erato Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This is the Korean Mango [known to the world as Persimmon, and to us, Filipinos as Mabolo] *There's a Mabolo tree in my backyard but I've never eaten this fruit until a Korean family served me one. I cannot appreciate this fruit's taste (wala naman yata talaga akong taste?) but I guess it won't be called Fruit for the Gods for nothing. Here in my province, everyone ignores this fruit. I have never seen one person here eat this. But among Koreans, this fruit is a hit. Hmmm. http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/8210/persimmon.jpg Quote Link to comment

They all have galbi, but not my favored KALBI beef. where can I find this dish in manila, Help!! Quote Link to comment
extrarice3 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 There is this paste that you mix to hot rice that makes the rice red and spicy. Anyone know what its called? It was served to me once in an Korean Air flight. Quote Link to comment

It was served to me once in an Korean Air flight. You might be referring to Gochu Jang. It's the Korean hot pepper paste.

extrarice3 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 You might be referring to Gochu Jang. It's the Korean hot pepper paste. Yup thanks thats it. Can you post a recipe we can try with local ingredients? And the korean beef stew? Quote Link to comment
erato Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yup thanks thats it. Can you post a recipe we can try with local ingredients? And the korean beef stew? Oh, I'm so sorry I have never cooked any Korean dish. But a Korean mom served me liempo Korean style. I don't know exactly how she did it, but there were no fancy ingredients except liempo and the usual stuff for sauteing. The result, liempo 100 times more delicious. Anyway, it really looked like a straight out sauteed dish, so maybe you can just experiment? Good luck and let me know what happens! By the way, I gave manggang hilaw to a Korean kid. He got gochu jjang and ate the mangga with it like we eat manggang hilaw with bagoong. Try it? all this talk is making me want to troupe to maru. the food is great, its just the stainless chopsticks that are a bit annoying... hehehehehehe... Ah, yes, one needs a lot of practice on the stainless chopsticks. The wooden ones are easy, the stainless ones a real challenge! A Korean mom gave me all her kitchen stuff when she left for Korea, so I got all the practice I needed. But now that I haven't held chopsticks for a while, I just might screw up when I eat in a Korean resto again. Quote Link to comment

erato Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Right, that's Kalbi! yum @Knoll1234: If you were served pork, not marinated, sliced into thin strips (almost like liempo), cooked the same was as the picture above, served with rice + lettuce + gochujjang or a paste made of oil and errr..something grainy, that's SAMGYEOPSAL.
