Today's
Seattle Times Food & Wine section is almost poetic in its choice of themes. Bulgogi, Barbapapa, kumquats,
cookbooks, Yaksik, Japchae... it could be a foodie rap.
- Every chef should add some of these traditional Korean-American dishes to
their repertoire. Especially recommended: Bulgogi (Korean barbecue, yum), Yaksik (sweet rice with nuts and
jujubes), Japchae (clear noodles
stir-fried with vegetables) and Tteokguk (sliced rice pasta soup).
- Try the Barbapapa
from Seattle's Sambar, "almost like two drinks for
one price." It's a martini-like concoction of Hangar One Kaffir Lime vodka, Cointreau, lime juice and... rhubarb
sorbet. Phew. I was just wondering what to do with that rhubarb sorbet...
