Korean-Style Steak
51 month ago
Our schedules are very different this semester, but we have made the promise that we are going to try have home-cooked dinners together as much as possible. We started this week by cooking steak on our portable grill. I broke out some leftover soju, and we had a nice impromptu Korean meal.
Our favorite restaurant in Korea serves a side dish that consists of raw onions with a dark sauce poured over them. I would go to that particular restaurant just to eat the onions, and hate that I didn’t ask them how to make the sauce. We have been struggling to replicate this sauce ever since we got back to America. The main ingredient has to be soy sauce, but it also contains wasabi and other spices/oils. You can see our attempt in the photograph in the bottom left corner above, and although our attempt was not terrible, there was something missing, but I just don’t know what it was. Thankfully, everything else turned out great.

Wanhee cooking it up
To get in the spirit of our upcoming trip to Korea, we had a Korea barbeque last night. One of our good friends is quite the cook, and he did all of the cooking. Since it has been awahile since we have hosted one of these parties, when we return from Korea, it will be our turn to cook.
I am getting excited about all the Korean meals that JJ and I are going to be able to enjoy in Korea. I have been missing the multitude of side dishes that are served with meals in Korea. We really do not have a problem obtaining Korean cuts of beef, but getting good side dishes has been a problem.
Jaemon is camera shy
Jaemon is one of the reasons that my Korean has improved a bit over the last few months. Jaemon is usually the one that interrupts me when I am telling a story in English and implores me to continue in Korean. His English is very good, and he only asks so that I get more practice in Korean. I have made some improvement, but the real test will be in a couple of weeks when I am surrounded by family that speaks little English. I have been brushing up on a few key phrases that I know will be uttered by father in law and can only hope that I will have the correct responses.
