Korean Food-Japchae

Today, I would like to introduce Japchae. Japchae is one of the most popular menu items on Korean table. This is also my favorite food as well. Japchae is stir-fried glass noodle and vegetable. It is a little bit hard to make this food. Japchae is made frome sweet potato noodles, and needs to fry each material. So, it takes a lot of time to prepare for this yummy food. Japchae is a really popular and delicious vegetable side dish. This is also served with rice. It is tasty and nutritious. Nowadays, we can easily find Japchae in many Korean restaurants. This is becoming distinctive Korean food. It has lots of vegetables, vitamin C, mineral and etc that are good for our health. I am really happy that I can introduce many Korean foods. Eating healthy food is really important. I hope everyone can enjoy many healthy, tasty and nutritious Korean foods. Thank you.

Braised Pork Belly( Dong Po Rou)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) is a traditional dish of braised pork belly, supposedly created by Su Dong Po (January 8, 1037 – August 24, 1101), a famous writer, poet, painter, calligrapher, pharmacologist, gastronome, and statesman of the Song dynasty. Over the centuries, this dish has become very popular, and once you taste it, you’ll know why.

Ingredients
2 lb slab of pork belly
3 bunches scallions, washed and cut in half lengthwise
8 slices ginger
2 cups Shaoxing wine
2/3 cup light soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 - 5 oz. rock sugar, depending on desired level of sweetness

Instruction
Wash the pork belly as a whole piece. Blanch it whole in boiling water for one minute and drain. This process gets rid of any impurities and also allows you to more easily cut the pork belly into same-size pieces. Cut the pork into 3 x 3 inch pieces. You can also make them 2 x 2 inches if you like them smaller. Set aside.
In a medium clay pot (preferably) or a medium (4-quart) regular pot, lay the scallions on the bottom in a thick, even layer. The scallions should cover the entire bottom of the pot. Space the ginger slices evenly over the scallions.
Next lay the pork belly skin-side down on top of the ginger and scallions. Pour over the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Add the rock sugar to the pot as well.
Now cover the pot and place it over medium high heat. Once the liquid in the pot comes to a boil, immediately turn down the heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes. No need to stir.
After 90 minutes, you have 2 choices:
1. Turn the pork belly skin-side up in the pot, cover, and let simmer for another 90 minutes. With the heat at the lowest setting, there should be plenty of liquid in the pot to cook the pork through the entire process––no need to add additional liquid.
2. Transfer the pork to a heat-proof plate, skin-side up (I used the small clay pots you see in the photos). Drizzle with some of the braising liquid, and place in a steamer for another 90 minutes.
Both methods should yield tender, delicious results! When serving, transfer the pork pieces to a plate. At this point, you can heat the braising liquid in a saucepan to reduce the sauce and drizzle it over the pork.

Today I am going to post a different delicious food, an Indian shallow fried stuffed bread which has been served as food for generations and generally eaten as breakfast. Its aaloo paratha, where aaloo means potato and paratha means bread.
Ingredients:
1+1/2 cup wheat flour
2 medium potatoes boiled and peeled
4 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
2 green chili
1 tbsp red chili powder
Salt according to taste
2 tbsp oil

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldxNZZYKcZs48Uw4i5m57-2VUyzt9xwTQUwfBL7YztONKiQRrVkuuc6AE2DNM7lABhhdMGOWAl3kJlCDByUmMMLieJbaid5aB18SxBMaVrGq7EfJTtnVWdOfSdiCrxvic3ntvuQ-6y4zY/s1600/Aloo+Paratha+step+by+step+method-001.jpg
These are the ingredients which will make about 6 paratha. First preparing the dough by adding 1 cup of wheat flour 1 tbsp of oil and salt in a small bowl and with slow addition of water we will make soft dough. We will leave this dough by covering it with a soft muslin cloth to avoid it from drying.
Then for stuffing, we will put the boiled potato in a bowl and add chili, coriander, salt, red chili powder and mix them properly.
Now we will divide the dough and the stuffings separately into 6 equal parts. Initially, lets take one dough pattie and coat it with the dry flour and putting it on the rolling board, roll it into small circle. Then place one portion of stuffing in the middle and try to wrap it and seal it and make a round and again circle it on the board until it becomes a round bread. Finally, we will place the bread on hot pan with medium flame till small bubbles arise after which we have to flip the bread. Adding small amount of oil, the process is to be repeated till both the sides are brown and crispy. Transfer it to a plate and spread it. Serve it with pickle or tomato sauce

Stuffed Green Chilly

In this part we are presenting you one of the spicy and mouth-watering dish which nobody can deny if they are fond of spices. Stuffed green chilly is common in most part of India and Nepal. In Nepal, this food is more preffered by young generation. However, this food is mostly prepared as snacks and served as entre.

This food is much tastier during chilly weather like winter or rainy season.

The more it looks tastier, the more it is easy to prepare. This can be made with the items available at home. For stuffing we simply need potato, green peas, coriander, spices (salt, pepper, chilly powder, cumin powder, oil) and for external coating we need a barter of besan, which is chick pea powder to be mixed with spices written earlier, and of course fresh chilly. After all items are set, all we need is to deeply fry them in oil and serve with sauce or chutney.

Enjoy eating…

The golden gooey syrup adds a sweet flavor and an aromatic ginger fragrance to the super-delicious sweet soup.
