My friend S took me to Seoul Garden in Los Angeles, and I really liked the food. It's basically a simple hot pot of sliced ribeye, a huge pile of slivered napa and green onions, and a few pieces of mushrooms, fish cake, and so on. You start the meal dipping the cooked ingredients in a tangy soy sauce mixture. Then the servers use the broth to cook udon (we skipped this at home), and finally they use the broth to cook a thick rice porridge with seaweed and sesame oil. I added bonito fish flakes and gojiberries at home, it was a great meal for a chilly evening. And it was a way to get a lot of variety on the table even though I was feeling too sick today to cook.
And, beer update! We've racked the beer and started the second fermentation. I regret to report that the beer doesn't smell particularly good. I don't think it's bad, it just doesn't make me salivate the way one or two past batches did when I opened the plastic bucket. Hopefully all will still go well.
