I have everything but kimchi which we need to stop at the asian mart any way. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-meal-plan-for-the-week-1#post-835194 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:24:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 835194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: this is what I do... taste as you go along to tweak how you like it! My MIL's secret ingredient is the fish oil - I don't see that in a lot of recipes online but she uses a TB of it in every korean soup dish she makes, but you don't have to if you don't have it on hand. If you don't have pork belly or don't like pork, you can use a can of tuna instead - I actually really like it with tuna!</p> <p>Ingredients:<br /> - 3 cups really fermented kimchi, cut 2 inches long<br /> - 1 TB sesame oil<br /> - 1 TB minced garlic<br /> - 1 TB fish oil (optional)<br /> - 1 small onion, sliced<br /> - cut up pork belly (or a can of tuna)<br /> - 1/2 package firm tofu<br /> - water<br /> - 3-4 TB kimchi juice</p> <p>Directions:<br /> Heat a pot with sesame oil and add garlic. Then add the pork belly and kimchi and stirfry until kimchi turns translucent (about 6-7 min). Add enough water to cover everything. Add in reserved kimchi juice, and fish oil. Add tofu and onions. Simmer on medium low for at least 30 min. The longer the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-meal-plan-for-the-week-1#post-834688 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 06:56:36 +0000 regberadaisy 834688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: do you have a recipe for kimchi chigae? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-meal-plan-for-the-week-1#post-827983 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:31:12 +0000 immabeetoo 827983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I've been doing 1 meal (out of 4 cooked) without meat and it's taken a few months to get DH to stop whining.

I've never tried it before and it turns out DH didn't start it soon enough to cook in the crock pot, so I guess he's going to try to BBQ the peppers. It's WAY too hot to turn on the oven.
