Hey Valkrian2,

Where can I get some roast beef? I grabbed about a hundred packets of Arby's sauce last time I was home and would die for a roast beef sandwich.

Arby's Melt.....aarrrggghhhhhh........

OK Chicken Experiment #1.

Yes, that's what we call it.

This might seem long and complicated, but it's not. It all goes into one pot and one person can eat this for a couple of solid meals.

You will need a large pot.

Buy a chopped chicken....or chop it yourself.
use 1/2 of said chicken.
Olive oil....maybe 2 tablespoons.
rinse chicken.
dry chicken.
pat coarse sea salt onto chicken.
medium heat fry chicken to brown on all sides.
let stuff stick to the pot. that is good.
before finished frying, make a mirepoix 1/8 inch cube cut) of carrot, celery onion. Use, 4 parts onion, 2 parts carrot, 1 part celery.
add to pot. (this is for flavor base)
when you have a nicely browned mess of chicken and veggies in your pot, it's time to add water.
add abotu 1.5 liters of water.
add a bay leaf.
add thyme if you have it.
I dont. I am sad.
crush and add some whole balck pepper.
chilis. there are small green chilis, and then there are the larger ones that koreans eat raw and whole. use those.
I put four or five in the pot. I chop the top off, thats it.
cover and simmer for 40 minutes.

add 1 large potato, cut in bite size pieces.
add 1 large carrot, cut same.
add 1/2 onion, cut same.
(you can add squash if you want too.)

simmer until veggies are cooked. add a small amount of water if needed.
when you get to a chili, hold the thin tip, and squeeze (or suck) the innards of the chili out. Nice kick.

Chicken breast, chicken breast and MORE chicken breast.... Also a pan fried steak is better than you would think.... Add som bugoggi sauce to chicken and toast a bagel with lettuc onion green pepper cheese and tomato for a real nice chicken sandwhich!!!!!!!

Also sea food is cheap here if you haven't noticed!! If you don't like sea food then PULL your HEAD from your ass cause it's AMAZZZING!!!

Salmon steaks pan fried with lemon pepper is 10 times more amazing that you'd first think says I!!!

Buy a remoska - not to sound too dramatic but it's changed my life! Honestly - you can do lasagne, pies, bakes, biscuits etc - even a full Sunday roast. It's just amazing. I got mine from Lakeland Limited - cost around 100quid but well worth it.

They don't sell fish in my town...and its a fishing town. I just can't get into the dried out wierd stuff, and they only have fresh on the market days, when I have to work. and it smells like FISH! Which means it ain't that fresh.

Go to Dandy's market next to Hannam market and buy a bunch of curry paste packs. He has a variety of Thai, Indian, Malaysian and other South Asian curry single meal packs. The brand is called Asian home gourmet. Here's their website so you can check out the flavours.

Go there and look for vegetarian soups and chilis. I also don't eat the meat here... so I make soup and pasta a lot.

Make rice and fish?
