what're some good things that you guys like to cook up?
i'm thinking of making some sweetpotato fries panfried in butter, or sweetpoptato hashbrowns n curried eggs with some diced up onions and hot peppers n garlic.

Chili. The most exotic ingredients it requires is canned tomatoes and kidney beans. Aside from that you just need ground pork, onions, garlic, carrots, chilis, a can of corn, some red pepper, and a big block of tofu.

Ratatouille is also easy to make. Tomatoes, eggplant, olive oil, green pepper, garlic, and a zucchini are pretty much all you need. Except for the olive oil, it's all available at your local shijang. Just chop it all up and melt/boil it together in a pot.

Fish. There's always someone selling fish. Just tell them you're making 소금 구이, and they'll cut off the head, fins, and tail. Then cook it in your George Foreman oven for 10-20 mins.

Last night I made up a big pot of jolof rice and chicken...chicken, onions, green beans, bell peppers and rice in tomato sauce with cayenne, red pepper flakes and nutmeg. Spicy and yummy. And fast. From start to finish in just over an hour.

I wondered about the tofu AND carrots.

Not to gloat, but I just whipped up a batch of cinnamon rolls. Someone mentioned them on another post and I suddenly got a craving. You know how it is. So I went in the kitchen and made some. They're rising now. Waiting is the hardest part. The second hardest part: deciding if I should make powdered sugar frosting for them. Hmmm...to frost or not to frost? Existential quandaries like this are my downfall.

Frost for sure, it increases the enjoyment factor by at least 3.

i like to make jay-yuk-boekum

fill pot with almost an inch of water, add some sugar and two huge tablespoons of that red pepper paste that comes in the red containers. add a clove of garlic or 2 and through in some of that red spice the koreans love..

bring to a boil and add the jay yuk boekum meat and veggies, onions, seasame? leaves, mushrooms, green hot peppers, 1 bag of kimchi and i personally like brocolli so i'll throw a head of that in as well...

it's just a big stew so i guess you can add whatever you want/like so go to town.. just let it boil for like 15 or 20 and then take it off the heat to simmer for a while...

good luck. and keep the ideas coming, it's one of the most constructive things this website has been used for...

I made muslei the other day, and some lentil, tomato, lemongrass thing. Quite tasty.


I'm going to try Kashmiri Roghan Josh when I get the chance.
