korean chicken (jjim dalk)

i'm really thankful that i have friends who enjoy eating.

this past weekend, my friends and i made jjim dalk.

i think i can confidently say this it was one of the best korean dishes we've ever made.

-ingredients needed:

1 whole chicken (ask the butcher to cut it up for you)

2 yellow onions

4 potatoes

2 carrots

5-8 dried red peppers

green onion (the big one...dont know what its called...but you can use normal if you want)

korean vermachelli noodles

-for the sauce:

1 cup soy sauce

3 cups water

4tbsn sugar (you can add less sugar if you dont want it to be too sweet)

4 tbsn corn syrup (we used sugar instead)

1 tbsn oyster sauce

1 tspn black pepper 

1tbsn garlic

a little sliver of ginger

3 tbsn meerim (heres a picture in case you have no idea what it is)

-first cook the chicken in boiling water for just a couple minutes

-then chop up your vegis

(cut them a little big so they dont disappear during the cooking process)

(picture is of only half the amount of vegis listed)

-place the vegis into the pot (except green onion)

 

-place the semi cooked chicken on top of vegis

-pour combined sauce over the chicken and vegis

-place lid and cook for almost 20 mins

  

-place the semi cooked vermachelli noodles and green onion mix and serve

 

enjoy :)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!!

I'm not really much of a gift giving person.

instead, I enjoy making things for ppl.

this year, I decided to cook dinner for the family.

a nice and simple dinner for 5.

enjoy.

 

in my backyard, i have a lemon and an orange tree. 

decided it'd be nice to make some fresh squeezed lemonade ... with strawberries ...yumm

  

spaghetti with asparagus, smoked mazarella and prosciutto

this spaghetti was pretty good.

very clean in flavor.

very simple to make...and it allowed for my brothers to eat vegetables (a double plus)

  

Chicken Saltimbocca

I really liked this dish. 

for me, whenever I find a new recipe where I can use chicken breast....

I like it.

  

what it looks like when cut

  

to empty the fridge....

stuffed zucchini

everyone enjoyed this the most I think...

zucchini, onion, garlic, corn, green onion, basil, parmesan cheese, salt/pepper

now...for...dessert:

  

puff pastry tower

with the help of the roll out pastry dough,

made a simple dessert.

whipped cream, vanilla pudding, strawberries.

 

now...to be honest...I have no idea why I made 2 desserts.

I think I was a bit greedy haha

and plus...who doesnt like dessert?

Creme Brulee

what a perfect way to end the dinner.

Happy Mothers Day!! ^^
