 |
|
| Just made a roasted chicken in my convection oven. stuffed an onion and butter inside. rubbed with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and sprinkled flour on it. For 3000 won, which was the cost of the chicken, I think that may be about the best meal I could make for that price. Anyone have any other cheap fantastic meal ideas? |

For 3000 won, I bought some good fishbait, went out and caught a humongous salmon, hacked it open on the spot and chowed down with a dash of wasabi and soya sauce on the side. It was great.
I don't do it all that often though, after hearing talk about too much mercury in the fish and all that.
Well that's a different twist on trolling.  |

I like to do something similar but I use the microwave.
For stuffing, rip apart 2 or 3 slices of bread or a couple of small buns into small pieces. Mix with sage or poultry seasoning, some chopped onion, 1 stick of chopped celery if you have some and 1 teaspoon of cooking oil.
Take the chicken and quickly brown it top and bottom in the frypan. This will give you the crispy oven roasted skin.
Sprinkle with rosemary, thyme and/or parsley flakes. Add the stuffing.
Cook for 20-25 minutes (uncovered) in the microwave. For additional flavor you can add potato, carrot, onion and celery to the same pot that you are cooking the chicken in.
One pot meal suitable for 1-4 people depending on the size of the chicken and how many veggies you put in the pot.
side note here - you can buy a cheap 700watt microwave oven (Konglish = electric range) for about 70k-90k won at Home Plus, Lotte mart/department store, E-mart, Wallmart or Yongsan. Best 70k won you will spend in your kitchen.
I also like to make the occasional cake. Crumb cakes are quick and easy.
2 c flour
1 c sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1c orange juice (240ml)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1c marg or butter.
Combine the flour, sugar and butter. mix by hand until it has the texture of course sand. Take out 1c (240ml) of this mix and set aside for the topping.
Now add the baking powder, orange juice and egg. Mix well. Put in a greased or no-stick microwavable pot. (I use a "Visions" 2 liter pot.)
Add the cinnamon to the topping mix. Stir well. Sprinkle on top of the cake batter.
Place in a 700watt microwave for about 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
If you don't like cinnamon you can substitue vanilla powder and use any fruit juice that you prefer for the liquid.

| Breakfast sandwhich, aka "toast". 1 Egg, 2 slices cheese, 2 pieces of ham, and 2 slices of bread. Oh, and a bit of butter for your little egg frying pan and your skillet for grilling the toast. That's been breakfast every weekend for the past month.^~ You can even fry up some homefries (cube some potatoes, dice some onion, and season) and you're still within the 3000 won budget. |

So, do you always take a ham sandwich to a banquet? |

I hook up that sandwich on the regular. But now I got a toaster, which is far preferable to butter-grilling. |

I ate a whole 19,000 Won, family size, combination pizza from Mr. Lee. Does that count?
3000 Won chicken? That's pretty cheap!
Wish I had a big ass oven. Baked chicken is good. |

got my oven at costco-little expensive, 160,000, can get one on the internet for half that. cooks up to 475 degrees fah/250 celsius. Can cook a 12 inch pizza, full chicken, no problem. If you are here for more than a year, don't wait another minute, it will save you from the drudgery of Korean food every day, or, of frying or boiling or nuking everything. Best thing I've bought in Korea, other than my $220 queen size bed. [/list][/quote] |

you could also buy a rotisserie chicken from a street vender for about the same amount of cash. there, you just saved yourself and hour and a half in the kitchen!
i can't believe teachers actually go out and buy ovens here. |

A chicken roasted on the street, coated with car exhaust, just doesn't have the same savor as a chicken roasted at home with garlic and rosemary in the oil used to baste the bird, not to mention the roasted vegetables (potatoes, onions and garlic sprinkled with Parmesan and dill).
I could also mention home-made lasagna, sour dough bread, ginger bread, casseroles, roast turkey for Christmas...but I won't. |
