Chicken, Noodles and Veggie Bento 3
I wish, I wish, that I had loved them when I was a kid. All those wasted meals, staring at a plate of glorious carrots, string beans, or bell peppers. Wishing that we had a family dog that would “clear my plate.”

What a treat for Saba Man…I’ve been bombarding him with pork ever since our #twitterfoodparty on Monday. The package of lup cheong lasted longer than expected.

It’s crunchy-on-the-outside then soft-on-the-inside sensation is tantalizing and I can’t stop eating it.

It’s no secret amongst my family and friends that Korean food is my favorite. It’s the cuisine I crave and it’s my first childhood food memory. My recent switch to vegetarianism has not curbed my appetite for the spicy garlic flavors… the change is that I can no longer pop into a Korean restaurant and order everything off the menu. I must now make my own recipes without meat, using tofu or meat substitutes. One of the easiest recipes to convert is chapchae or japchae-Korean glass noodles (dangmyeon) with beef and vegetables. It’s versatile and easy dish to prepare and it that can be eaten as a hot main dish or a room temperature “salad”. Read the rest of this entry →
