Home Made Seafood Soo Je Bi

In a mixing bowl add 4 cups of flour, 1 egg, and about 1 cup of water and knead it into dough. Add the water a little bit at a time and just bring it to a play dough consistency. Add a dash of pepper and about 1/2 TB of salt. After it's all kneaded, place it into the fridge until you need it later...this will make the dough more chewy and YUMMY. In a pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add about 10-15 dried anchovies (large) and a few big pieces of dashima. Let it boil for at least 30 minutes (if not LONGER). While the anchovy broth is boiling...chop up the vegetables. I actually didn't have any potatoes in my fridge today, but pretend it's just there! ;) Put chose of your sea food(I used shrimps, mussels and white fish tonight) into boiling broth. Reduce the heat to low....and then get your dough out and start pulling small pieces off and into the broth. When you're about halfway through with the dough, add the squash and then finish up the dough pieces and bring everything to a boil for about 5 minutes. The pieces of dough shouldn't be too big. Try to make them bite size... Then you are finally ready to serve! You can garnish with green onions. Or no...

Chicken Burger Tonight

Eddie Murphy might think home made burger is neighborhood kids laughing matter, but this chicken burger is off-the-hook! I paired with tomato, cucumber salad with grilled zucchini. Beauty of this burger is that I got the ground meat from local halal market. Freshly grounded, so no one has to wonder what's in the meat!!! Visit Super Hayat Market in Torrance, CA for "known" meat you can really enjoy. http://local.yahoo.com/info-20540564-super-hayat-market-torrance

Home Made Seafood Paella

Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat grape-seed oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until fat is rendered, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Set aside.

Sprinkle chicken sausage pieces. Add chicken sausage to bacon drippings in pot and cook over medium heat until brown, about 7 minutes per side. Using tongs, remove chicken sausage from pot.

Add chopped onions and garlic to pot and saut
 until beginning to brown, scraping up any browned bits, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice, roasted pimientos(I usually use olives) with juices and saffron. Add clam juice and chicken stock to pot and bring mixture to simmer. Remove from heat.

Pour rice mixture into 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange chicken sausage, shrimp and clams  in rice mixture. Sprinkle with chopped bacon and peas. Cover with foil.

Bake paella until chicken sausage is cooked through and clams open and rice is tender, about 45 minutes (discard any clams and mussels that do not open). Remove foil from baking dish. Let paella stand 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

짬뽕-Jjambbong

JjamBbong is a Korean version of Chinese spicy seafood noodles. It is as popular as JaJangMyun(blackbean paste noodles) in Korea. You need a lot of ingredients to make this, but it is not that difficult to make and does not take a long time. Do you like spicy seafood dishes? Then, you have to try these noodles someday. God... This was good!

Spicy Seafood Soup

Cold weather. Hot soup! This is my latest new creation. Broth is made with all fresh veggies: basil, thyme, cilantro, rosemary and lots of onions. Boil the veggie broth for at least an hour, add chopped tomatoes and cut sun-dried tomatoes into it. Add cut potatoes and carrots in 1 X 1 cube size into prepared veggie stock, and add sea salt or Kosher salt as you wish. I put mussel, shrimps, squid. Do not over cook these guys. It will get rubbery and chewy. I sprinkle white pepper and dried rosemary right before serving with chopped chives. This is good with pasta, bread or rice. My husband had 3 servings!!!
