Notes about Recipes in this book

• Grilled beef [Pulgogi] sauce

    My favorite bulgogi sauce without adding asian pears or onion puree. It's really balanced.

• Potatoes boiled in sauce (Kamja chorim)

  • TrishaCP on June 21, 2013

    The soy-sauce and pepper based sauce was tasty, but I found that the method of cooking the potatoes solely in the sauce dried them out a bit- the potatoes had quite a floury flavor to them. Not a bad side dish, but definitely not as tasty as I've had in Korean restaurants.

• Scalded spinach (Shigŭmch'i namul) 1

  • TrishaCP on June 21, 2013

    I would say this is the worst recipe name in the history of recipes, but there are actually less appealing ones from this same book. (Involving meat....shudder...) In this case, there's a mis-translation, rather than scalded the spinach is actually blanched before being added to a spicy, vinegar sauce. Quite delicious, but I think that you should cook the spinach per your own personal preference and then add the sauce- "scalding" not necessary! The spinach was overcooked per the recipe instructions-at least, to my taste.
