Korean cold soy milk noodles

Dear all,

I've been having a lot of Korean food lately - it is just so good!! Another friend of mine made these cold noodles in soy milk, I forget the name, but not the flavour. Fascinatingly good!




So above are a few of the ingredients we needed, improvised as we were limited to ingredients we could easily get from a Dutch supermarket.


And then then finished dish! Soba noodles in soy milk (to which we added a mix of ground nuts and sesame seeds), with smoked chicken, cucumber and tomato. It was an absolutely lovely summer dish!

Dakgalbi

Dear all,

My friend makes the BEST dakgalbi, spicy grilled chicken with vegetables (korean style). She has made it for me twice now, on a Friday night, after coming home from a long day at work. It is the best thing ever at times like that. Paired with some korean liquor (makgeolli or soju) and my Friday night is complete!



She makes two versions, one with and one without cheese. See the cheese version below.



It definitely adds something, I think the cheese version has my preference!



Dakgalbi, rice, kimchi, makgeolli - perfect night!

Courgette cake

Dear all,

Carrot cake is a well-known thing. You've seen me make a parsnip cake. This time it's the courgette's turn~! Very similar to a carrot cake in many ways, this courgette loaf cake was covered in an orange cream cheese icing:



For a bit of added flavour there was orange rind in the cake as well.



All in all a great cake! Not particularly special, but a great way to use up some courgette ^^

Cake to order

Dear all,

I do on occasion get requests to bake cakes. This time it was for a group of 20-30 people so I did two tray bake cakes. I went for my two favourite flavours: carrot cake and chocolate guinness cake!

Strawberry cheesecake-cake

Dear all,

In June I promised close-up pics of the strawberry cheesecake-cake. Here they are!






I made this cake so often, I can 100% recommend it. Why not try it yourself? (click!)

Birthday biscuits

Dear all,

It's time for another round of brother birthday bakes!

My brother had been sending me pictures of cakes and biscuits he had found online which made us all drool. As a gift I thought I would recreate some of the bakes he sent me and present him with a big cookie jar full of them!

More Korean Food

Dear All,

I was recently given a Korean cookbook - fantastic! I can now expand my Korean food repertoire.

This had to be tried immediately of course. And so in combination with a few favourites I tried out two new dishes. A 5-colour bean sprout salad and a rice cake stir fry. All extremely tasty!
