I’m very happy with the dishes I whipped up today for my family! It was much faster since I only focused on 3 dishes, and we ate it with shin ramen. I think the thing about Korean food that makes me happy is how colorful and playful it is with the variety of each small dish. I made:
-Steamed Egg with green onion
-Pickled Cucumber <– honestly could devour a giant bowl by myself
-Beef Pancakes
I’m only going to follow Maangchi’s Youtube recipes from now on… hers seem to work better.
I’m not really a fan of grating, shaving, or frying things because it’s annoying, so I try to avoid those. But today I tried coating my beef slices with flour and egg before pan frying it, and it was quite successful in my opinion! My parents enjoyed it, and you can tell it’s good when most of it’s finished by the end of the meal. I did remember to take a quick picture… here’s me with my game face on and my lucky Harry Potter shirt on, and then the actual dishes, topped with leftover bean sprout banchan from the day before:
Notes to self: need to do the steps more carefully for the beef pancakes, and coat with more flour so there’s a clearer egg casing on the outside, also try to slice the steak thinner.
Tomorrow’s Banchan Attempts:
-Potato Redemption
-Eggplant with a different recipe
-Seafood / veggie pancake
