Fast & Easy Dinner: Skewered Beef
Get your grill on this weekend with Korean-style beef skewers. This recipe flash marinades strips of tender meat in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. Don't despair vegetarians: this blend would be great for tofu; simply slide the tofu on in place of the beef.
Would You Eat This Mushroom Chocolate?
A friend recently returned from South Korea bearing gifts. One of them was a bar of North Korean chocolate candy she'd picked up from the country's demilitarized border. In the manner of a Nestle Crunch bar, it was crispy and crumbly, with little taste of mushrooms at first.
Would You Eat Dogmeat?
I'm a huge pet lover and even though I'll eat just about anything, I'm pretty positive I couldn't knowingly order up dog. However if the Seoul city government has its way, dogmeat could be reclassified as livestock and will legally appear on menus in South Korea. Right now it appears illegally and there are no hygiene regulations regarding slaughter.
Would You Drink This Aloe Juice?
Last week I saw a can of juice I'd never seen before: pomegranate-flavored aloe juice from Korean company J1. The color was a vivid orange-pink, and although it looked like one solid color, there were actually bits of floating chunks in it. The almost-invisible chunks are the aloe, and they have the consistency of somewhat thick Jello.
Name That Dish!
Yesterday's definition of kimchi reminded me of one of my favorite Korean dishes, pictured below. A popular beef dish, this consists of tender strips of beef that are typically marinated and grilled. Do you know what it's called?
Definition: Kimchi
Kimchi
A traditional Korean dish made of fermented, seasoned vegetables — such as cabbage and radishes — that are pickled and stored tightly in pots or jars. It is spicy-hot and is served as a condiment with almost every Korean meal.
Also written as kimchee.
Bounce With Me, Bounce With Me...
Just when you think this is a professional baseball game, it turns into a one-footed bounce off. Someone please explain what's going on here...

Hard-Core Crazy Boy Band Sh*t
I have no idea what they're saying, so I haven't a clue what kind of song would warrant the use of polka-dot bow ties, furry hand puppets, animal ear headbands, and excessive ear bling. My hunch is that they want on that new Search For The Next (Pussycat) Doll show and this is their sad excuse for an audition tape. Sorry boys, but you need to be a little more masculine to keep up with those tough divas.
Korean Girls Get Krunk
I have no idea what these girls are up to, or why they even have an audience. It's like a train wreck, though; I'm compelled to look and watch out of morbid curiosity. That's right, they're not just tone deaf, they're tone dead...which explains why those dance moves are out of this world.
Martial Arts Explained
I am always looking for a new way to exercise and keep myself healthy. I've always thought about trying martial arts, partly to learn self-defense skills, but more for the mind and body strengthening aspect.
There are many styles including Stand-Up, Ground Fighting, Throwing, and Meditative.
