I add it to eggs for a “Mexican” frittata, I add it to chili, salsa chicken, soups, to basically anything with tomatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807353 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 20:33:32 +0000 gotkimchi 2807353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: yum I’m going to try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807352 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 20:29:22 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2807352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: it honestly varies depending on what I have on hand and how much time I have. I typically don’t make authentic Korean food. I never add enough sugar and I always add a million vegetables to all dishes. Also I’m lazy with dishes! So lazy! It’s bad. </p> <p>But this week this is what I’ll do: soak 1/2 package of the rice cakes in lukewarm tap water, sauté 1lb of chopped king oyster mushrooms in 1T butter (my local Asian market sells these for $3/lb) until deeply golden and add a ton of garlic (at this point I remove about 25% to put over plain rice/quinoa for my toddler and baby). </p> <p>Then add 1-2T (to taste) of gochujang to the mushrooms and cook until fragrant. Then add a good amount of water or stock, plus 1/4 cup of soy sauce (more to taste), some sugar if I’m feeling like it. Stir the gochujang so it’s evenly distributed, add drained rice cakes, cover and let it bubble until the rice cakes are soft. Then I’ll add 1lb of enoki mushrooms and stir those in. Garnish with sliced green onions. </p> <p>Some things I vary:<br /> -the stock: if I have time/ingredients I’ll make a quick stock with kombu and dried anchovies. I usually also chop up the kombu and add it to the dish (but a lot of people find kombu kind of irony/minerally and don’t love the flavor).<br /> -sometimes I make a mushroom stock from dried shiitakes, then chop and add those to the dish<br /> -sometimes I add a little kimchi juice<br /> -sometimes I’ll add kale or frozen spinach or whatever random veg I have.<br /> -if I find fishcakes on sale I’ll add that.<br /> -if I happen to have some hard boiled eggs I’ll add that.<br /> -I’ve even added some spam sautéed in soy sauce (I grew up with spam so I love it, but rarely eat it because of the sodium and nitrates).</p> <p>I’m not claiming this is authentic and I’m not Korean, this is just how I like it and for me it’s all about the rice cakes and mushrooms! So idk if a real Korean person would like this method! I’ve never actually made it for a Korean person, I don’t think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807315 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:11:28 +0000 gotkimchi 2807315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: do you have a recipe for your Tteok-bokki?

This night my kids will eat rice bowls with mushrooms. </p> <p>I may sub one night with a veggie chili because it’s supposed to rain most of next week and chili sounds great. I’ll probably just do a lentil chili with frozen corn/peppers, black beans, carrots, and maybe kale and the other half of my Kabocha squash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807265 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 15:27:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2807265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- Meatloaf to be had with a tub of store-bought mashed potatoes and some veggies/salad. I have a zucchini, asparagus, and a bag of salad that has to be used up.</p> <p>- Cooking up a big pan of boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into chunks. I'll use it to make a quick Thai coconut chicken curry (Thai kitchen paste, coconut milk, bag of stirfry veg) over basmati rice and possibly another stirfry during the week with noodles. I have some random bags of Top Ramen for some reason and I figure I can boil up just the noodle part and toss it in with the chicken and veggies.</p> <p>- Cooking a pork roast in the Instant Pot to shred up. Probably for Mexican food - enchiladas or tacos. I have a batch of Spanish rice in the freezer I can nuke and tortillas in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807134 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 10:03:31 +0000 bhbee 2807134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar to what you are planning but I was going to make this before i got the flu and lost all motivation: <a href="http://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/roasted-pork-with-apples-and-potatoes" rel="nofollow">http://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/roasted-pork-with-apples-and-potatoes</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807131 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 09:58:35 +0000 looch 2807131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to do a couple of things this weekend, like bake a banana bread and an applesauce loaf for my son's snacks next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plan-2#post-2807113 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 09:09:49 +0000 gotkimchi 2807113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any meal plans for the week?
