Bibim-Soba

Image
You've seen them on my Instagram , served with steaks from filet magnon to NY strip. Rather than scalloped potatoes and green bean casserole , I typically favor bibim-soba as a side dish to serve with steaks especially on weekdays when cooking dinner is rushed. It is quite divine when a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak without seasoning, seared in butter, and then tossed in a preheated oven is served with bibim-soba.  This pairing of steaks and bibim-soba was inspired by my love for galbi (beef ribs) and naengmyeon (cold buckwheat with sweet potato starch noodles). While this highly beloved combination is typically served separately, galbi first and then followed by naengmyeon, I usually ask to be served at the same time since I savor them together in one mouthful. While soba is a Japanese noodle made with buckwheat flour, I have discovered that they are delicious as bibim-guksu. By the way, bibim means mixed and guksu is noodles in Korean.  Instead of using various seasoning in

French Miso Lamb

Image
If you have been following me on Instagram , then you would've noticed that I started experimenting and sharing recipes that are Italian based such as risotto and strozzapreti with Korean ingredients such as kimchi and soondae while combining Korean comfort food such as the Korean Oxtail Soup in recent months for Oxtail Risotto and Soondae et Kimchi Strozzapreti . Having grown up with Korean food, I consider many of its dishes as comfort food. Combining Korean ingredients with Italian cooking to express my love for Italian food was inevitable.   As much as I enjoy Italian food, I love lamb and have kept the recipe somewhat simple as done with Herbed Lamb Double Rib Chops . So when I saw  Mingoo Kang's Doenjang BBQ Lamb recipe in Jang , it intrigued me since lamb is not a common ingredient in Korean cooking. Like Chef Kang, I wasn't exposed to lamb until I was an adult. His recipe using doenjang, fermented soybean and salt, inspired me to create a recipe using red miso . S

Math + Social Equality ≠ No Access

Last week was somewhat anxiety-ridden while also being awakened...  I have been teaching myself not to obsess about something that may or may not happen. Until something bad happens, nothing bad has happened. While I have been reinforcing the lesson this past week, my agenda book was ignored and neglected. Spicy Italian Sausage & Basil Rigatoni and salad had been pushed around the agenda book for a few days and replaced with take-outs and hot dogs until I saw that the basil was withering.  In the past, I would've been guilt-ridden and panicking for not following the agenda book, but this "be kind to myself" mindset is working. I'm learning to be flexible with myself on matters that don't matter much, and be okay with being lazy on certain days.  While going off the agenda book, I have been keeping certain routines that have helped me stabilize. One of them is my morning routine... Brewing French-pressed coffee, four sun salutations, and sipping and reading th

Should Los Angeles remain a sanctuary city?

Image
I was coming out of a lovely restaurant in Downtown L.A., Le Petit Paris. My Uber ride was waiting for me across the street... Annoyed that he had parked on the wrong side of a one-way street. And then, there was a homeless man shouting at the car. The driver didn't budge, the car remained in its spot. Did the driver not realize that I would have to be right next to the screaming and clearly emotionally unstable person to get in the car?  As soon as I closed the door, the driver apologized. He wasn't sure if he should even be driving. Right after he had finished his last ride in Old Town Pasadena, a homeless person threw an object at the car and damaged it. He was upset and emotionally shaken. A couple of weeks before, someone threw a brick or something like that at his parked car and broke a window. For a person who drives full-time for ride-share, you can imagine the financial hardship they face when their cars get damaged.  Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash As an Angeleno,

Donald And His 74 Million American Voters

Image
As former President Donald Trump was charged with his fourth criminal case over a four-and-a-half-month span, I thought of 74 million Americans who voted for him in the 2020 Presidential Election. Despite facing a total of 91 felony charges, his supporters haven't been hindered. The first debate among Republican candidates sans former President Trump demonstrated his stronghold. Folks in the audience booed at any direct or implied anti-Trump.  Photo by Jose M on Unsplash The constitutional qualifications for being a U.S. president are being a natural-born U.S. citizen, a resident for at least 14 years and at least 35 in age. A criminal conviction does not affect eligibility although the person can be disqualified by conviction in a Senate impeachment trial. So, we know that the former president will continue to campaign for the next presidential election. The prospect of having the former president becoming the 47th President of the United States while in prison is frightening as
