Title: Korean Soft Tofu stew
Post by: Marvey on December 19, 2012, 01:27:59 AM
This version actually has marinated beef in it. Finally got it right.

It's not right till I see some Barley tea.

I believe barley tea only goes with the North Korean beef tongue soup. (water + 2 slices of cow tonque + 5 noodles)

Lots of red pepper flake though. Joel would be proud.

They don't have soup in North Korea.  Water is too expensive.

We'll be there soon in California. Long live Comrade Jerry Moonbeam "I'm gonna tax the fuck out of you but not fix state expenditures because I'm beholden to public employees unions and I want to feed, house and educate illegals" Brown. Had to cut back on presents this year because of CA Amazon tax.

And while I'm on my rant. Why don't we just ban (as in banish to Yukon) losers / wierdos / freaks who carry briefcases to high school rather than assault weapons. As if banning assault weapons would actually prevent future occurrences of Columbine, Cho Seung-Hui, Adam Lanza, James Holmes, etc. Future losers will just use battle rifles or handguns. Stupid ass politicians. Feel like I'm living on Mars. Not the USA (or the "west") which I remember when I was a kid. Americans have just become a bunch of fucking pussies who want to avoid a core essence of the human condition: struggle, pain, death, suffering, or simply "shit happens"

I propose a high-tech solution much like the keyless entry system on my car:
This way everyone is happy. It would actually prevent a future Adam Lanza situation. And gun companies can make even more money selling new biometric keyed guns or conversion kits. Sick and tired of politicians putting together convoluted laws which don't work, but instead demonstrate / pander to masses that they actually "care."

Just a little bit less busy now (but still busy) so time to reflect on the results of the recent state elections. I'm surprised people are not enraged to the point where they want to bring pitchforks and torches to Sacramento. Seems most Californians are content to bend over and let government fuck them in the ass. Soon California will consist of rich people (who can easily afford taxation) and their serfs (state government employees). The California dream (when Raygun was a DEMOCRATIC governer) is over.

I wouldn't be surprised if CA schools have banned / discouraged reading of Animal Farm, Brave New World, or 1984.

Just replace Big Brother with Jerry Brown, Inner Party with California Democrats, and Outer Party with State Employees' Unions. BTW CA Republican = Democrat in the midwest.

Oh man, did u just go there in the Korean stew thread?  You should report yourself to yourself.  I'm so not into participating in this nonsensical 'dialogue' people are pretending to want to have right now.  I just saw a video of the DNC rolling a crippled James Brady out like a stage prop.  I fucking wanted to vomit.

Have we banned / banished John Hinkley junior yet?
We need to ban movies like Taxi Driver - gives people the wrong ideas.
We also need to ban the media - again, the media gives people the wrong ideas.


I know, why don't we just ban the existence of human beings?

I love big government!  I'm a moocher, I have no self respect I just want someone to wipe my ass for me!  That's why I just got an awesome new bidet attachment.  I'm going to write Big Government on it.

I'm sure that bidet was deemed medically necessary by your doctor and taxpayers furnished your wipe-free entitlement. That's how I scored one. Mine is the Beats by Dre model with the sub shaking upgrade.

Jude's got an unboxing thread on it, but hasn't released any impressions yet...

What happened to the term, "Melting Pot"?


Americans don't believe in Melting Pots anymore.  America is a fractured mosaic of disunity.  It's the culture of I'm different, special, and better than you so do wtf I say bitch or else you're a racist Nazi.  No unified culture of difference, beliefs, appreciation or respect.  Just differences.  We've deliberately yet unwittingly become the very thing Europe has been trying to escape since Napoleon when our founding fathers pretty much gifted it to us on a silver platter.  The oppressive governance of patronizing and sanctimonious emotionalism fueled by sound bites and drive-by analysis devoid of any valid or cogent logical philosophy.  Giant wall of noise that's broken without the means or will to fix it because people know they can milk the sacred cow without having to actually do a damned thing and will actually benefit by making it worse.

America has become nothing more than a giant internet forum fueled by trolls and shitty ads.  What a disgrace to greatest social experiment humanity has ever conceived.  FAIL.

What happens when you buy a bag of cookies that end up tasting terrible? Make ice cream sandwiches!

Just ate 'em. I took so long taking this damn picture that the ice cream got soft and was squeezed out of the sides. I was left with double decker dose of disgusting cookie.  facepalm

It's -20 degrees Celsius here, but I'm sweating. Made on a poor student's budget.

I presume the milk is for the heat.

Yep, ended up drinking about half a bag.  I put wayyyyy too much chili oil in the soup.

Don't you have a good tea? A strong green tea usually neutralizes a lot...

Post by: DJ DJ on January 24, 2013, 01:38:46 AM
Hmm, never actually thought of trying that before even after going to Chinese restaurants my whole life (note: I am a Chinese).  This is the tea I have, maybe next time I'll see if it works better than milk.

Milk is the best for neutralizing spice.

I used to work in a sushi restaurant and I always swore, still do by tea, white rice or chuka wakame... Fresh tamago nigiri also helps but for drinks I always go for tea.
Title: Re: Korean Soft Tofu stew
Post by: firev1 on January 24, 2013, 04:01:53 PM
Is there even anything remotely spicy in a Japanese restaurant? All there is is wasabi and that is a different kind of heat. Tea is a great degreasing drink and does not leave an aftertaste like milk does.
