Easy Irish Soda Bread


White Soda Bread

Home from Home
This is so easy and basic .
There is no Yeast Involved
My second post on Soda bread

You need
4 cups all purpose white flour
1 level teaspoon salt
1 level teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups of buttermilk (you can use milk with lemon juice but you may need less depending on the consistency )
You cant get butter milk so I suggest you use milk with lemon juice instead this will mean you will have to vary home much you now use .



Pre heat oven to 475 f or 250 c
Sift dairy ingredients.
Make a well in the centre.
Pour in all the milk.
Mix
Dough should be softish not to wet
Put on floured surface

Pat the dough in a circle about 1 and half inches thick
Cut deep cross on the loaf
Bake for 15 min then turn down
To 400f 200c
For 30 min until cooked
Tap the bottom it will sound hollow
Cool on wire rack
I love to eat it with a big dollop
of butter but you can eat with jam . Or dip it in a morning fry beans and runny eggs are great.

My Kimchi Chigae


김치찌개




I have Posted about kimchi chi gae before http://macs-foodkorea.blogspot.com/2008/08/kimchi-chi-gae.html
Its my favorites.
So with my nice new pot I decided to make my own .
I used Pork belly
1 teaspoon of garlic
Shiitake mushroom
Green onion
2 cups of old kimchi
Tofu
1 Tablespoon of Gochujang (Korean chili paste)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang
A dash of sesame oil
A dash of soy sauce.
So I fried my pork belly in a little sesame oil with the garlic and mushrooms.
I added my kimchi. The gochujang is next a cup or two of water.the green onions . Bring to boil. and enjoy.

BULBOGI NOODLE SOUP


Here is a nice soup . I believe the name is Bul Beck but I am not so sure .I would love to know the name anyone know.
Its a little sweet a very nice menu for someone not in Korea to long. This was also cheap 1300 for two . We ate this in new down town near the Come In the old Julianna's .
Most meat places will have it on the menu.

Austrila Day Pavlova


5 egg whites
1 cup of powder sugar
1 teaspoon of vinegar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Whip the eggs till stiff add the sugar slowly fold in the vinegar or cream of tartar.
Cook at 140 for an hour and and half Leave in the oven till fully cool.
This was a real mess for me more like marshmallow than pavlova.

Winter Wonderland

This morning was a fun time getting work. It iced all night and then early this morning
changed to snow. I had 3-4 inches of ice on my car and took me almost an hour to get
to work. It snowed until noon today. The dogs really enjoyed it when I let them out!
