kimchi Drink?????

I found this here .

Described as one of the drinks launched in Japan and failed to win the market. 

Banoffee

Banana and Toffee Gives you Banoffee

This is a great pie to make in Korea the ingredients a rather cheap and available all year round . You can easily make this pie for under 8000 won. It was invented in England in the 70s. Although the original recipe called for a pastry pie base I feel the biscuit base is just as tasty and is so much easier to make .

Banoffee is hugely popular in Europe so much so that Cadburys made a banoffee pie flavoured chocolate bar . Wonderful for a birthday party or just looking to impress your friends.

No cooking involved, no oven needed.

Ingredients

1 Can of condensed milk

5 bananas

2 packets of digestive biscuits

1 cup of butter 2 cups of cream

To Make.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add the unopened can of condensed milk to the water.

Reduce to a simmer .

Simmer for 3 hours ,always checking to see there is plenty of water.

Warning if the water boils dry the can will explode.

Smash the digestive biscuits and add melted butter.

Pack tightly into a pie tin. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Place a layer of chopped bananas on top of the biscuit layer.

Allow condensed milk to cool.

Spread condensed milk (toffee ) over bananas .

Whip cream (adding a drop of Tia Maria if you like )

Top the bananas and toffee with whipped cream.

Decorate with some chocolate shavings or chocolate syrup.

Watch your friends faces light up with joy as they eat.

Pork and Plum Sauce

Pork Tenderloin With Plum Sauce

Plum Sauce

1 garlic clove, minced fine
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced
1/3 small onion, minced
1/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cups water
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried chili
5 plums, pitted & chopped
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/3 tablespoon cornstarch



Thinking of having some friends round for dinner. Want to try
something other than pasta. Try this plum sauce it really is very
easy.  Now is the time to cook with plums they're now in season,   plentiful and
cheap. This is a wonderful fresh tangy sauce with a nice hint of Asia.
You could eat it with chicken, duck or tofu. To accompany it you may
like a nice crispy summer salad, maybe some fresh baby spinach.
An alternative is mashed potatoes and some steamed broccoli. This
really compliments it and is my personal favorite.

To start:

1 Place all 12 ingredients into a pot.
2 Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes.
3 Blend it in a blender.
4 Simmer again until thickened to your liking.

For Pork tenderloin

Take a nice pork tenderloin and season generously with pepper. Roast it
in a preheated oven at 200c for 20 minutes or until cooked to your
liking. Be careful not to over cook or it will be very dry.
Alternatively pan fry in a small amount of oil at a medium heat for
15-20 minutes. Make sure to check it's cooked through at the largest
part of loin.
Drizzle with plum sauce and  enjoy.
