Geek’s recipe 3: The revolution in Taste!

Once, I considered about the new recipe, I wonder what kind of food that I suppose to choose.

It was hard and unending question. However, I once saw the TV show about my hometown’s food.

THE HONGEO SAMHAP..

Isn’t it look’s great and tasty food to eat?? I hope you feel hungry when you see this picture of food. 🙂

Now, let’s see what is on the plate. I can see the pork is on left side of plate and Kimchi on the middle.

Then what do you think on the right side.

I will just tell you the answer. Basically, this food needs 3 different ingredients. Steamed pork, Kimchi, and

 this fish.

It’s English name is skate, it is one of species in ray.

Do you want to know how this   can turn into this ?

First of all, the hongeo samhap (simply samhap) needs to well grown Pork 2~3 lbs, soy source, some soju (Korean alcohol), onion,ginger, dried chili, bay leafs, and garlic.

However, cooking hongeo(cooked skate) and Kimchi is so hard for beginners, I just recommend to buy it from Korean market or visit South Korea. 😉

However, after boiling the water a while you need to put 2 big spoons of soy source, garlic to make soup.

Then you need to put pork in the soup for 6~10 minutes based on the amount of pork.

While the pork is boiling, you need to put the soju inside of soup so that it can bring more tastes and soften the pork.

Finally, put it out and slice in size of one bite.

Now put them in this order. Pork, Kimchi ,and hongeo.

That’s it.

Now try it and feel the taste is started from your nose, mouth, eyes, and stomach. The revolution will starts in your mouth.

Anyhow, I can guarantee that once you eat this food, then you will want to kill me for introduced this food. (Maybe?)
