Song: Un Homme Et Une Femme

I included a very quick and easy recipe my younger sister, Mary, had sent me.
Although I altered it to fit my taste...
it is a tasty stew as is.
Once the food starts cooking...
it is about a 10 minute meal from that point.
I am almost down my mountain...
and on my way to Woodland Park...
to my normal food shopping place...
Safeway
(I bulk buy at Walmart or Costco)
I arrived in the parking lot...
...and headed inside to pick up the ingredients necessary to make Kimchi Stew.
It was but a short shopping spree...
and here I am headed home from Woodland Park.
My younger sister's recipe
-----------
I altered it to fit my taste.
I doubled the Korean chili powder... as I love the flavor.
I doubled the amount of tofu and green onions...as I like tofu and green onions.
I added 50% more beef stock and Hondashi...to give it more flavor.
And I only added about 30% of the garlic powder...
as I only like a light garlic presence.
Every so often...
I pick up smoked black pepper salmon to eat as part of a meal.
It went very well with the kimchi stew.
Although I made a bit of a mess...
I always clean everything after eating.
The extra tofu gives this stew more body.
I love this stew.
It is very flavorful and it is perfect for cold days...
especially if you have a cold.
This is a very quick dish to make...
and especially if you tailor fit it to your personal taste...
it will be far better than in any restaurant.
Bandi loved the smoked salmon.
Even though I fed her a basic healthful meal just before cooking...
she knows she will get some of my food as well...
so she hangs around the kitchen while I cook...
and especially where I am eating.
But, I don't mind...
as not only do I welcome her company...
she is just so cute in her mannerisms.
She lightly touches me with her paw to get my attention...
but she rarely insists on anything.
Bandi usually only politely gets my attention...
and then just looks at me with her puppy dog eyes.
My favorite drink...
ice water.
As I have said before...
especially as I eat...
my body just seems to generate so much heat...
and so...
drinking ice water feels so good going down.
It keeps me from over heating...
and it is...
by far...
one of the most healthful drinks you can drink.
Not only do you not add any calories...
it is actually a negative calorie drink...
as the body must burn calories to warm it up in your stomach.
I like kimchi but can only eat a little bit of spicy food at a time. For me, I might have this as a nice side dish (or to go with something like the salmon as you did). I like the idea of adding extra tofu.
ReplyDeleteThe extra tofu really made a big difference. In comparison to restaurants...my version is mild.
ReplyDeleteI love the view from the kitchen. No matter how long it takes to make a dish, if you are playing music, giving goodies to the dog, enjoying the view …. Then the patience it takes to take pics and post …. It’s all pleasire
ReplyDeleteEverything about living here is pure pleasure. I just finished another large bowl of this stew. I really like my alterations, as it is fairly mild in taste, and yet, has a punch and a certain heartiness due to the extra chili powder and tofu. I am going to make this again in the future. It really is a very good stew.
