  • Bulgogi with Cucumber Kimchi

    Bulgogi with KimchiBulgogi with Cucumber Kimchi
    We had a surplus of cucumbers in the fridge from our last two veggie boxes, so I decided that some sort of pickles were in order. Once I settled on making cucumber kimchi, bulgogi suggested itself as a natural accompaniment. (Plus it’s my favorite Korean dish ever.) I cut up and salted the cucumbers on Sunday and left them overnight. Monday morning I added the rest of the ingredients. (Note: I didn’t have any Korean chili powder on hand, so I just used what I had. It tasted fine but it didn’t have that bright red colour.) I covered the bowl with cling film and left it on the counter for 24 hours. Monday night I sliced up a rump steak (which I’d frozen first to make it easier to slice thinly) and then put in the rest of the marinade ingredients. (I was out of sesame seeds so I left them out, but it’s better with them.) Tuesday night I fried up the beef really quickly and served it over rice with the kimchi on the side. It was really good!

    Should’ve gone for that run after all. Stress is making my shoulder creep up towards my ears.


    I turned down pub lunch because of a meeting… which later got cancelled because people were at the pub lunch. FML.


    @redambition But that would destroy my sense of self-righteousness! 😛


    Just remembered I have homemade bulgogi and kimchi marinating in the fridge at home. KOREAN FEAST AHOY.

    Just completed a 6.16 km run with RunKeeper – 1st half was carrying heavy backpack, so much slower. At least it’s not raining!

    The things we do for love.


    @carbolicious Ha! Doesn’t even frost here. I’m even weaker.


    Totally chickened out on running in the rain this morning. Hopefully it’ll stop by lunchtime?

    Spring Cleaning
    On our weekend the Snook and I…

    • Did about 10 loads of laundry, including the special stuff like woollens and delicates.
    • Bleached the hallway ceiling where the old dryer had made it moldy.
    • Reorganised and cleaned the utility closet.
    • Reorganised and cleaned the kitchen cupboards, including under the sink. (PUKE!)
    • Cleaned out the fridge and pantry.
    • Took out several loads of rubbish and recycling.
    • Polished the induction cooktop.
    • Filled two new kegs of homebrew.

    I love productive weekends.
