Comments on: Cucumber with “ssam jang” http://www.buhaykorea.com/2005/09/30/cucumber-with-ssam-jang/ Pinay, Seoulite, Working Mom, and Wife to a Korean Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:48:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Erin http://www.buhaykorea.com/2005/09/30/cucumber-with-ssam-jang/#comment-8067 Erin Mon, 09 Oct 2006 13:50:18 +0000 http://www.buhaykorea.com/?p=204#comment-8067 I am looking on websites for Korean traditions for my friend and I can across this post. This recipe looks like a great idea. However, as a westerner I would never eat cucumbers dipped in mayonaise. That would be gross. Most people would probably use a vinegar based or sour cream based dip with dill or other flavorings. I am looking on websites for Korean traditions for my friend and I can across this post.

You can get a 100-gram of samgyeopsal from 900-1,600 won. We usually order about 600-gram (”han-geun”) for my husband and I. Aside from the meat, we have to buy a variety of leaves for wrapping. The most common is “sang-chu” or lettuce but you can also use other leaves such as “ketnip” (perilla) and others that I don’t know the name of. To eat samgyeopsal, you just take a leaf or two (lettuce and perilla), add a piece of meat, slice of garlic, “ssam jang” and if you want, you can also add a slice of kimchi or seasoned green onion (shredded green onion mixed with sesame oil and red pepper). Before placing the meat on the leaf, you might want to dip it in a mixture of salt, sesame oil and black pepper for added taste. When I went home to the Philippines, I brought home with me a container of “ssam jang” and served samgyeopsal to my family. They loved it! “Ssam jang” is available at any Korean store.

When we go to the International market,I see lots of Korean stuff, just don't know what they are or how they are supposed to be cooked. Kimchi, that I know very well because I eat kimchi. But they seem to make kimchi with different stuff, aside from the regular napa cabbage. There are lots of Koreans where we live and so lots of Korean stores and Korean foods.

Start ka muna as a scrap book, then pag marami marami na, i launch mo dito sa net. Ask for visitors comments, para madali ma convince ang publisher. Much better, if you have the money, publish it yourself. What do you think?
