Korean Bibimbap

Dear all,

My friend Roxy and I (among several other of our friends) are just a little crazy about Korean food as well as Japanese food (I studied Japanese at University). We love Korean tv too, but oh the food! So when a Korean food workshop was discovered, we had to go. Here are the results of the first Korean food workshop we went to. Make sure you have a tissue ready to mop up your drewl.

First, Yuk'we, Korean Carpaccio with a sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger marinade. Served with cucumber and pear, and peanuts (though I wasn't a fan of the peanut addition).


Next up, cucumber kimchi and spring onion omelet (the last one either served as a side dish or served with the bibimbap).



Next, the main course, the bibimbap!! Marinated beef, blanched carrot and tauge, mushrooms and spinach. And of course, Korean chilli paste!! Original presentation and after the big hussle ;)





As you can see I'm well pleased with my first home made korean dish! And then we were surprised with some delicous ginseng tea and Korean cupcake for desert, woohoo!








Unfortunately there are no pictures of the next food workshop we went to (kim'bap, boulgogi and daikon kimchi!) but this should be enough to keep you going for a while! (and us, the workshop is full up for the next two months!!)

xoxo Jennifer
