Im sick of eating crap when there is all this delicious healthy looking fish, shellfish, crabs at the supermarket.

To make it short and sweet is there an online resourse for cooking this stuff or other stuff from the market?

[tiger fancini]

There probably is but good luck finding it....

If you like fish why not buy a whole salmon, chop it up and freeze it? Then shave it paper-thin (while still frozen), put lemon juice and cracked black pepper on it and eat it raw on crackers. That's exactly what I'll be doing when I get home today.

isnt that smoked salmon?

If I don't kill it in front of me I surely wouldn't be eating it raw!

How Do I Cook Korean Food?

General Korean food - chicken, fish, etc....

1. Throw it in the pot and douse it with red pepper paste. Works equally well with any other edible substance.

2. Wrap it in seaweed sheets you find at supermarkets anywhere.

Korean Pizza

1. Start with a totally tasteless crust mix.

2. Spread cheap ketchup all over the crust in place of real pizza sauce.

3. Take any combination of repulsive toppings (but always be sure to include corn) and top with cheese.

How to cook Korean Food

a. Find some worms laying on the ground and boil them
b. Find a stray dog, put it out of it's misery and put it in a stone pot
c. Get any kind of meat and cook it in red pepper sauce
d. Get some dried fish, nuke some rice and wrap the two in seaweed
e. Mix noodles, kimchi and ramen powder together


I may have forgotten a few recipes but these are the ones that come off the top of my head.

Use a lot of soy sauce.

Some people seem to have a kind of complex about Korean food.

If I only had enough money to eat in "decent" Korean restaurants daily, I would never touch any Western stuff you can find here. I hope you realise that Korean food is something more than bibimbap, ramyeon or bulgogi.

I like how it took 6 posts before someone actually had a website to post. Korean food is fairly straightforward depending on what you are doing. here are two sites that Ive been using for a couple years now without fail.

The second website got me some good eats on a shoestring budget my last year of college. Definetly worth a look. If you are thinking of getting into cooking Korean food, its a really good way to start out. Its pretty simple, tastes great and after youve mad ethe dish twice youve got the recipie down.

Good Luck!

Cooking usually requires a heat source. Do you have a gas range, electric range, oven, toaster, toaster oven, or microwave? I would start there, if I were you.

You might try google as well. There may be other ways to cook Korean food that I haven't thought of. For example, to make creme brulee, the French use a blow torch to caramelise the top before service. Perhaps Korea has some similar idiosyncratic technique for cooking.

Some helpful tips

Be sure to wash all pots, pans and utensils in cold water prior to and after cooking. Allow dishes to air dry on floor.

Encourage children (your own or from the neighborhood) to run haphazardly all over the kitchen, especially when hot water/oil is involved. If possible, change diapers on cooking surface during preparation.

Use only pure Korean tap water when making soups or sauces.
