Korean Beef Stew By Tessa Cruz

-

For as long as I can remember, the Korean Beef Stew at the fastfood joint House of Kimchi was always been one of my favorites.  I loved the spicy-sweet sauce that I'd spoon over the hot rice.  I would usually go back to the counter to ask for another serving of the sauce (I'd tell the server na nagsebo na yung dish so I needed a hot refill).

When my mom opened her own little eatery in Novaliches (Tessa's Kainan sa Sangandaan, of course!), she served the quintessential Beef Pares but called it Korean Beef. I remember the male customers unable to resist making inappropriate cracks about Korean Bugs (supposedly an aphrodisiac). It wasn't quite the same as the Beef Stew, but it would occasionally satisfy my craving for the real thing when going to SM Foodcourt was not possible at that moment.

Fast forward to 2007, I stumbled upon an entry on Connie Veneracion's Pinoycook blog that had the recipe for Kimchi's Korean Beef Stew.  I thanked her for the recipe and planned to cook the dish this weekend.  (Side note:  It turns out that Connie's husband Speedy works with my dad.  Papa even mentioned that Connie wrote the script for the birthday presentation that his co-workers prepared for him.  So sweet and nice of her!)

Yesterday, I went to Super-H (Asian grocery) and got some beef short ribs, sesame seeds and onion leaves.  I followed the recipe to the letter, with the exception of adding a bit of chili sesame oil, at my mom's suggestion.

Here's my first attempt at Korean Beef Stew a la Kimchi:

And to complete the meal, we had beansprouts and, of course, rice!

The verdict:  I thought it tasted exactly as I remembered it - I could almost see myself sitting in those plastic tables and benches in the Foodcourt.  Glen said it tasted great.  So it looks like I have a new addition to my cooking repertoire!  Come and have dinner with us sometime and I'll prepare it for you!

You're in the supermarket after the long tiring work. Your boss scolded you for a mistake that you made in your work and you feel so bad about it. You didn't notice that you are already in the meat section and you have no idea how you get there. And then the first thing that you saw is the packed tocino. You then feel a little relieved because Tocino is one of your favorite breakfast back when you're still in college. How about cook your own Tocino? You remembered back then when you're in the HRM class cooking that you cooked a recipe Hamonado and start to realize that the taste of Hamonado and Tocino is a little bit similar. They're both a bit sweet and tender. You then realized that you are going to cook your own Tocino but not now. You need to have the recipe for it before buying the ingredients for the food. You then just grab a pack of processed Tocino and then went home. You start to ask yourself if you can cook your own Tocino and then your start to think
