hedonism, i tried ur clam linguini recipe, it was very simple and equally tasty.
here is a simple staple of korean cooking. its called 'bulgogi' a frequent translation being bbq meat.
ingredients:
2 lb chicken thighs or breasts, or thin sliced beef (ribeye or other tender cut best)
1 onion
1 bunch green onion
1 bulb garlic
2 tpsp ginger (fresh grated or fine chop)
2 cups soy sauce
3 tblsp sesame oil
1/2 cup honey (or sugar if u dont have)
the marinade:
fine chop onion, rough chop green onion (finer towards root), grate/chop ginger, smash garlic (i just flatten w/ knife and then fine chop)
mix in 2 cups of soy sauce, 3 tblsp sesame oil, 1/2 cup honey, 1 tsp black pepper
throw this on top of meat in a dish or ziplock, and marinade 12+ hours (ideally 24)
there are two options to cook, grill/fry or braise.
if grill/frying just cook at a normal temperature and time and ur done. garnish with finely chopped green onion
i prefer braising cos the soup is really good with the meat.
to braise, add marinade mix to a pot, fill with enough water to about enough to cover the meat, dont use too much.
bring to boil then lower heat and let simmer for at least an hour (4+ hours would be better)
reseason to taste w/ soy sauce/salt for salinity, honey for sweetness, and serve garnished with finely chopped green onion.
thats the traditional recipe but u can experiment with different herbs, spices, acids, alcohol.
hmm i didnt know you can use chicken with this
ive only ever had it with beef lol
