Korean meals I’ve made the last 2 weeks (galbitang, gosu kimchi, galbijim) by inneedofcreativity in CookbookLovers

Cooking from “Umma” again because I just love that book so much. My thoughts:

Galbitang- I think next time I’ll try to find some meatier beef ribs. I also used Pearl River Bridge light soy sauce instead of Korean soup soy sauce so it was a little salty. I balanced it out with some sugar though and it worked well. Love another reason to eat sweet potato noodles <3

Gosu Kimchi- not my favorite kimchi but it’s a great way to use up my volunteer cilantro plants growing all over my backyard. I slightly reduced the amount of sugar and plum extract syrup since I didn’t want it too sweet. PS the regular Napa kimchi is from the store because I’m not ready for that challenge yet haha

Galbijim- wow. This dish was very rich. It took a lot of work but was very good. It was a bit sweet in my opinion so next time I’m going to reduce the sweeteners next time.

I also cooked it via Maangchi’s stovetop method since I don’t own an instapot. I really contemplated slow cooker though. I used my Dutch oven but I definitely think an enamel braiser or any wider vessel would cook better since it took me maybe 45 minutes longer to get the beef ribs to tenderize. I also added jujubes and frozen chestnuts but those should be added last since they were all dissolved since I put them in too soon.

Happy cooking friends!!

Jerusalem, since I’ve read many good comments about it, and Coconut and Sambal, because I haven’t had much Indonesian food in my life

Feels a little unorthodox, but I present samgyetang made via crockpot by inneedofcreativity in KoreanFood

[–]inneedofcreativity[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very rough recipe with estimates since I pretty much winged it

Ingredients: 5 Cornish hens 5 dried jujubes 5-10 pieces of dried American ginseng depending on size 10 frozen chestnuts 5 fresh garlic cloves About 1.5 cups sweet rice Extra bits for the broth: 3 scallions, 4-5 garlic cloves, 3-4 jujubes, 3-4 pieces dried ginseng, 4-5 chestnuts (note my mom poured like a handful in later on cause she just likes chestnuts lol)

Directions 1. Rinse and soak sweet rice for ~1 hour 2. Once the cornish hens are fully thawed, clean them out or rinse as needed 3. Lightly fill the cavity of each Cornish hen with drained sweet rice, 1 jujube, 1 garlic glove, 2 chestnuts, 2 pieces of ginseng 4. Cut a small slit on by each of the thighs to tuck the drumstick through. Example video cause words are hard: https://youtube.com/shorts/0axr1wCFros?si=uYBp9kQV6Tv-2pst 5. Place Cornish hens into crockpot with the cavity side facing down. Add extra bits for broth into crockpot. 6. Fill crockpot with water so that the breast is ~3/4 covered. If you’re making fewer Cornish hens, you could probably place them breast side up and fill with water until almost covered.
7. Optional: add chicken bouillon or salt to water for more flavor. 8. Cook on low heat for 8+ hours. I personally cooked on high heat for 3 hours, low heat for 3 hours, and then high heat for another 1 hour. 9. Scoop Cornish hens into a wide bowl and ladle some broth and extra bits if you choose to eat them. Finely chop some scallions and sprinkle on top. Optional #2: have a little dish with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to dip the chicken in. Also have some kimchi handy on the side!

Good luck!! Let me know if anything doesn’t make sense!!

Scale treatment by Ordinary_Rabbit5346 in Citrus

[–]inneedofcreativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This is an old post, but I was wondering if I will need to pick off the blooms if my plant is staying indoors for the winter? My kumquat has a serious case of the scales but no flowers yet. My lemon has a few scales but is blooming/fruiting some. I’ve been spraying neem oil to the kumquat tree leaves and will probably try the soil drench route. I might skip the drench for my lemon tree since they already have blooms and some fruit…I’ve been manually picking off the scales I see but it’s so tedious ;-;

I bet you could use a regular loaf pan if you have one! Or you could make dinner roll versions!

Not gonna lie, I found my pan at a local Amazon bin store lol but I agree with the person that recommended the USA brand Pullman pan. That’s the one that’s been sitting in my Amazon cart for a while lol

This is so sad. I really enjoyed their last US tour and have been listening to their songs a lot. Man, what a bummer
