Of course living in a different country results in learning/cooking up different recipes! We have come a long way since our first few weeks here, when the only thing that looked familiar at the grocery store was a bag of hotdogs (we had been told how great the dog is here :) Now, we can walk into the grocery store and not feel overwhelmed...usually!
I am going to try and post a new recipe at least once a month that I have discovered here in Korea. Boy, do we miss American food, but it helps finding yummy new recipes!
Sushi Rice
3 cups of cooked rice cooled
1/3 cup rice vinegar3 TBS sugar
1 tsp. salt
-Heat vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat in sauce pan until sugar is dissolved. Let cool.
-Add mixture to cooked rice, folding over and fanning. *Make sure to use a wooden spoon. Metalic will react with the vinegar mixture
-Place a sheet of seaweed on a sushi rolling mat, evenly spread rice, and place your choice of filling in the center of the seaweed square and rice. Gently roll the seaweed into a long cylinder.With a VERY sharp knife cut the sushi roll, into even, bite size pieces. Enjoy!
Cook up with some dumplings and you got yourself a great meal. So far we have made Gimbap (Korean sushi with egg, ham, crab, radish, and our own special sauce) and Tuna Gimbap (sushi with tuna and radish inside)...Delicious!
