Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Bapsang (aka Spicy Korean Bulgogi)

Description

I grew up enjoying “Spicy Korean BBQ” at our local Asian “Dive” restaurant.  When Russ moved to Missouri, from Maine, in 2000… this was one of the first things I introduced him to when he moved here, and he fell in love immediately.  Recently the owner of the Asian restaurant died, so our dreams of enjoying this lovely dish were dashed.  Until I was recently chatting with a friend that used to work there.  He gave me some of the ingredients that he remembered they used to put in it… and that started a few days of digging around on Google.  Russ enjoyed this (pork) on Monday night for dinner.  Leftovers tonight, and requested that I make it using chicken for tomorrow night.  SO… I think maybe he likes it.  Even though during dinner on Monday his nose was running, his eyes were watering and and he kept telling me how fantastic it was.

Ingredients

1.5 lb boneless pork shoulder, or pork belly, chilled or frozen for easier slicing (chicken is also a good substitute)

3 stalks green onion, sliced into 2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1/4 cup korean red chili paste, gochujang (Sriracha is a good substitute)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons Mirin (or rice wine)

2 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

Sesame seed, to garnish

Rice, to serve

Directions

Slice the pork (or chicken) into extremely thin slices, then transfer to a large bowl. This works best when the meat is super cold or partially frozen. Add in all of the ingredients, then mix until the meat is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (overnight is best). You can either grill or stir-fry the meat.  Preheat your grill, add meat, and grill for a few minutes until done.  If stir-fying, add meat to pan - being sure not to crowd the pan, stir-fry the meat in batches until slightly crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. If you’re using pork belly, cook for a bit longer, around 6-7 minutes. Sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds on top, then serve with rice!

Amish Apple Fritter Bread

Description

Fall is upon us and that means a slice of warm quick bread or a muffin with your cup of coffee at breakfast.  Usually, banana bread is the winner in our home… but a good apple bread is a favorite in our house as well.

Ingredients

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. Vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups diced apples (about 4 med apples) mixed with a little cinnamon and sugar to coat.

Ingredients (Glaze)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 Tablespoon butter, softened

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray so it slides out easily. Mix the first two ingredients, the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until blended. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this mixture to the other and stir until well blended. Pour the milk into the batter and blend until smooth. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then add half of your chopped apple mixture. Pour the rest of the batter on top of the apples. Top with remaining apples and pat them slightly into the batter. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture you had set aside. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, approximately 60 to 70 minutes. To make the powdered sugar glaze, blend the powdered sugar and butter together until smooth, mix in the milk and vanilla until a nice, smooth glaze consistency. Let the apple fritter cool about 30 minutes before pouring the glaze on top. Wrap up to give as gifts or slice into desired slices. Middle apple layer with the apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar. More apples patted into batter on top and then topped with the brown sugar mix. Baking up golden brown like a giant apple fritter. Just look at those chunky moist apples in the middle.

Mellow Corn Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey

Description

Produced since 1945, Mellow Corn is made in accordance with a unique set of regulations that define Straight Corn Whiskey. It is distilled from a mash of at least 80 percent corn and aged for four years in once-used Bourbon barrels. Compared to the deep amber color created by the newly charred oak barrels in the production of other Bourbons and American Whiskeys, the result of the used barrel is a lighter, straw-colored spirit. Heaven Hill Distillery is one of the few remaining producers of this unique whiskey.

Details

Mashbill: 90% corn, 10% malted barley

Proof: 100 (50% ABV)

Region: Bardstown, Kentucky, USA

Color: Light gold, pale straw

Nose: Corn, oak, plaintain, vanilla

Taste: Corn, vanilla, dried banana chips, toasted oak, light nuttiness

Finish: Vanilla, corn, faint note of tropical fruit juice

Price: $15 (750ml)

Rating: 85
