Even when planning a simple meal, so much preparation goes into it. Chopping green onions, washing the vegetables for our wraps....... cleaning and chopping mushrooms for a simple stir fry...
The green onions were chopped and mixed in the mayo with crab meat, as toppings on fresh thickly cut cucumber slices! Simple appetizers.
And washing and cleaning huge razor clams!
One was roasted in the mini oven with cheese, one just in its juice. But a bit over cooked... More experience needed.
While adding kimchi, onions, garlic cloves to the stew, I wanted to try adding something creative and added....
Guess what those chunks are... sweet potatoes! My mom later tasted the soup and was like, why does this stew taste SWEET? Oops mom...it was just an experiment. You know, kimchi and sweet potatoes go so well together, like in kimchi sweet potato donkatsu (pork cutlet), you put them in together in 닭갈비 (spicy chicken..stir fry??), um........ yeah.
The wine which accompanied our meal, decanted. The second label from Chateau Chasse-Spleen, a wine that was described as Pegasus?? in the famous Japan wine cartoon, The Drops of God. The title sounds super cheesy, but it is super famous in Korean and Japan. It is rumored that once a wine appears in the cartoon, the prices skyrocket, its that influential.
I was not too serious to take tasting notes, will do them next time.
Dessert Truffles! Decadent end to our meal.
Sounds delicious! Want to teach me how to make the stew? :)
