Korean Grocery Store Directory

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Sue • 0 Comments

Korean Grocery Shopping DirectoryJust a small announcement that I made a Korean grocery store directory for Brisbane residents. This directory will expand as I gather more information. I am particularly trying to focus on building a Korean grocery shopping directory for Australia. (Blessed those of you who live in Australia. :) )

For the directory, please follow the link – http://mykoreankitchen.com/korean-stores/australia/brisbane/

If you would like me to also cover your favourite Korean store in your city and country, please send me the store name, address and phone number details to sue at mykoreankitchen.com or simply leave a comment below this post. Please ensure your provided information is current and accurate. Enjoy your cooking today!

Bibimbap (served with marinated beef and vegetables)

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Sue • 0 Comments

Bibimbap (with marinated beef and various veggies)

(Toppings – anti clock wise: Marinated beef, fried swiss and enoki mushroom, seasoned baby spinach, fried carrots, seasoned bean sprouts, pickled white radish, fresh cucumber, fried Kimchi, in the centre, sunny side up egg and mixed gochujang sauce, garnished with a sprinkle of “perilla oil” and sesame seeds)

I made bibimbap for dinner! Those toppings I mentioned above are quite a mouthful, aren’t they? ;) I had so many fresh vegetables about to go not so fresh, so I wanted to wrap up the ingredients fast before I had to donate them to my hubby’s worm farm.

I didn’t mean to prepare a recipe post for this blog at that time, so I didn’t take any photos during the process nor kept the record of how much of each ingredients I was using.

I just wanted to share that it was very flavourful and delicious with a little spicy kick at the end. I hope to post the recipe soon. (I have about 40 odd recipes to prepare on my do-list at present. I will just take a deep breath and get on with it. :) )

My Korean Kitchen on ABC Radio for Lunar New Year’s Day 2013

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Sue • 2 Comments

On Air

A couple of weeks ago, Jen from Jenius (a Sydney based food blogger) contacted me and asked whether I was interested in sharing about Korean Lunar New Year’s Day culture on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) radio. I was very shocked at first. It was only a few days after I came back to blogging from my hiatus so I didn’t expect any spotlight upon my come back.

Regardless, I was very hesitant to say yes because I knew that I am not the best person to represent Korean culture in Brisbane or in Australia and also expressing my ideas in writing is much easier than speaking on the radio!

Luckily it wasn’t a live program and it was a casual phone interview, except that I didn’t have much time to prepare for the interview. I particularly had some difficulty explaining Yutnori (윷노리) as I wasn’t prepared at all for this and I hope you don’t laugh at me. :)

So, if you would like to hear my “Kimchi flavoured” Konglish voice, you can listen via Youtube below. I only selected the part I was involved in (7 mins long!). Now I am *blushing*.

Listen to the full program from http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2013/02/07/3685130.htm
