Take Subway line 1 and get off at Nampo-dong. I can't remember the exit number but there're sign (in English) for it.

Prepare to be lost for hours, there's much to see!

Hey, has anybody tried to make pasta here? If they have, and done so successfully, where did you find semolina flour?

On another note, has anybody found Arborio or Carnaroli rices here for Risotto?

I've seen Semolina for sale nearly every time I'm at the foreign food market in Itaewon.

I have not see any risotto rices though.

this may have been posted before, perhaps even on this thread but it's too long to check out, so:

go here for help. all you do is check the box next to the ingredient if you have it on hand, and then you get a list of possible recipes you can make with those ingredients. really easy.

Does anyone know if chicken breast is easily found and also is it cheap?

I ask because I was in Korea for 2 weeks and when I told my uncle that I only eat the breast of the chicken (I try to eat healthy) he gave me a blank stare and said Koreans don't eat it that often.

Molasses can sometimes be found in larger supermarkets labelled as caramel in Korean: 캐러멜

It is a dark, opaque liquid that is obviously molasses, not caramel. But it is thinner than good molasses, and far more bitter. I wouldn't be surprised if it is what's left over after removing the blackstrap molasses. Whether it is usable for recipes calling for molasses is not something I can certify.

I see molasses is translated as: 당밀

Perhaps you can find some better molasses through a store specializing in baking supplies, such as on the web.

If I were to bring over any 'specifically western' spices that I couldnt get in Korea what should I bring with??

Also I've heard that you can get most western food in Korea. Is this true or is it really expensive or anything?

Makes a tasty, quick, easy meal!

Directions:
- cut the sausage into round slices
- boil a pot of water and throw the slices in there
- let the sausage cook for a couple minutes
- then throw in the noodles from the Macaroni
- when noodles are cooked, drain most of the water (leave some though!)
- pour in the powdered cheese and mix
(for added flavor and calories haha throw in some melted butter)

(I know some people mix the powdered cheese with whole milk but i don't like to do that, makes the dish taste a lot more buttery and creamy which disturbs the taste between the sausage and the mac n' cheese.)
