Momofuku Pork Buns; The Hard and Easy Way

March 11, 2011

I’ve learned there are two ways two make the Momofuku pork buns. One is time consuming and unrewarding, the other, quick and stress free. I made the buns soon after the cookbook came out, during a full day of frantic Fuku cooking. Trying four new recipes from the cookbook isn’t recommended in one afternoon. There [...]

Kimchi Miso Dumplings

March 4, 2011

More fun with miso, this time kimchi based dumplings. One batch with firm pressed/minced tofu, another with ground pork. The great thing about using kimchi for dumplings is it has inherent flavor, and this kimchi had scallions, so I didn’t need to add a bunch of ingredients for flavor or filler. It’s super fast to [...]

Miso Carbonara

March 3, 2011

On my recent visit to the BuHi Farmer’s market, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase some miso paste. I’ve known that there are loads of options for this fermented soybean product, but I had yet to dig into the possibilities. Miso can be used in a variety of ways – a condiment, the [...]

I was driving back from Greenville to Atlanta on Friday, which of course meant I’d be stopping in Duluth to eat. Duluth is so far from my place on the Westside, and my schedule has been so busy, I really don’t get up that way to eat much lately unless I happen to be passing [...]

The writing in this cookbook takes this tone often, but I like it. It’s straight forward, and often admits that some things are ridiculously tedious, whereas the [...]

Bon Appetit: Deep-Fried Egg with Sriracha Remoulade

March 6, 2010

Bon Appétit Series Background Recap: I was tired of reading the magazine each month, saying, “Oh that looks great, I’ll make that”, then the magazine ends up in the cupboard or trash, never to been seen again. Never more! Now I’m holding myself publicly accountable; each month I will cook at least one recipe from [...]

One Last Weekend Before Christmas

December 21, 2009

I can’t believe it’s already Christmas. It always sneaks up on me. So is it any shock that I’m behind on buying gifts? This Saturday I made a mad dash to try to wrap up my Christmas shopping, plus I needed to buy some stuff for a cheesy Christmas sweater/pot luck party that night. Instead [...]

Hankook Taqueria

December 11, 2009

Whenever people discuss Hankook Taqueria, the first and only Korean taco joint in town, people are inevitably going to bring up Kogi. Kogi burst onto the LA food scene in early 2009 with a variety of unique Korean/Latin fusion offerings available at their mobile restaurant (aka taco truck). They went über-viral when they got on [...]
