OOOOO mama we had a feast! This is how it all started. I offered to make Lauren a smokin' Korean dinner during the middle of the fall semester and she took me up on it. I think she doubted my abilities in the kitchen, but as you should be able to see from the pictures below, those doubts were put to rest! We had such a fun time together preparing this meal and it was a fun blast from the past of my days serving in Seoul, South Korea.
We had a dish called 삼겹살 Sahm-Gyup-Sahl with 뗙볶이 Duck-Boke-gi. The sahm gyup sahl is really just thick slices of bacon with a more porkish taste that you wrap up in romaine lettuce, rice, kimchi, peppers, cucumber, bean paste, sea weed or any combination of those things. I was a little worried that Lauren might not like it, but boy oh boy it was a hit! We ate until our little bellies stretched into big bellies and capped it all off with a bonafide Asian Pear. And I'm not talking about those wimpy pears you find in the orchards in Medford, Oregon, I'm talking about an Asian Pear the size of a grapefruit! It was awesome. In true Korean fashion we feasted.
