"Mrs. Pyke Eats Korea" Cold Sesame Noodles



As seen in the July 2018 edition of the 
Chosun Taekwondo Academy Newsletter 

Cold Sesame Noodles
Here is a really yummy recipe for cold sesame noodles. This dish is originally from China but you will see it served in various styles all over Asia. You will need to get a couple of special ingredients from an Asian market. The first is Chinese Sesame Paste, Zhi Ma Jiang. This is a dark roasted sesame butter with sesame oil and sugar. Also you will need fresh Chinese egg noodles. You can find them fresh or frozen at the market or in the Tofu section at the Shop Rite. Another note about this recipe, they must be made fresh and eaten immediately.
Otherwise they turn into a sticky clump!! When I make them for a pot luck I always keep the sesame sauce and noodles separate and then mix them at the last minute.

1# Chinese egg noodles, fresh or frozen
( I have made this recipe with Soba noodles and in a pinch thin spaghetti and the results were lovely)
2 TBS sesame oil (toasted)
3 TBS Soy sauce
2 TBS rice vinegar
2 TBS Chinese sesame paste, Zhi Ma Jiang
1 TBS smooth peanut butter
1 TBS sugar
1 TBS finely grated ginger root
2 TSP minced garlic
2 TSP chili garlic sauce, Sambal Oelek
¼ cup chopped unsalted dry roasted peanuts
English cucumber peeled, seeded and cut into thin 2 inch sticks.

Step 1
In a bowel whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter,sugar, ginger, garlic and chili garlic sauce.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss and drain again and add a splash of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking together. This is where you should stop if you want to delay serving.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Place them in a beautiful bowl and garnish with the cucumbers and peanuts.

Have wonderful summer and see you in the Dojang!!

"Mrs. Pyke Eats Korea" Tteokguk Rice Cake Soup

      
                                           As seen in the February 2018 edition of the 
                                           Chosun Taekwondo Academy Newsletter 
Tteokguk  Rice Cake Soup

In Korea everyone celebrates Jeongwol Daeboreum ( Lunar New Year) by enjoying a bowl of Tteokguk, rice cake soup.  The clean white broth
signifies a fresh start to the new year and the coin shape of the tteokguk-yong-tteok ( rice cakes) represent good luck and good fortune. This is another example of Korean cooking that is not spicey and would make a great introduction to anyone new to Korean cuisine. Kids will love it too! I have researched two recipes so far and I find this one to be excellent.
   
INGREDIENTS
1 pound sliced rice cakes
10 ounces beef chuck
3 cloves garlic
5 green onions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (gukgangang)
1 tablespoon soju ( drink the rest, ice, soju and pink grapefruit juice, super yummy)
2 egg yolks
salt
Toasted seaweed for garnish
Freshly ground pepper
Soak the rice cakes in cold water for 20 minutes.
Wash the beef in cold water to remove excess blood, pat dry and cut in to bite size pieces.
Slice the green onions and garlic
Heat a soup pot over medium high heat with sesame oil and sauté the beef and garlic for a quick minute. Add soy sauce and soju and stir. When the beef is no longer pink add 10 cups water and boil for 15 minutes.
While your beef is cooking whisk the eggs  and salt and pour into a gently heated pan and create a thin pancake. Flip it over for a second then place on cutting board to cool. Slice into thin strips. This will be a garnish with the Gim (toasted seaweed).
As the broth is cooking skim off any foam that forms on the surface, this creates the clear broth.
Drain the rice cakes and add them to the pot. Boil for five minutes. Sprinkle in the green onions and season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Ladle into a bowl and drizzle with  sesame oil. Crush the toasted seaweed with your fingers  and add some sliced egg to garnish the soup.
Enjoy!!

Happy New Year to you all!! Year of the Dog!!

The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 9 #1 January, 2018

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast,

Welcome to the January edition of the  Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter! The beginning of the New Year is a time to look backward and forward... 2017 was marked by two major milestones in the history of the Chosun Taekwondo Academy... And as the um/yang reminds us,  the dynamic forces that shape our lives exist in the balance of opposites. As we celebrated Chosun's 20th year anniversary, we sadly said good bye to our mentor and guiding force for those 20 years, Grandmaster Rhin Moon Richard Chun. We march on into 2018 with our taekwondo and yoga practices to fortify us in the face of adversity and celebrate just how far we have come...continue the journey!
