Amanda Takes Off...

I love the Korean figurine and the wedding ducks. I wish I had picked up some wedding ducks for my kids when I was in Korea. Do you know anyplace here that would have the Korean figurines or ducks?
Do you have a recipe for the spicy pork? What cut of meat did you use for it? I bought some meat from Hmart but it was almost like bacon, very fatty.

HMart near us carries the geese, as well as any other Korean style stores we've been to in this area.

Spicy pork recipe--I posted one Sept 6th of last year. Frankly, now my spicy pork recipe goes like this: some minced garlic, a chopped up cayenne or two, a huge dollop (or two or three) of red pepper paste, soy sauce, water, and a tiny bit of sesame oil--mix and marinate the meat. Cook along with whatever vegetables are in the fridge.

We buy pork belly. It's cut into long slabs, like thick pieces of bacon. It probably is fatty, but it's sooooooooo good.

The only problem? I'm used to cutting the meat into pieces like the photo because I usually cook it on the stove. When I do it on the table-top grill as shown, I need to be like a samgyupsal restaurant ajumma and cook the pieces as they came first, then cut them up post cooking. Otherwise it's too many little pieces to turn around.
