My version of Daeji Galbi (Korean grilled pork ribs)

Ingredients:
8-10 Pork spare ribs, cut
Sesame seeds

Marinade (mix together; enough to coat ribs):

1. 1/2 cup soy sauce
2. 1 cup sesame oil
3. 5 tbsp sugar (more if you like your ribs sweeter)
4. 1/4 to 1/2 cup tobasco sauce (more if you like your ribs spicier. I also recommend chili flakes although in a lesser quantity, because chili flakes are much hotter than tobasco)
5. 1 and a half inch ginger root cut into pieces
6. 1 onion finely chopped
7. 5 cloves garlic minced

Directions:

1. Marinate ribs for atleast 40 minutes up to overnight.
2. I didn't have any coal for grilling and for this recipe, I don't recommend pan grilling, so I opted to bake the ribs instead. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds and bake the ribs in a baking or glass pan at 350F until pork ribs are cooked, crispy looking on the outside, and very soft and juicy in the inside. That will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.
3. Serve with rice! (You can also cut up some chili peppers and sprinkle on top if you like some extra spice.)

Enjoy!!!

Kimchi Fried Rice

I first encountered Kimchi Fried Rice at Kaya Restaurant. It's great with flavorful dishes because the spice in the rice can balance it out, and it's actually really easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 small bottle kimchi
2-3 cups of rice
2 eggs

Directions:
1. Heat some oil in a frying pan or a wok
2. Sautee some of the vegetables from the kimchi bottle
3. Add rice, mix together in pan
4. After a few minutes, pour in the remaining kimchi juice
5. Mix until it is not too wet
6. Crack the eggs onto the rice and mix until cooked together

Voila! :D
