Here is a delicious side dish from Korea that really shines. I had some baby bok choy available and found this recipe from KimchiChick, which really intrigued me. It seems so simple and it looks incredible. So, I made it and enjoyed it with glass noodles and stir-fried chicken breast. I let this dish be the primary flavor and wow, what flavor! I will definitely make this again… and soon!

While researching something new and different to make with pork tenderloin, I cam across this Serious Eats recipe for Daeji Bulgogi. If the description was not enough to convince me to try this dish, the pictures sure were. Also, this dish allows me to use my new Korean BBQ grill pan if the weather does not allow me to use the grill – which was the case. I really enjoyed this simple grilled pork tenderloin dish.

I saw this dish in a recent email and thought ‘dang, that looks good!’ and upon reading more, I just knew I had to make it. Chefs David Chang and Tien Ho have created a deeply flavorful fusion of Korean, Chinese and Italian cuisine with this dish. Of course, I made a few minor adjustments in order to cook this dish for one. This dish follows closely on the tails of its distant cousin Italian recipe – Pasta Genovese – the slow cooked onion sauce with beef. Except for needing to cook the onions a lengthy time, the similarities stop there. The rest of this dish…
“What?” you say? Well, last night I tested something I have wanted to try for a while. Based on the ever popular London Broil, I slathered a top sirloin in Korean gochujang and cooked it sous vide style before grilling it as a finish. The results – amazing! My pairings with this dish are a bit of a hack based on what I had available. I had Brussel sprouts, so I made some as balsamic glazed and the rest shredded with rice vinegar and sriracha as a fake kimchi. Rest assured, I will create a post for this recipe (and more appropriate side dishes) in the future, but I could not resist sharing the photos of my ‘experiment’ with all of you! Enjoy! Save…
