Birthday tip: My birthday is on the exam day??? (No seaweed soup)

Funny tip

We don’t treat seaweed soup for the person who takes an exam on the birthday.

Seaweed is as slippery as eel, which means that we could fail an important exam.

When my birthday fell on my final term exam, I didn’t eat the soup, 

maybe after finishing the exam.




We give a stick of candy called yeot (엿: a kind of very sticky candy) 

or Chapsal-ttok (찹쌀 떡: a kind of rice cake with red bean paste) instead.


                


If your friend has a very important exam to pass, 

please give Yut to him or her.

Please see the famous K-drama for the tip; 
Fight for my way

The main actress (Kim, Jiwon) is going fot an interview to be an announcer, and his boy friend (Park, Seojun) prepared yut (sticky korean traditional candy) as a surprise. (How sweet..💓💖💕😄)

Gimjang Hada (Made kimchi for the winter) 😍

  Gimjang Hada: To Make kimchi Finally I made Kimchi (Gimjang Hada in Korean means   Kimchi-making for the winter  in Korean) for the upcoming winter.  (Hada means do)                                      K imchi is  a staple in  Korean cuisine , is a traditional  side dish  of salted and  fermented  vegetables, such as  napa cabbage  and  Korean radish , made with a widely varying selection of seasonings including  gochugaru  (chili powder),  spring onions ,  garlic ,  ginger , and  jeotgal  (salted seafood), etc.   This is my own way to make kimchi in Canada as shown above. I am able to buy most of the ingredients except a few ones such as;  dried anchovy, dried pollack and dried shrimps which are from Korea.                   ...

Jjapaguri, Jja-jang-myeon, Parasite🥢

Have you tried "Jja-jang-myeon"? Jja-jang-myeon Have you heard "Steak Ramdon (called Jjapaguri)" from the K-movie, "PARASITE"??? (Here in North America, they might heard as black bean paste noodles, but slightly different to express.) It is a very popular Korean menu. In my teenage years, we ate Jjajangmyeon on special days such as graduation days, birthdays etc. I remember that I also had it with my parents after my elementary school graduation ceremony. Due to its popularity, one Korean ramen company created instant jjajangmyeon, named "Jjapagetti".  Later, the menu "Jjapaguri" from Parasite was introduced. (I don't know who originally created this menu.) I also got to know it from the movie. In Korea, another ramen (Neoguri) is also super famous of its chewy noodles.  (as you can see the picture). Jjapaguri= Jjapagetti + Neoguri + Beef stake (Black bean sauce is from Jjapagetti,  not Neoguri) From Parasite According to the direct...

Today Dinner Menu: Jjajangbop (Jjajang rice)

  Today dinner menu: Jjajangbob (Jjajang rice) (Rice in black bean paste sauce with pork and vegetables) 😀Sizzling 👀 As I posted the last time, I cooked Jjajangbop for our dinner. I personally prefer rice instead of noodles. It's your own personal taste.  If you prefer noodles, you can buy noodles in an Asian market, or you can make the noddles with flour. (There are a lot of recipe in Youtube.) Next time, when I make homemade noodles, I will post it. That's black bean paste sauce. Step1: Prepare the ingredients; pork, potatoes, carrots,  cabbages and onions. Instead of pork, you can also use seafood (In Korea, seafood Jjajang is also very popular) or you can use beef. But Jjajangmyeon goes awfully well with pork. Step 2: Chop the veggies as shown in the photo above. Step 3: In a pan, place oil and heat. (In my case, I always use olive oil.) When it is ready, put the vegetables first and stir-fry them . (Medium heat.) Step 4: When the vegetables are half done, mix the p...
