Resep: Sindangdong Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cake) Recipe


When I can't find a proper one, I will make my own at home. A reason why I keep coming back to South Korea, because of Korean Food. I wrote 15 Must Eat Korean Food including specific places, where to get it while in Seoul. Korean cooking that I've been learning for almost 5 years through watching videos, reading, and visiting the country itself. I make my own kimchi because store bought is relatively costed me more, on the other side, I like to make food from scratch. 

Korean restaurants in Jakarta is dominated by Korean BBQ and some places for desserts. They surely have common Korean stew such as sundubu jjigae and doenjang jjigae, but what I really miss from dining experience in Seoul is having a big pot of Sindangdong Tteokbokki. Yes, it is not the same with tteokbokki that generally can be found at street food stalls, Sindangdong style tteokbokki has various veggies, noodles, fishcakes, eggs, and fried dumplings in it. I notice that there are few places here in Jakarta that have budae jjigae which is pretty similar (but usually with ham), also the specialize place for Korean stew. But there's a time when I want to make it at home.


First, the ingredients, you can read more about Korean Grocery Shopping on my previous post, also the recipe to make the basic soup. For Sindangdong Tteokbokki, you'll need:
  • anchovy soup, see my previous post for the recipe
  • rice cake (it can be found in Korean Grocery Stores)
  • cabbage
  • green onions
  • carrot
  • fish cakes
  • hard boiled egg
  • beef sausage or spam
  • fried dumpling
  • shredded mozzarella (optional)
  • ramyeon noodle
the sauce:
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) or to taste
  • 2 tbsp ganjang (Korean soy sauce)
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
Directions:
Place all the ingredients in a wide shallow pan, put the sauce on top. Pour the soup as needed, cook on medium high. 

Just like in Korea (see: How To Eat in Korea?), you can finish it with fried rice by adding some rice, seaweed (gim), sesame oil, and egg. 

You can adjust the amount of every ingredients. This dish is perfect for gathering, to share with family and friends. How to do it: use a portable stove on a table, get all the ingredients ready, and don't forget to provide individual plate.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
