cookbook
Japchae (잡채)
Gochugaru Girl has been consulting a treasured book on noodles.
This book* has been sitting on my shelf for 15 years, and re-reading it shows how much London, and I, have changed.
Fried Rice Cakes (떡볶음)
Gochugaru Girl has tried her first recipe from the Bibigo Cookbook.
I have eaten this countless times at the restaurant and was keen to make it at home. There is something quite satisfying about the chewy texture of the rice sticks.
Healthy & Fresh Korean Kitchen – The Bibigo Cookbook
Gochugaru Girl loves Bibigo London. She loves it so much she even went to look for Bibigo in Seoul on her recent trip there. Now she has discovered their cookbook*.
It wasn’t exactly an auspicious start as I really did not want to try Korean food.
Yan-Kit So’s Salt-cured Duck Eggs
Gochugaru Girl had to break into her existing cache of salted duck eggs, which did not make it to the required 30-day incubation period.
The reason I did this was because one week ago my father thought he was about to die.
Tonkatsu and ‘Bull-Dog’ Sauce
Gochugaru Girl is in possession of a much loved recipe book which she still uses after 25 years.
Madhur Jaffrey’s Far Eastern Cookery* was a godsend in the early days of my culinary explorations. In particular, I had to rely on it to make my own ‘Bull-Dog Sauce’.
