As planned I consumed a lot of noodles over the summer. I also discovered another easy treat that goes perfectly with the noodles. It’s called 부침게 (buchimgae), or the Korean pan cake. I like the images above, because it’s so typical of my summer days- sesame leaves picked from my garden, Lucy slaving away in my kitchen and us eating together.
So the reason I figured this is the perfect time to talk about my summer domestic activities is because I think the best way to start a new season is to reflect on the past.
I am kidding, of course. I just can’t bring myself to think about my shameless gluttony over the Thanksgiving weekend, and I’m actually quite stressed about this upcoming few days, so this I figured, would be the perfect time for summer recap!
Like I said, I ate a lot of noodles.
This is soba with some veggies, and maybe pepper/sesame sauce?
Another soba with different stuff and a different buchimgae- really minimal effort with easy goodness. I really do prefer this self assembling method because everyone can adjust to their own liking.
Yet another one from another time that looks pretty much the same as the one before.
This time with sea weed and different noodles, and with different buchimgae!
Back to soba with fresh made kimchi. And at last, the result of Lucy’s chopping and my mixing on the very top images yielded-
Tada~ Oh wait..
Maybe it was this one.
I don’t think it was this one because it looks like this one is kimchi pancake. But who knows.
Since the days of the noodles and the Korean pancakes, I have discovered that I have a hypersensitivity to gluten. In a way, this is my postmortem tribute to a certain method of lazy cooking that I have exploited to the maximum. As my sensitivity is not as severe as it is for some people, I’m sure I will come back to this at some point, but for now, I have my memories. And for now, I am happily sending my summer staples to the realm in my heart where 12 or so year ago I have sent Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Korean Barbecue- I’ve had enough, I know it’s good, I don’t need it.
