    Took a long time to pull this cook from the archives.... :whistle: . Actually, we had a lot of fun... :laugh: . Definately took two to make dinner happen..... ;) But truly, an awesome meal (which I would gladly pay $20 for so we don't have to do all this work!!!) :woohoo: :silly: :laugh: Honestly though...You can pay big dollars it seems, and in the end, it's a disappointment. :huh: I'll keep doing my thing here. ;)

    Faboulous meal Michelle!! Great pics and tutorial!! I absoulutely love Korean food. I just went to a cute little place in Scottsdale called the "Red Kimchi"
    and I had one of their signature dishes, Haemul jeongol which is a seafood type stew/casserole.
    What was your total prep and cook time on this? Looks very labor intensive.

    Michelle, that looks better than what we had for lunch that day at the Super H. Wow, what a great dinner!

    I bought those stone bowls and a BBQ stone grill that day at the Super H but haven't used them yet. I wasn't sure how to season, but now I am ready to do that.

    Thanks.

    LC, This is one of the best looking posts I've seen on the forum. Very tasty looking. A few questions: What kind of rice did you use, how did you make the kimchi and egg and do you clean the bowls with regular soap and water after they cool down. Thanks again for the post, very inspiring. J.

    Fishless....I used Jasmine rice....can't beat the aroma and flavor for sure. :) The way these bowls hold on to the heat, I am not surprised to hear your rice story! I'll have to give that a shot. ;)

    Smoke'n,
    Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully I answer all your questions....though not traditional in Korea, I used Jasmine rice.
    For the egg, it was just like an over easy egg, but break the yolk once the whites start to set.
    The kimchee is a bit more involved...As it is a fermented product. I cut the turnip and turnip greens, minced some garlic, salted and allow to set at room temp overnight, which leaches a lot of moisture out of the veg. (this can be done with Napa Cabbage, Bok Choy, Daikon Radish, etc...) Squeeze the moisture out the next day, and toss with a bit of fish sauce and coarse ground red peppers (from an Asian store.). Then put in a glass container, and add lid loosely. Allow it to sit in a cool dark place (basement, garage, etc) until fermentation begins, then refrigerate. Napa Kim Chee can be considered ready to eat in as little as 3 days....firmer veggies like turnip and such take about 3 weeks. If you are interested in this kind of pickling, look for books on 'Tsukemono' (Japanese pickling). Some pretty interesting things can be accomplished with the Japanese techniques. If you are truly interested, feel free to send me an email at littlechef@bubbatim.com, and I can provide some book titles for you.
    As far as washing the stone bowls, I treat them just like a cast iron skillet. No soap, just hot water and a scrubby.
    Hope this answered everything. ;)

    This is the pepper needed for KimChee.....
    (I don't know this web site...it's the first picture of a package I could find....)

    Thanks CWM! I have used them for soups as well. I guess they can be used for pretty much anything! They clean up in a snap!!

    Jon...I didn't really use a recipe...I have a couple Korean Cookbooks, and there are some bibimbap recipes on the Web. I just surfed, got ideas, then winged it. :blink: My best suggestion for a start would be google. If you would like some cookbook titles, feel free to send me an email. Thanks for the feedback!

    Rhino....Here is the link where we purchased....They are made of stone called Agalmatolite from Korea. (or so they say...lol) Awesome fun though, and super pleased with the quality. No cracks, no leaks.
