I love food. During my time in Korea, I have been collecting recipes and anecdotes about Korean food. I also have been working on survival techniques for westerners living in Korea.
In this journal are recipes for cooking Korean food in Korea or abroad and recipes for recreating western food with Korean ingredients.
But mostly, it's about enjoying life.

(FFF #5) Chicken Stock for All Occasions
It's always good to buy chickens whole when you're frying them or doing whatever you're going to do with them. After you're finished chopping them up, you're usually left with a back and other unusable pieces. Unusable? No. You will get more use out of the backs in the long run than the chicken itself.
INGREDIENTS 1 Chicken back and bits and pieces 1 Onion, coarsely chopped 1 Carrot, coarsely chopped Some salt and pepper (not much)
1. Put all the ingredients in a large pot and fill with water until just covered. 2. Place on high heat. 3. When it boils, lower it to simmer and cover. 4. Simmer for one hour.
Let the stock cool to room temperature or just cool enough to handle. Run the stock through a strainer and separate the pure liquid stock into little containers and freeze it. Now you have stock handy to pull out for any recipe.
The ZenKimchi 식 Ruffians is a group dedicated to finding the sublime meal in Korea. "식" (Sik) is the Korean word for "cuisine." "Ruffians" is the term used for fans and followers of Anthony Bourdain's philosophy of experiencing the most a culture has to offer through its food.
