Bibimbap is probably one of the most well-known and beloved Korean dishes
to many people. Even if people dont know anything about Korea, its not too
difficult to find people who had Bibimbap sometime in their lives. Bibimbap
simply translates to mixed rice with meat and assorted vegetables. You can
make endless variations to this dish depending on your preference and
dietary requirements (e.g. Saessak:(micro leaves) Bibimbap and various
Bibimbap toppings) and also based on the dish/bowl it is served in (e.g.
Dolsot:(hot stone bowl) Bibimbap and Yangpun Bibimbap). More traditional
and authentic versions of Bibimbap are served with raw beef and raw egg
yolk along with other vegetables.
Ingredients:
Bibimbap!)
100g shiitake mushroom
120g carrots (1 small)
1 tsp ground salt (1/2 tsp each will be used when cooking shiitake
mushroom and carrots)

Shrimp Tempura
Tempura is one of the most popular type of Japanese food that is widely
enjoyed around the world. Among all kinds of tempura, shrimp tempura is
probably most common one as you see on menus in Japanese restaurants.
Besides being a standalone dish, shrimp tempura is also served as part of
donburi (Tempura Donburi) or soba/udon noodle soup (Tempura soba/udon).
Ingredients
10 large shrimps
Corn starch for dusting
Oil for deep frying (vegetable oil : sesame oil = 10 : 1)
Tempura Batter (rule is egg water:flour=1:1)
1 cup (240 ml) egg water (1 cold large egg (40ml) + 200 ml ice water)

DIRECTIONS
1.
STEP 1
In a wok or large pot, heat oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 370
degrees. In a medium bowl set over an ice bath, stir yolk with chopsticks or a
whisk; add ice water, stirring to combine. Sift flour and cornstarch into egg

the batter.

Coat onion rings with batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Fry onion
rings in the hot oil in small batches, turning once, until just beginning to

bits as necessary until all onion rings have been fried. If oil becomes dark,
begin again with fresh oil. Serve immediately.
KABOCHA TEMPURA
Tempura are battered and deep fried dishes, which are commonly eaten in
Japan and I think tempura kabocha is the best one of all. If you want really
crispy tempura, its recommended that you use ice water for the batter. Its
also good to make the batter right before frying tempura as preparing the
batter ahead of time is not recommended. If you want to add extra crunch
use panko breadcrumbs. From my kitchen.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 C all-purpose flour, sifted
panko bread crumbs (optional)
kabocha squash
Procedure
Cut kabocha in half, end to end, and scoop out seeds & pulp (save
seeds for roasting). Cut the pumpkin into 1/4-1/2 slices.
Beat an egg in a bowl. Add ice water in the bowl. Be sure to use very
cold water. Add sifted flour in the bowl and mix lightly. Be careful not to over
mix the batter.
using. Fry, 3 or 4 pieces at a time, in hot oil. Transfer to a plate lined w/ white
paper or paper towel, serve immediately with salt or tempura sauce.
Kappamaki
Cucumber rolls are called kappamaki in Japan. It's one of the most popular
sushi rolls and is easy to make.
INGREDIENTS
Procedure
Put a half-size nori on top of a bamboo mat (makisu). Spread about 3/4 cup
of sushi rice on top of the nori. Place cucumber sticks horizontally on the
rice. Roll up the bamboo mat, pressing forward to shape the sushi into a
cylinder. Press the bamboo mat firmly with hands. Unwrap the bamboo mat.
Make more rolls. Wipe a knife with a wet cloth before slicing sushi. Cut the
sushi roll into bite-size pieces.
Makes 8 rolls
Ingredients
1/2 head Napa or Chinese cabbage
1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
6-8 ounces baked tofu, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
baby corn
4-5 sheets toasted nori
pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi, for serving
Instructions
Cut the cabbage into half lengthwise. Cut one half into 4 wedges lengthwise. Place the wedges in a
steamer basket with the carrots and steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
Once the cabbage has cooled, dry it thoroughly by placing it on a kitchen towel or sushi mat covered
with paper towels. Roll up in the towel or mat, squeezing lightly to remove excess moisture. Remove
any thick, tough pieces and set them aside.
Place a piece of nori on the sushi mat, and have a small bowl of water nearby. Lay a thin layer of
cabbage starting about one inch from the bottom and stopping 2 inches from the top. Be sure the
cabbage stretches to the side edges. Near the bottom end, lay a strip of tofu, carrots, and baby corn
or any combination of the three.
Lift the mat at the edge closest to you and bring the bottom edge of the nori over the tofu and other
fillings. Roll forward to tightly wrap the nori around the fillings. As you approach the far edge, dip
your fingers into the bowl of water and use them to moisten the top inch. (This will help the nori to
seal.) Complete the roll. Place it seam-side down on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining
cabbage, and cut rolls into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and
wasabi.
