Kimchi Chigae

Chigae!

In a way, it's leftover casserole, but better: kimchi plus kimchi juice, hondashi, greens, tofu, ground meat, Korean chili paste, and oysters.
And my other project, gracefully modelled by my bicycle. Not that I would use bells of Ireland, but I figured since I bought the roses I should rearrange them a few times for practice.
I did not know our gray concrete deck would photograph so strikingly at dusk. Anyhow, I need floral sheers to clip the bottom of the bouquet cleanly, wrap the handle with satin, and use a flower or filler that's more appropriate than bells. But I think I have the technique down, at least for the small bridesmaids' bouquets. Price difference? Under $10 versus $50-75.

Cool! That looks pretty easy. Maybe I'll try that myself.

And what is hondashi?

Hondashi is dried bonito (fish) ground into powder. You can find it in any Asia market.

Never had kc-cg with oysters or Hondashi in it, but sounds yummy. Is this your personal recipe or did you find it on the internet?
