[ QUOTE ] Anyone know what the rock hen stuffed with glutinous rice and cooked in ginseng soup is called? [/ QUOTE ] Is that the same as this? [/ QUOTE ] Could be it. But from that description, the soup sounds a little different.

Dubu jigae (or Tofu jigae)  [/ QUOTE ] I made this last night from http://www.whats4eats.com/recipes/r_...ubujjigae.html this recipe. It was delicious!!! If you google "Korean tofu stew" there are tons of recipes. I didn't realize from this thread that the tofu used is like a liquid that just thickens the broth, and the meats in the stew are actual meats, not firm tofu. Next week I hope to make the long hard trek from the Mission up to Geary to try some restaurant-made stuff.

Re: korean food
[ QUOTE ]
Samgyetang is one of my favorite heartier soups - very restorative great if you have a cold. It's a small chicken (stuffed with sticky rice), cooked in a very gingery, garlicy, scallion broth. It's light tasting and the chicken is falling off the bone if prepared well.  [/ QUOTE ] Going against the grain, Korean cuisine is one of my least favorite. I'm not a fan of KimChee, which pretty much kills it there. Bulgogi, Kalbi and Bibimbap are all pretty good, though. The soup above is very tasty, too - except the first time I had it in Korea it was in the middle of summer, so about 95 degrees/95 percent humidity both outside and in the restaurant. Having a bowl of soup brought to the table at a rolling boil (see picture) didn't quite work out. When I had it during a winter trip, though, it was awesome.

Re: korean food
There are quite a bit of Korean places in Santa Clara, CA. Good stuff, nice and spicy. I usually get the Kalbi or Bulgoki, sometimes a tofu soup. Love the Kimchee that comes before the meal...

Another dish I love is called tang-su-yuk. It's the Korean version of sweet and sour chicken. Bad places will make it too sweet, oversauced, with overcooked chicken. Good ones will have a lightly sweet sauce over tender chicken.  Man, I want some now. [/ QUOTE ] Dude, I'm a white boy living in Seoul right now. I haven't had this in a few weeks...I know my lunch for tomorrow. So good.

The spicy broth soups in this thread look really awesome; I'm always looking for good asian soups and had no idea the Koreans had so much to contribute. I think I'll keep getting my Udon from the Japanese though. [/ QUOTE ] Korean udon is much more similar to Japanese ramen than udon.
