This week's trip to the Korean supermarket included a rare Korean meal out. Oh, Los Angeles Ktown, how I miss you.
The panchan at Kukje are pretty good. The broccoli with little tofu curds was a little different from usual, but tasty. I should start making little dishes like this at home so we eat more kinds of vegetables every day.
I had dok bok gi (spelling known to vary widely), Korean rice cakes in a spicy chili paste sauce. I fell in love with this dish in high school during International Food Week, when all the foreign language classes would team up with food-savvy parents to run food stalls representing all the cultures of the kids at school. It was always such a great time, and one of the most fun fundraising events I've ever seen. Kukje's version is a little lacking in depth of flavor (usually achieved by adding something fishy or meaty), but quite tender and saucy. Good enough, though not fantastic.
J's neng myun was less exciting. The noodles looked a little overcooked, but he said overall it was fine if not great.
