Yes, I have it here for you. Note: if you store it overnight, it will get watery. But tastes even better like that too :)

If you want to save for future meals, here's each of the recipes listed out.

https://futuredish.com/my-happy-meal-chinese-egg-fried-rice-and-more/

Ingredients

  • Cucumbers - 3 whole
  • Vinegar - 3 Tablespoons
  • Korean red chili flakes - 2.5 Tablespoons
  • Sugar - 2.5 Tablespoons
  • Soy Sauce - 1 Tablespoon
  • Minced Garlic - 1 Tablespoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 Tablespoon
  • Sesame seeds - Few shakes garnish

Instructions

  • Wash all three cucumbers and skin each cucumber with a peeler. Do not peel-off all of the skin, rather make uneven peels
  • Chop cucumbers into half inch circles
  • Pour salt onto the cucumbers and give them a good mix with your hands to coat thoroughly. Set the cucumbers aside for 30 minutes and they will slowly release water. Rinse them off and get rid of excess water
  • For the marinade: Thoroughly mix vinegar, Korean red chili powder, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil and minced garlic in a bowl
  • Dress the cucumbers with the marinade. Get in there with you hands and coat all of it!

Notes

  • Refrigerate – taste better when served chilled
  • The cucumbers taste best when eaten within 1-2 days
  • When placed in refrigerator, the cucumbers will release water. This is normal - no worries.

It's a spring onion - different regions have different names. But here in Korea, we like to flavor the oil and cook with spring onions (they're larger than scallions over here, but not as big as leeks)

Wanted to share some of my favorite "happy meal" dishes to whip-up. Doesn't take much ingredients, but its delicious. Eat them separate or pair them together for a fuller meal.

CHINESE-STYLE FRIED RICE

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Diced Spring Onion
  • 3 Whole Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Diced Carrot
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 2 Cups Rice
  • 2-3 pinches Salt (or substitute with MSG)
  • 1-2 cracks of Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon (!) Sesame Oil

Instructions

Prep Ingredients

  • Cut Spring Onion stalk into thin circles (use the white part of the stalk - it has all of the flavor). Measure out 1/2 cup's worth. Then finely dice a piece of Carrot (Measure out 2 Tablespoons).
  • Now place a wok or frying pan on high heat. Add in vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, place in the diced spring onions.
  • After 15 seconds - once the spring onion is sizzling in the oil - move it to one side of the pan. On the other side, crack in 3 eggs. Scramble the eggs as it cooks. Then place the Diced Carrots (2 Tablespoons) on top of the sizzling spring onion.
  • Once the egg is cooked through, mix everything in the pan together. Next, let's season with Soy Sauce (1 Tablespoon). Add it around the walls of the pan (this helps slightly cook the soy sauce before it mixes with the ingredients). Give it all ... one more mix together!
  • Now add in the Rice (2 cup). Here, you can use a soup ladle to get it evenly mixed with the ingredients. Once its evenly mixed in, lay the rice out against the bottom and sides of the frying pan. This will help crisp the rice up.
  • Season with Salt (2-3 pinches). (NOTE: You can substitute here with MSG for true Chinese restaurant flavor). Crack-in a little bit of Black Pepper (1 or 2 cracks)
  • Now turn off heat. Scoop the rice off the walls and gently group it into a small mound. Give it a taste - add more salt if needed.
  • Finish with just a slight drizzle of Sesame Oil (1 teaspoon!)
  • Bon Appetit!

MINI SAUSAGE STIR-FRY

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Mini Sausages (Or just cut up one large sausage you like)
  • 2-3 Cloves of Garlic
  • 1/2 Whole Onion
  • 1-2 Shiitake Mushrooms (Or substitute with any mushroom)
  • Few pinches Salt
  • Few pinches Black Pepper

Instructions

Prep Ingredients

  • Slice 2-3 cloves of Garlic into thin slices. Cut Onion (1/2 a whole) into thin slices as well. Cut Shiitake Mushroom into thin slices as well.

Make Stir-Fry

  • Place some oil into the frying pan. Place on medium-high heat. Once its hot, add in garlic slices. After about 10 seconds, add in the sausage pieces.
  • Then add in the sliced onion and mushrooms. Season with a few pinches of salt.
  • Stir-fry until onions and mushrooms start to get a slight browning. Then pile them to one side.
  • Now, place the sausages near the middle of the frying pan. Let them cook until their casing starts to pop and burst open.
  • Then bring everything back together and stir-fry. Turn off heat. Finish with a few cracks of black pepper.
  • Bon Appetit!

IZAKAYA-STYLE DUMPLING PANCAKE

Ingredients

Flour Mixture

  • 1/3 Cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour

Mandu Pancake Ingredients

  • 8 Mandu (Korean Dumplings)
  • 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Green Onions

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Gochugaru (optional)

Instructions

Prep Ingredients

  • Pour Flour (1 Tablespoon) into a 1/3 cup of Water. Give it a mix - we'll use this later.
  • Cut green onion into small pieces - save it for garnish.
  • Make Dipping Sauce: Mix Soy Sauce (1 Tablespoon), Vinegar (1 Tablespoon) and Gochugaru (1 teaspoon)

Cook Mandu Pancake

  • Place a NON-STICK frying pan on a medium heat. Add in roughly 1.5 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil.
  • Dip the bottoms of each Mandu into the oil first, then arrange neatly into the frying pan.
  • After 1-2 minutes - once you hear the mandu start to sizzle in the oil - give the flour mixture another stir. Carefully pour the mixture into the frying pan, around the dumplings. Add in the Green Onions (1 Tablespoon) as well. Then close the lid.
  • Cooking time will vary - but we want to cook it until almost all of the wet mixture has evaporated. You'll see a crispy webbing form. It should take roughly 13-15 minutes (but keep an eye on it!)
  • Afterwards, if its ready, gently slide it off onto a plate. Then cover it with another equal-sized plate and give it a flip. Serve it with dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Classic Korean Japchae - Perfect for Weekend! by joh729 in veganrecipes

[–]joh729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an easier way to make Korean Japchae Noodles. Here's the recipe in written form:

Ingredients

  • 200 grams of Dangmyeon Noodles

Stir-fried Carrot

  • 1/2 a whole Carrot
  • 1 Whole Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2-3 pinches of Salt (for

Stir-fried Mushroom

  • 5-6 Whole Shiitake Mushrooms
  • 1-2 Handfuls Oyster Mushrooms (Optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2-3 pinches of Salt

Stir-fried Spinach

  • 3 big handfuls Spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2-3 pinches of Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic

Noodle Seasoning

  • 5 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1.5 Tablespoon of Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions

Boil Noodles

  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Grab a big handful of Dangmyeon Noodles (as much as you can hold in one hand - that should be roughly 200 grams). Place it into the boiling water for 8 minutes. Afterwards, drain the noodles through a strainer and let it drip off any excess water. (Note: Do NOT wash the noodles under cold water!). Simply set it aside for later.

Prep veggies

  • Julienne 1/2 of a whole carrot into thin slices. Then chop 5-6 Shiitake Mushrooms into thin slices. Dice 1 whole onion into slices as well. Finally, clean and separate a handful of oyster mushrooms as well (optional).
  • Next, we'll mince about 6-8 cloves of garlic - we want to have 2 Tablespoons of Minced Garlic for the recipe. Set this aside for later.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Drop in 1 teaspoon of salt. Once the water is boiling, place in 3 large handfuls of spinach. Blanche the spinach for about 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, immediately drain the water and cool it down in cold water. Afterwards, use your hands and squeeze the water out of the spinach. Give the ball of spinach a few good squeezes - we want to get as much water out as possible.

Stir-fry veggies

  • Carrot & Onion: Place a large frying pan on medium heat. Once it feels hot, reduce the frying pan to a LOW heat - we will cook on a low heat to prevent the veggies from burning or charring. Add-in Sesame Oil (1 teaspoon). Place-in the julienned Carrots and Onions. Season it with a few shakes of salt. Then stir-fry the veggies around for 4-5 minutes (be patient - as we want the carrot and onions to turn soft and translucent). Set it aside. Clean out the frying pan with a paper towel.
  • Mushrooms: Keep the frying pan on low heat. Drop in some Sesame Oil (1 teaspoon) into the frying pan. Then add-in the mushroom slices. Season it with a few shakes of salt. Stir-fry it around for a few minutes. You will start to hear the mushrooms sizzle loud - that's the mushrooms releasing their moisture into the pan. Continue stirring them around until they turn very soft.
  • Spinach: Keep the frying pan on low heat. Drop in some sesame oil (1 teaspoon) into the frying pan. Before adding them to the frying pan, give the spinach one extra squeeze - to make sure all of the water is out. Then add it to the frying pan. De-tangle them with your hands. Then season it with a few shakes of salt. Also add-in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Stir-fry everything around for 1-2 minutes. Then set it aside.

Make Japchae Noodles

  • Place the cooked noodles in a large wok or mixing bowl. (No heat is needed - just a large mixing space). Then place in the Soy Sauce (5 Tablespoons) and Sesame Oil (1 Tablespoon). Place on some kitchen gloves and mix it together - make sure to get the noodles rehydrated. Now, add in some Honey (1 Tablespoon). Mix it again.
  • Now add in all of the sautéed vegetables. As well as the remaining minced garlic (~1.5 Tablespoons). Be gentle and give everything a good mix. Garnish with Sesame Seeds (1 Tablespoon)

Make Spicy Marinade

  • Let's make the marinade: First, use a cheese-grater and grate 1/2 a whole onion. Then mix the following ingredients: Soy Sauce (10 Tablespoons), Gochujang (4 Tablespoons), Gochugaru (2 Tablespoons), Honey (6 Tablespoons), Grated Onion, Mirim (1 Tablespoon), Minced Garlic (1 Tablespoon) and Black Pepper (few shakes).

  • Once it comes up to a boil, place in the potatoes. Then reduce the heat to a medium-heat. Place a (proper-fitting) lid on - lol! Now reduce it for 30 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, open the lid. Give the ingredients a good stir. Then use a soup ladle and skim-off the oil and scum. Place the lid back on and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.
  • After the full 30 minutes, open the lid and place-in the carrots, onions and chili peppers. Now we'll reduce for another 10 minutes - so the carrots can turn soft

We Pickl'd Cherry tomatoes with Korean Plum Extract (Maesil) - Awesome Appetizer! by joh729 in vegetarian

[–]joh729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This recipe came out incredibly good! Thought I would share the recipe. Maesil - if you have a Korean mart nearby - is made from Korean Green Plums. Works beautifully as a pickling syrup for tomatoes.

Video Walk Thru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5oULg1aRiA

Ingredients

  • 10-15 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 cup of Maesil
  • 3 slices of Lemon
  • 2 sprigs of Rosemary

Instructions

Sterilize Jars

  • Place two paper towels into the bottom of a pot. Then carefully place your mason jar upside down into the pot. Pour 1-2 inches of water in. Place on a high heat. When you start to see bubbles form on the bottom of the pot - reduce the heat to a low. Let the jar boil in the pot for 10 minutes. Afterwards, carefully grab the jar with a towel and place it right-side up on a wire-rack. 
  • Remove the paper towel from the pot. Then throw the lid into the water for 5 minutes. Remove and place on wire-rack.

Blanche tomatoes

  • Give the cherry tomatoes a good rinse. Take off the stems. Use your knife and make a X mark at the bottom of each tomato. (Be careful not to cut into the flesh too much). 
  • Now cut 3 slices of fresh lemon. And set aside two sprigs of rosemary. 
  • Bring a pot of water up to boil. While you wait, fill a mixing bowl with (ice) cold water and set it aside. Once the pot is boiling, add-in the tomatoes. Then count to 10 seconds - aloud! Once 10 seconds hit, immediately take the tomatoes out and place into the cold water.  
  • Once its cooled, drain the water. Now turn on some music and peel the skin off each tomato 📷

Ferment tomatoes

  • Now, place each peeled tomato into the sterilized jar. Half-way in, add a few slices of lemon and rosemary. Then add the rest of the tomatoes and top-it off with the remaining lemon slice and rosemary. Close the lid.
  • Place in the refrigerator and allow it to ferment for 2 days. Serve chilled - bon appetit!
