I found this on elise.com. I wasn't tagged (haha) but i thought it'd be fun to add to my cooking blog. Here goes:
What is your first memory of baking/cooking?
Flouring fish fillets for my mom. Apparently i used to do this since I was about 3—stand on a chair at the kitchen counter with my mom, flour little pieces of fish for her to dip in egg and fry. She says I was so fast, she had a hard time keeping up. hehe. i still do this when i cook at home with mom.
Who had the most influence on your cooking?
No surprise here; my mom is the best Korean cook i know…she can turn any dish into a masterpiece. I learned how to do most of my cooking from her. She knows so much—especially the little tiny details that make all the difference in cooking. That’s what’s different about learning to cook from a real person, as opposed to a cookbook.
What would be your most valued or used kitchen gadgets?
The George. No contest. Never has cooking meat been easier than with my George Foreman.
Name some funny or weird food combinations/dishes you really like - and probably no one else!
I like spaghetti with popcorn, oh-jing-uh (dried squid) with orange juice, and eating garlic powder straight from the container.
What are eatables or dishes you simply don’t want to live without?
AH! so many. I could never live without pork...i just love pork. Sam gyup sal is my favorite food in the world, plus there’s dong-gas-e, and bacon, and porkchops, and ham. oh man. i love pig.
Weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
well, this isn’t weird to me, but i love roasted silk worm cocoons. bbun-dae-gi?
Have you ever suffered in the name of food?
ehhh i don’t know what this means. i’ve definitely eaten so much that i puked, if that’s the kind of suffering you’re talking about.
What do you consider your signature dish?
1) Jam thumbprint cookies, 2) Tortilla Española, and 3) Homemade Pizza
Best meal in a restaurant?
The restaurant i went to in Korea by my aunt’s house where they have nice thick slabs of sam gyup sal…we went there twice in a one-week period because i was so in love with the food there. omg drooooool this is making me so hungry.
Who's Next?
i tag everyone in the world
Just curious, since you are a student....my daughter will be leaving for freshman year of college. Which George Forman Grill do you recommend? I have never used one. The college she is attending allows electrial cooking appliances. I'd like to get her a really good one.
