We had a very, very cold day today, heavy rain for all day.
We are so spoiled with beautiful weather for all seasons of the year in L.A.
I love to see the rain, but I am not so good with the cold weather.
So I cooked "kimuchi Pot" tonight.
This is a Korean dish which Japanese people love to eat in winter time in Japan.
This pot make our body and stomach so warm and happy.
My boys who came from China and Turkey got enjoyment with this "spicy hot pot", even they ate this pot for the first time.
Kimuthi Pot: 7oz pork loin (thin slices), 5oz kimuchi, 1/4 nappa (cut coarsely), 1/5 daikon(half moon), 1 tofu (cut in 8 pieces), 4 pc mushrooms, 1bunch green onion (cut into 2 inch), 2Tbsp sesame oil, 4 cup water, 2 Tbsp dashi powder, 1 Tbsp chicken powder, 2 Tbsp kotyujyan (hot pepper paste), 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp cooking sake, 1~2 Tbsp sugar (mirin), 1 Tbsp grated ginger, 2 Tbsp garlic (fine chopping), 1 Tbsp sesame seeds.
Direction: Earthnware pot (medium) + sesame oil + pork ~ stir fry ~ add the kimuchi ~ stir fry ~ add the water ~ boil ~ add all the vegetables (except green onion) and tofu ~ add the kotyujan and all the seasonings ~ simmer ~ add the green onion and sesame seeds ~ done!
* You can find kotyujan at Asian market.
This pot is the best dish for cold, windy day in winter.
Enjoy !
