter about them in her book, The Book of Jewish Food.

Summer Squash Namul

06Feb09

Last year I did a recipe test called Hobak Namul. I did not think about the name of the recipe at the time, but now I’ve learned that “hobak” is a Korean squash with green skin and yellow flesh. I’ve never seen one! Namul is a Korean term for a seasoned vegetable dish. The test recipe used green and yellow summer squash, but here I’ve used only yellow squash, with carrots.

Kanitama-don is a Japanese crab omelette similar to egg fu yung. It can also be made with shrimp. An easy to make, satisfying meal.
