Alex wanted to help take care of some of the weeknight meals week, so I've been living my best Korean life all week.
These days off have left me in a vegetative state. The only thing I did was help. Alex cut up ingredients for dinner because this holiday weekend at work has me scrambling.
From my understanding of all the dinners, Alex has made me. Korean food is more spicy and sweet mix. This is where I normally get on google and do research, but again, i'm at work. Depending on when I get to type, this out is whether I'd do it or not.
I'm so grateful for that amazing man, he is out of his mind in pain and always so calm and thoughtful. For an example, I stayed late at work last night, so he made me work lunch out of what was supposed to be dinner.
We made sesame beef, sweet and sticky chicken, and spicy and sweet pork stir fry. I was the sous chef and did all the chopping, because he'd have cut himself. As in true Alex fashion, he wouldn't let me near the sauce. He says his grandmother would roll over in her grave, so I cannot know the Asian secrets. She said something about needing to have one thing he knew that I didn't.
So when we went to a Japanese restaurant yesterday, I asked him questions about the food culture to be able to depict it properly to you guys. Korean food is rice vegetable and fish based cuisine. They use spices and peppers to even the flavors out in the dishes served. Korean people are all about hospitality and honor. Alex says that if you go to Korea and you are offered food or drinks by a host ALWAYS TAKE IT GRACIOUSLY. If you don't it’s blatantly disrespectful.
I am going to add a couple recipes to the Recipe page. These are from m y husband so I hope you guys try them and love them like I do. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I will get back to you with an answer.
