what food to cook for my korean husband's birthday (besides seaweed soup and redbean rice). i m not korean.tks

Answer 1

TO DARK MO......

I heard that was during the war....when they were dying no food no water,no heat, nothing,....our soldiers ate that too. so don't be so damn stupid.
My own Grandfather was saved by a Korean Man... in the war..they ate somethings together that we wouldn't imagine. believe me he survived a war eating strange things,,,,only to come home and die by his own countrymen.


Anyhow.....make him Kalbi....go get short ribs at the Korean market...they have bottled Kalbi sauce....marinade for a few hours. then you can grill them BBQ style or in the oven. do not cook to long. they should be very tender.
with that shred some lettuce and make a mixture of:
1/4 cup. mayo,
2 teaspoons ketchup.
mix together as a dressing for the lettuce.
Mixture should be slightly pink....

3 eggs and scramble in a bowl...
add a little smashed garlic
salt for taste
dash of soy sauce.
green onions chopped
mix all together

put in frying pan, let it spread to all corners as if you were making scrambled eggs. but do not scramble.
start folding sides like rolling a burrito. when done cut into small slices.

SErve the Kalbi with some sweet and sour sauce.
and of corse serve with rice.
but heres a cute little thing that i do. i take a small bowl and put the rice in it pack it tightly. then turn the bowl over on the plate with the other food. it stays compact and looks very nice.
I am not Korean but I love My Korean Bo and he loves me.. go to the Korean market and pick up an English cook book. they have lots of good stuff in there. i can cook allota things. i gave you something easy and quick....but it's good.
P.S. be careful when adding salt to taste...the soy sauce and salt and be a strong combo.

Answer 3

Make him some kimchee (recipe below) with a couple of Napa cabbages. You should be able to find these at your local grocery store. Follow the recipe, pack it into a nice glass jar with a tight sealing lid, and it will keep for months.

Yum! Tell hubby "Saeng il chuk ha ham ni da!"



And to AngelDust: Dog is still eaten widely in Korea and many other parts of the world. In Korea it is typically "farmed dog", so it's not like people are eating their pets! Fundementally there is no difference between eating a dog or a cow, other than habit, is there?

Answer 4

Well, due to restrictions on my hubby's beef intake, I've made a few modifications to our grilled food that still gives you the "feel" of a hamburger. I've actually started to like them too. Here's a recipe if you are interested: 6 large portobello mushrooms 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced black pepper A-1 steak sauce Wash the mushrooms very carefully to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and set the mushrooms aside. Combine the olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice & pepper together in a small pot on the grill. Cut the largest mushrooms into halves or into strips. Brush the portobellos with the olive oil mixture. On a covered grill over medium coals, grill the portobellos stem-side down for about 7 to 8 minutes. Turn and grill the tops of the portobello mushrooms for about 6 to 8 minutes longer. The grilled portobello mushrooms should be tender and nicely browned. I serve them with an A-1 steak sauce and they taste wonderful. You can serve them on a bun and add any healthy condiments (lettuce, onions, mustard, etc.) and fixings that you would add to a hamburger.

Answer 5

Indeed.... the first person that answered has it right on the head... no matter what you serve him, you need to have kimchi there for him, as I can guarantee it will remind him of home. You might even wish to try finding a recipe for Bool Gogi, which are bonless beef ribs (if you've a trader joe's near you, they carry it already marinated), or, if you're feeling very adventurous, you can try your hand at making Bi Bim Bab.

Answer 6

make Japchae (transparent noodle with beef and vegetables)... Although it's not specially dedicated for birthday.. japchae is served for many special occasions...

Here is the recipe...

Ingredients: 1 pack transparent noodle (dangmyun),
(soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, drained)
1 medium onion, thin sliced
1/2 carrot, thin julienne
1 bunch spinach, blanched, cut into 3 inches
10 oz thin slice beef
5 green onions, cut in a bias
7 shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated, thin sliced
oil to saute
salt and pepper
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Beef marinade: 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp minced garlic,
1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Shiitake marinade: 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil

Noodle seasoning: 1 and 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp vegetable oil

In a non stick pan, add oil and saute vegetables.
All ingredients have to be cooked separately.
To use the same pan, start with light color vegetable.
An ideal order will be onion - green onions - carrot - shiitake mushrooms - beef.
The vegetables don't have to get any color, just need to be softened.
Saute and move to a big bowl to cool a little bit.
Put a non-stick wok or large pan on a medium heat.
Add dang myon seasoning, pour in dang myon.
Bring to a boil, stir occasionally for a few minutes until dang myon absorbs water.

In about 10-15 minutes they start to stick together.
From this point, stir constantly until the noodle gets soft and translucent.
Take off from the heat, let cool for a while.
If needed cut the length.
Mix with vegetables, sesame seeds, salt and pepper to taste.
