Don't know how to store Kimchi that you just made?
Save those pickle jars like the one I found on eBay! The bigger the better! Those are the perfect types of jars to store kimchi. We usually use the gallon ones but feel free to use smaller ones if you make smaller amount.
On sale on Ebay:
Plastic containers like the following are good too, but just know that you should use those containers only for storing kimchi since it will leave some smell and reddish color even after you wash it (unless you let it out in the sun to dry).

Did you know that Koreans prefer Non-marinated BBQ over Marinated? (and seems to be vice versa for non-Koreans)
Koreans like non-marinated ones better usually because you need to bbq with better quality meat for those kinds, even restaurants...so usually non-marinated beef are more expensive than anything else! Exception will be pork since pork...is cheaper...
Marinated ones may have more strong (and sweet)flavor, but they can go by without using good quality meat. Marinated BBQ include Jaeyookbokkeum (spicy pork), Galbi/Kalbi (marinated ribs), Bulgogi...etc. Continue Reading

Popeye eats spinach straight out of can. I prefer fresh ones...heh heh...or just cooked fresh...you know what I mean.
Once a friend told me she ate a very healthy meal...spinach salad. Yes that's good but let me show you an alternative way...Asian way...of eating spinach, as a Banchan/Sidedish with rice. I think that's little more filling than just a salad heh heh.
Just slightly cook and mix with sesame oil and salt and you are done!
Okay..okay...I'll be little more specific...scroll down!

One of 'single' easy meal (but can't say it's healthy) is ramyun.
So many kinds to choose from and all different variations to cook it too. What's your favorite?
These days you can basically find ramyun everywhere...grocery store...convenient stores...wow...
Not all ramyuns/ramen are spicy so you get to choose from non-spicy, mild, and very spicy!
When you want something really spicy Shin Ramyun is the way to go, but I personally think Shin Ramyun is TOO spicy. But many Koreans like Shin Ramyun.

If you live in MD, remember couple days ago? Our neighborhood had terrible Wind storm?!
While I was sleeping I could hear the thunder and the wind clashing on our house...(our house is on the top of the hill too..) I thought our roof was going to crumble down or something since I heard this large THUD! But I was still alive so I went back to sleep.
In the morning...my mom, Young, woke and and as always opened the back door to the deck for Nine for his um 'morning ritual'...and realized the back yard somehow 'looked' wider and brighter than usual...Hmmmm

A bowl of steaming hot soup during cold winter, especially this year, sounds so good! I LOVE soup just for the taste, but it happens to have some health benefits too!
Soybean sprouts are known to have 'isoflavone' which is beneficial for women near menopause. Also it's known within Koreans to help hangovers after heavy drinking by breaking down alcohol. So maybe next time you wanna try the Korean way to ease your hangover LOL.
Many Koreans are known to be heavy drinkers (not including me LOL) and they eat many different kinds of soup to relieve hangovers. Some spicy and some clear soup like what I am going to share today. This clear sprouts soup that I'm going to share is one of the popular ones.
However, you don't have to be a heavy drinker to enjoy this soup. I love to eat rice and this soup with Kimchi. Simple but tasty meal and healthy too!
Let's Start!

For my mom's (Young) birthday I treated my parents to some Japanese. I like Sushi King Japanese Restaurant in Columbia, MD. Although it's not owned by Japanese...'there aren't that many Japanese owned restaurants here...' their sashimi (raw fish) are thick and fresh enough for me. Love it!
