Soon Doo Bu Jigae 1970-01-01 00:59:59 What could be in this red boiling cauldron? It's definitely not the Weird Sisters boiling toil and trouble. (It's from MacBeth if you're scratching your heads...) What this is, is one of the greatest things Korea has bestowed upon the world.
Soon Doo Bu Jigae. What is it? Unless you're Korean, I'm pretty sure you have no idea. Also, if you were Korean, I doubt you've read this far into this
Joe's Shanghai, Chinatown, NYC 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well, we're back after a little hiatus this weekend, and we'll be covering some great cheap food in the heart of New York City's sprawling Chinatown
.
Ahhh...Chinatown, where else in overpriced New York City can you get CHEAP and incredibly good, authentic food for just a few dollars. If you're ever hungry and a bit short on money, take a ride down to Chinatown, and be prepared for great eats.

Mmmmmm... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We like food. We especially like eating it. We realize that there's alot of good food out there that people aren't willing to try, or simply don't know about, and we thought it'd be good practice to introduce people to a new variety of culinary treats. We'll be covering the whole spectrum from your standard fare foods, to ethnic treats, to hole in the wall one of a kind offerings.
So if you're
Banchan - The Side Dishes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Every dinner at any restaurant always starts with the same excruciating ritual. Flipping through the menu, trying to decide what to eat. You're constantly balancing what you can afford with what you want. If you love food like I do, this can be a very long and hungry process. After you finally decide on what to eat, you have to start the long wait for your appetizers or food to come out of the
First Stop: Korea 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We thought we'd start off the blog by giving you the info on a great ethnic food culture that's a mystery to most people in this country. There's a big soft spot on our palettes when it comes to Korea
n food. Most people think of Korean food involving mostly Kimchi(a fermented cabbage), but there's so much more than that!
Korean food is dominated by a combination of rice, vegetables, and meat Read more:First

Joe's Shanghai - Pork and Salted Vegetables Noodle Soup 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Usually two things come to mind when anyone thinks of Chinese food. Rice and noodles. For today's entry, we're gonna talk about noodles. Noodle
s are cooked in a variety of ways in China, from stir fried, fried, boiled, to even being made an integral part of soups. Noodle soups are great and simple meals, especially on a cold winter's day.

Joe's Shanghai - Soup Dumplings 1970-01-01 00:59:59 When you enter Joe's Shanghai
in New York City(once you manage to get a seat that is), the first thing a waiter will ask you before you even look at the menu is whether you want to order these little beauties. What are they? Most people simply translate them as Soup Dumplings
. They appear as the first and second items on the menu as Pork Steamed Soup Dumplings. Its name in Chinese is xiao long
Fried Rice Cake 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Unlike the last two dishes, Fried
Rice cakes may seem somewhat odd and unfamiliar at first. It's not really normal rice and not really noodles, then what is it? Well it's made of glutinous rice (sticky rice), is somewhat chewy, and has a texture almost like the thick noodles used in the noodle soups at Joe's Shanghai. The rice is grounded and turned into a paste. The paste is shaped and cut up
Joe's Shanghai - Szechuan Beef Tendon Noodle Soup 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Whenever I'm craving a good noodle soup from Joe's Shanghai
I can always turn to this, Szechuan Beef Tendon Noodle
Soup. It contains the same thick noodles used in most of the noodle soups served at Joe's Shanghai. There are also some greens, but what makes this dish is the very tender beef tendon. The marinated beef tendon is so tender, it will fall apart in your mouth once you bite into it. No
Where do I find Dolsot Bibimbap?? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is response to a comment that was recently posted, as to where they can find some good Dolsot Bibimbap.
Well if you're in NYC, you're in luck. There are plenty of places for you to go.
So you just finished a great night out in the city clubbing, bar hopping, or just strolling around times square and your starving and youre craving some good Korean food. Here are some places that have good
Mmmmm...Dim Sum.... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chinese food is definitely one of the most popular cuisines around, yet it's so diverse because of the vast regional differences in China that most people have a very limited exposure to it. We thought we'd give everyone a quick overview on one of the more popular dining experiences in Chinese culture, which is Dim Sum
. Surprisingly, it's a word that thrown around very often, yet most people
Dim Sum - Siu Mai and Har Gow 2007-03-08 08:23:00 Ok...It's been a bit too long since we last posted, but we're back, and with plenty of food. Going back to our Dim Sum
series, we're gonna talk about what are probably the two most popular dishes that most people order.
That yummy little treat up there is called Shu Mai (or shao mai in Mandarin). Probably the most often ordered dish at any dim sum, these are basically small pork dumplings
Dim Sum - Cheong Fun and Bean Curd Skin Rolls 2007-03-09 07:47:00 More goodies from Chinese Dim Sum
. This is Shrimp Cheong Fun, another often ordered dish. What is it? You ever get those really broad noodles often called Chow Fun on most Chinese restaurant menus? Well its the same noodles, except it's left intact as one big sheet. The noodles are made from rice, and the whole thing is steamed, making it very soft to the touch, very pure in taste. The noodle Read more:Rolls
Dim Sum - Pai Gwat and Cha Siu Bao 2007-03-12 04:05:00 Droooool...
Ok maybe we need a bib for this one. The damned good dish above is called Pai Gwat in Cantonese, and it simply means pork ribs. It's a very simple dish. It's just pork spare ribs that have been chopped into really tiny bite size pieces, and then have been steamed with predominantly black beans and/or black bean sauce, and occasionally oil, salt, pepper, starch, onions, or Read more:Dim Sum
