Korean cooking night

March 22, 2013~ Etc.

If you’ve been to our house even once, you know you can never leave our house without getting fed.  If you’re our friends, you’ve been fed numerous times, and if you’re our acquaintances, chances are we’ve had you over for dinner at least once.  I grew up in a home where there were always people coming in and out, staying at our house, coming over for dinner and getting fed, and my parent’s friends always joked to my parents, “So, how’s the Choi’s hotel business going for you lately?”  And I loved it.  But I didn’t realize I have unknowingly passed it down to my own home until one of our close friends asked me one day, “So, how many people have you fed this week?”  
Well, the feeding has slowed down drastically lately due to my pregnancy, and I don’t think it’ll pick back up  to the usual until I have this baby and recover, but my girlfriends have been wanting to have a Korean cooking night for awhile so as soon as I felt better with this pregnancy, I threw a little cooking party.  While all our little kids were playing together, I taught my friends how to make japchae-glass noodles with beef & vegetables, kalbi-marinated short ribs, Korean style pancakes, & a spinach side-dish.  These dishes are what I make when we have guests over(after we make sure they like Korean food), 95% of the time.  It is some of the most popular dishes at Korean restaurants, so I figure you can’t go wrong with these!  And it always ends up being a huge hit.
I need to compile a recipe of the foods I made that night for my girlfriends(I didn’t really use a recipe, oops), and if you’d like a recipe also, let me know by leaving me your email address below, and I’d be happy to send it to you!
HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!
