Hey gang,

I just got back from a night on the town and about to cook up a good Korean-after-drinking-meal: Cheese Shin Ramien.

Take one pack of Shin (spicy) Ramien and boil a half pot'a water. Break the ramien in half and dump it in along with the spices and dried veggies packets. As it's boil'n take one egg and and 1 slice of "cheddar slice cheese". Scramble the egg inna separate bowl. When the ramien is half cooked, then dump in the scrambled egg. Let it cook for 2 more minutes and then it's done. Toss in your single (or double) slice of cheese and stir it up and there you go. A good, "healthy", traditional after drink'n meal. Next up.....Cheese spicy rice cake meal (cheese dok-bokki).

Rice + Pork/Beef/Chicken + bibimbap sauce + dried seaweed. I eat this everyday. I don't eat vegetables, so it makes my meals quick.

Get some 닭갈비 mix from Emart or Lotte Mart, cook that in a pan, cut up some onion and tofu (두부) and fry it in another pan. Cook rice, wash lettuce, and use some seaweed (김) and you've got yourself a pretty good meal. I spent about 16,000 won for everything and it was good for 4 meals.

Making Korean food is easy, only 3 steps.

1. Put food in bowl, can be anything, the weedier the better.
2. Smother food in red pepper paste.
3. Serve (preferebly very hot)

No matter what the color of the original food is, it must always end up red.

If it's not red enough go back to step 2.

Next Eat the food
Wait a few hours for the red pepper paste to irritate your stomach lining, and intestines.
Take a dump that came from hell.

try wikipedia. But basically, get veggies, beef, rice, fried egg and mix. You can leave out the pepper paste if you want, just add some more seasame oil and maybe another egg

You gotta add a couple teaspoons of sesame seed oil and a fried egg, sunny side up.

i dunno if it's worth it if u're in korea. bibimbap is one of those tough love kinda foods. it looks heaps easy to make, but actually takes ages to prepare - u gotta do all the kinds of veggies and the pork etc. better and cheaper just to go to ur little local non-chain 즉석 or 만두 restaurant.

kimchi chiggae's easy - and only requires ONE burner. fry up some chunks of pork (u can ask ur butcher for pork u put in chiggae or i'm sure the supermarket's got it - u can use tuna instead) with kimchi in a largish saucepan. then fill the pot up with water and a sprinkle of 다시다, add some chopped spring onions, pepper, salt and a tiny bit of sugar. similarly to bolognaise sauce, the longer u simmer it, the better it is ( i reckon 1 hour minimum). when it tastes like u want it to (nb u must like kimchi if u wanna like this dish (duh)), u can add some 당면 (tangmyeon - glass noodles made from sweet potato) and firm tofu - or anything else u think will be good. let that cook for like 5 minutes, and then slurp away!

Wonderful and easy to follow! The above is great for vegetarians, but you forgot crucial steps for preparing meat based dishes.

1. Divide meat into two portions.
2. Throw half of meat onto grill.
3. Grill meat til crispy.
4. Throw remaining raw meat on top of cooked portion. Retain raw meat juices, keeping them near the grill to further contaminate utensils and side dishes.
5. Mix meat well, feigning ignorance as onlookers protest.
6. Start picking through undercooked meat for cooked portions.
7. Wrap meat/death mixture in leaves, and enjoy!

For best results, perform steps 4 and 5 in the presence of dazed foreigners who have just arrived in Korea after a 20 hour flight, or prospective Korean inlaws or employers. Be sure to remark how Korean food is better than that of your home country, and cures cancer.

Note: If meal is Korean beef based, and you are American, extol the virtues of Korean beef, then blame your home country for various South Korean social problems, preferably one problem for each side dish.

Now for a spicy cheese ricecake meal....

Buy a small package of that tube-look'n rice cakes that looks to be the size of a finger, sliced cheese and a red tub of red pepper paste (gochujang).

Heat up about 1 cup'a water in a fry'n pan and toss in the rice cakes. Then take 1-2 heaping spoonfuls of red pepper paste and mix that in. Stir repeatedly or the ricecakes will stick to the bottom. When the cakes are soft and the paste turns into a good sauce then toss in the cheese, stir it up and there ya go. You can add seaseme seeds or oil for added flavor.

If you wanna be more adventurous, then try a "spicy ramien-ricecake" meal or what's called "ra-bokki". This time boil 2 cups of water in a frying pan and toss in the ramien first. After a few minutes, follow the above directions. I've seen people toss in dumplings for good messure. It's good, easy, cheap and fast.

If you want, replace the pork with a can of tuna and you've got "tuna chiggae" which is one of my favorites.
