Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 20 mins

Total time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoon black bean paste (춘장, choonjang)
• 4 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• ½ lb pork, diced to ½" cubes
• ¼ cabbage, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• ½ zucchini, diced to ½" cubes
• 1 small russet potato, diced ½" cubes
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, optional

• ½ cucumber, julienne thinly for garnish

Instructions

1. In a wok or skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add the bean paste and sugar and stir fry together for 3-4 minutes. The oil and the paste won't get mixed. Using a slotted spoon, scoop up the paste to drain the oil and transfer to a bowl. Set aside. If you are using pre-roasted paste, you can skip this step.
2. Discard the rest of oil except 1 tablespoon remaining in a skillet. Add the pork and cook until no longer in pink. Add cabbage, onion, zucchini, and potato and stir fry until somewhat soft.
3. Add the black bean paste back to the skillet and mix. Add oyster sauce if your desire. Pour 1½ cup of water and bring everything to boil, reduce the heat to simmer until everything is tender yet retain their shape, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt or soy sauce if needed.
4. Mix corn starch with 3 tablespoon water and add to the skillet. The sauce will thicken within minutes. Remove from the heat
5. Meanwhile bring a pot of water to boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package direction, usually about 6-7 minutes.
6. Drain the noodles and rinse once with hot water to remove excess starch.
7. Place noodles in a large shallow individual serving bowl and pour the sauce over. Garnish with cucumber slices. Serve hot.

Easy Cabbage Kimchi

Prep time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Total time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Serves: makes 1 head of cabbage

Ingredients

• 1 head (3 lbs or 1.5 kg) Korean Napa cabbage, sliced into 1.5-2" (smaller at the stem part)
• 8 cups water
• 1¼ cup Korean coarse sea salt
• 1 Asian leek or onion, thinly sliced1 bunch green onion, sliced into 2" long

Ford the quick seafood stock:

• 5-6 dried anchovies
• 3-4 whole shelled small shrimps
• 2 cups water

For the Kimchi filling:

• ½ onion, diced
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1" small piece of ginger, diced
• ½ sweet apple, peeled and diced
• ⅓ cup cooked white rice
• ⅔ cup Korean chili flakes
• 3 tablespoon Korean anchovy sauce
• 2 tablespoon salted shrimp
• 2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Dissolve the coarse sea salt with  water in a very large shallow mixing bowl or in the sink. Add the cabbage slices and toss to mix. Press top so the solution will sip through the cabbage.
2. Soak the cabbage for 1 hour in the solution, toss so the top side will go down to the bottom and let it soak for another 45-60 minutes until the cabbage is well wilted.
3. Meanwhile, make the seafood stock. Combine anchovies and shrimp in the water, bring to boil first, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Let it cool and strain the stock. Reserve 1 cup.
4. Rinse the cabbage 3 times and drain very well. You might need to press the cabbages firmly to remove the extra moisture.
5. To make filling, place onion, garlic, ginger, apple, and rice in a blender. Add the reserved stock and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree into a medium size mixing bowl and add the rest of the filling ingredients, mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the chili flakes will absorb the moisture.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine drained cabbage, leek(or onion), and green onion. Add ⅔ of kimchi filling first and toss everything very well. You might need to add the rest of the filling if your kimchi doesn't seem to be red enough.
7. Taste your kimchi and adjust seasoning by adding more anchovy sauce or salt. It should taste a little saltier than you would hope for. Transfer your kimchi into the storage container.
8. Pour ½ cup of water to the mixing bowl that you made kimchi in, swirl around to wash the filling and pour over to your kimchi.
9. Serve this kimchi on the same day you made to enjoy the fresh taste or let it sit on the room temperature for 1-2 days to ferment, then store in the fridge and consume within a month.

Note: Store your kimchi in an air tight container and place 1-2 boxes of baking soda in the fridge to absorb the odor.

給我的女婿們

看了龍貓臉書上分享的一篇文章, 想到我的兩個女婿--

身為丈母娘, 中文既然不是很好, 又不擅表達自己的意思, 所以, 先把這篇文章轉載下來, 待有需要時, 轉寄給我的女婿看看!  ( 希望永遠不會有用到的那天! )

男人給男人的話:自己的老婆自己疼

老婆為女人時， 生活在娘家，
從小沒吃我們家一粒米，沒喝我們家一口水，
就為一個“情”字， 離開自小拉拔自己成人的父母 ，
把自己的大半生託付給我們，嫁給我們為妻，
以我們的父母為父母，以我們的兄弟 姐妹為兄弟姐妹，
你說，我們不對她好，能對得起自己的良心嗎？ 人要有良心啊！

想一想，
老婆十月懷胎是多麼不易，
如果沒有即將做母親的喜悅作為精神支柱在那兒撐著，
任誰給他裝上那麼大的肚子也忍受不了。

好不容易撐到分娩，
大命換小命，盼來個母子平安， 孩子還得跟我們姓。
你說，我們不對她好，能對得起她為我們做出的付出嗎？
人心可都是肉長的！

男人女人都會“敏感”，
但男人是對事敏感，一件事覺得不對，事後越想越不對，生氣；
女人是對話敏感，
一句話聽的不舒服，越琢磨越覺得不對味，生氣。

所以，作為男人，委屈一下，
多挑老婆愛聽的說，哄哄她，
讓她高興，我們也高興，何樂而不為。

世上美女多得是，結婚了，就要心無旁騖，
並且，千萬不能拿自己的老婆與別的女性做比較。
貂禪漂亮，但你也得有呂布的英俊模樣和超群武藝，
如果沒有，那還不是空尋煩惱 ？

如果你和老婆一起上街，
看到一位年齡、身材與老婆差不多的女士穿了一身漂亮衣服，
那你一定千方百計鼓動她也去買一套，
事後你一定會有額外驚喜。

人活一世，環境不同，家教不同，遭遇不同，
造就了人與人之間的不同性格和習慣，
到結婚年齡的人，性格、習慣已經形成了。

古語說：江山易改，本性難移。
男人結婚後，
不要老想著按自己的要求和模式去試圖改變妻子的缺點、
不足和習慣，
聰明的做法是從自身做起，按照老婆的喜好改變自己，
這樣堅持下去，久而久之，
她會感到與你一起生活是最好的，是最適合她的，
她就會把你當成最可信賴和最依靠的人，想讓她不對你好都難。

現代女性大多是工作女性，在外工作一天，
特別在每月那特別的幾天，女性比我們還疲勞，
一定要做到共同承擔家務。

家務繁瑣但不重，每天周而復始，做久了，是一種心理疲勞。
我們通常說：男女搭配，做事不累，這個辦法在家中同樣適用。

自己的老婆自己疼，
如果在這個世界上，有一個人比你還疼你的老婆，
那你就離麻煩不遠了。
