"Mrs. Pyke Eats Korea" Teriyaki Salmon with Gim

As seen in the February 2019 edition of the Chosun Taekwondo Academy Newsletter
Teriyaki Salmon with Gim
Every Tuesday night is Teriyaki salmon and sticky rice at our house. This is one of Eleanor’s favorite dinners of the week. It is such a quick meal to prepare after coming home from the five o clock Youth Training class. I do admit to get this meal out in a timely fashion I’ve been known to cook in my Dobok! Another time saver is my Zojirushi Rice Cooker. Right before heading down to the Dojang I add some sushi rice and a small handful of forbidden black rice to the cooker. Press the button and forget about it! Rice is done! Adding a bit of the black rice turns the sushi rice a light purple that looks so cool.Along with the lovely soy glazed salmon and rice you must serve this with Gim. This is what puts this meal over the top. Gim is roasted nori that is seasoned with sesame oil and sea salt. You can buy it in large sheets or in small bite size squares. GimMe is the one I buy. It’s organic and is made in Korea. It comes in fun flavors to, Teriyaki, Wasabi and Sesame.So the way to eat your Salmon is to fill a piece of Gim with a dab of rice and a flake of salmon and pop it in your mouth.  A Umami explosion will occur, so be ready!Here’s the recipe.
1 ½ lbs Salmon filet (skinned) cut into 2-3 portions
1/3 cup soy sauce1/3 cup mirin1/3 cup water or sake1 Tbs sugarChopped scallion and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Steam up a pot of Sushi Rice1.          Mix together the soy, mirin ,water  and sugar.2.          Skin and portion the salmon filet or have the guys at the Bellevale Market do it for you.3.          Chop scallions for garnish4.          Coat a non stick pan with a tablespoon of a neutral oil over medium high heat.5.          Place salmon in pan top side down and sauté  till golden 4-5 minutes and turn over.6.          Now carefully pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and lower heat to medium.7.          Spoon the sauce over the salmon as it cooks until you have a syrupy teriyaki glaze coating the salmon. Remove from heat.8.          Serve over the sticky rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Cut open your pack of Gim and enjoy!

"Mrs. Pyke Eats Korea" Cold Sesame Noodles

As seen in the July 2018 edition of the Chosun Taekwondo Academy Newsletter 
Cold Sesame NoodlesHere is a really yummy recipe for cold sesame noodles. This dish is originally from China but you will see it served in various styles all over Asia. You will need to get a couple of special ingredients from an Asian market. The first is Chinese Sesame Paste, Zhi Ma Jiang. This is a dark roasted sesame butter with sesame oil and sugar. Also you will need fresh Chinese egg noodles. You can find them fresh or frozen at the market or in the Tofu section at the Shop Rite. Another note about this recipe, they must be made fresh and eaten immediately.
Otherwise they turn into a sticky clump!! When I make them for a pot luck I always keep the sesame sauce and noodles separate and then mix them at the last minute.
1# Chinese egg noodles, fresh or frozen( I have made this recipe with Soba noodles and in a pinch thin spaghetti and the results were lovely)2 TBS sesame oil (toasted)3 TBS Soy sauce2 TBS rice vinegar2 TBS Chinese sesame paste, Zhi Ma Jiang1 TBS smooth peanut butter1 TBS sugar1 TBS finely grated ginger root2 TSP minced garlic2 TSP chili garlic sauce, Sambal Oelek¼ cup chopped unsalted dry roasted peanutsEnglish cucumber peeled, seeded and cut into thin 2 inch sticks.
Step 1In a bowel whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter,sugar, ginger, garlic and chili garlic sauce.Step 2Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss and drain again and add a splash of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking together. This is where you should stop if you want to delay serving.Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Place them in a beautiful bowl and garnish with the cucumbers and peanuts.
Have wonderful summer and see you in the Dojang!!
