Kimpa!

This time, I'd like to show you what I made yesterday. Yesterday, I wanted to cook by myself, but it was too late night to go to buy some ingredients. So I decided to cook Kimpa which is Korean famous food like Sushi in Japan. But the ingredients is totally different, because I just made a new versiton of Kimpa. (Actually, there were not the ingredients of Kimpa in my house.)

The upper one is the rice mixed sesame oil and salt and sesame. The bottom one are Tuna, eggs and kimchi.

First, you have to prepare a sheet of laver. Then you just spread the rice out on the laver.
After that, just put the ingredients, tuna and eggs and kimchi in a row.
And you roll up that with your hand. Then you cut them moderate size. Be careful when you cut using your knife.

That's it!! too easy! :) and the taste is also good!! my mother really liked this kimpa which I have cooked with my idea.


These are all I used for cooking this food. Actually, this is my first time to cook kimpa. But it was good, so I want to cook this frequently because it's so easy to cook and does not take so much time!
I cooked this kimpa in 30minutes even though I have never cooked this but just watched my mom cooking. You should try! I can do this, so can you! :)

My Favorite Snack.

This time, I'd like to introduce hotok in Korea. This food is my one of favorite food, it's like a snack. When I was small, my grandmother used to cook this for me. There are some honey syrup in Hotok. We can eat it only winter. It really tastes good when you are outside in winter. It is very hot so be careful when you eat hotok. It's like ice cream in summer. I really miss this food. I can't eat this food since I have come to Japan. There is nothing like hotok. The hotok which was made by my grandmother is the most delicious snack I have ever eaten. You can find this if you go to Korea during winter season. When I went to Korea this summer vacation, I could not eat because the wether was too hot to eat hotok. Recently, I found there was new kind of Hotok. The new one is called vegitable hotok. There are some vegitable in hotok so it is healthy too. I have never tried that one. So if I go to Korea this winter break, I will try it!

A flat-GYOUZA

This is what I ate almost everyday in Korea durng this summer break. When I got Korea, and call my mom to tell that we arrived Korea safely. Then she first said "Okay. And please bring the flat-gyoza home when you come back to Japan. I really miss the food. "

Yes, this gyouza is only in Tegu which is my hometown. So Tegu is famous for this flat-gyouza. It is called Napchak Mandu. "Mandu" is gyouza in Japanese, and "Napchak" means flat. When we eat this one, we usually put special sauce on the gyouza. Or as you can see the previous food in my blog, Toppoki, it is also good match with this flat-gyoza. Please try this one, if you come to Tegu. :) You can see this one easily in my hometown.

My sister, Areum, also like this food very much, we bought this food so much for my family. Maybe, the amount is almost two month we can eat this in Japan.haha Because after we come back to Japan, we have to wait for a year again to eat this food!

If you wanna try this one, please tell me. ;) I'll bring this to school after I cook this one in my house, or my mom does. haha :)
