Korean Style Salad -Spicy Salad (야채 겉절이)

Recently, I planted some vegetables on my lanai.
I decided to eat super fresh vegetables after I've watched Food Matters.

However, how I can make yummy salad out of 
cilantro + lettuce + green onion + basil + arugula mixture?(all really small portion)
I thought a lot since I'm not a big fan of cilantro.

The answer was make it spicy so that it can mediate the strong cilantro smell.
Oh...it was really good.
You can try this dressing on any kind of salad.
Baby vegetables, baby sprouts, cucumbers are recommended.

Ingredients>
Soy sauce(shoyu)-4T
vinegar-2T
sesame oil-1T
roasted sesame seed-1.5T
agave syrup(alternative sugar)-1T
red pepper powder - 1.5T~2T


This kind of salad is great with meat.
Please try this when you have a BBQ party.
You will wow for this.
It is simple but very refreshing.

I'd like to have a garden which is five times bigger than this.
This weekend will be all about planting~


So great too have these fresh vegetables everyday.
I will buy my favorite grape tomato and plant the seed on the soil.
Wish me a good luck :)

Authentic Korean Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken: Dakgangjeong (Korean Recipe)

Aloha! 🌺 It’s Jihye in Seoul. Today, I’m thrilled to share a recipe for a dish that holds a very special place in Korean food culture: Korean Fried Chicken . KFC? Please go home! (No offense, but when it comes to fried chicken, Korea is on a whole other level.) From spicy to soy-garlic, oven-baked to green onion-topped, we have an endless variety. But today, I’m introducing one of the absolute absolute best: Dakgangjeong (닭강정) . What is Dakgangjeong? Dakgangjeong is a bite-sized, boneless fried chicken that is double-fried for maximum crunch and tossed in a sticky, sweet, and spicy glaze. It's usually topped with crushed nuts or sesame seeds, and I love adding chewy Korean rice cakes ( Tteok ) to the mix for a fun texture! 🛒 Ingredients For the Chicken: 2 pieces of Chicken Breast (Pro tip: Chicken thighs taste much better for this!) Marinade: 2 Tbsp Sake, 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce, 1/2 Tbsp Ginger Powder, a pinch of black pepper Batter: 1/2 cup (or more)...
