Ssamjang Portobello and Arugula Salad

나는 퓨전 요리를 너무 좋아해. 나는 요리 할 때 자주 많은 다른 요리를 섞어. 싱가포르에서 자랄 때 많은 다른 요리를 먹었어. 싱가포르의 많은 국가 요리는 퓨전 요리이야. 그래서 퓨전 음식에 익숙해. 

요즘은 한국 혼혈인 남편 때문에 내 요리에 한국 식재료를 사용해. 쌈장은 보통 바베큐에 사용한데 나는 쌈장을 현대 샐러드에 사용했어. 양식 아루굴라 샐러드에 중국 울프베리와 일본 아지츠케 계란도 추가했어. 맛있는데 좋아! 
 
이 레시피의 또 다른 좋은 것이 샐러드는 빠르게 만들 수 있서 너무 좋아해.
 
======================
 
This is another interpretation, deconstructed and completely bastardised of course, of kbbq ssam. Ssamjang (transliteration of ssam-sauce) is typically used as a condiment to ssam, but I needed to finish up the tub of ssamjang, which was closing in on its expiry date...and so, I rejigged the ssamjang chicken salad i made a while ago, and substituted chicken with portobello, using ssamjang as the main seasoning for this Meatless Monday dinner. A salad base of fresh arugula lends peppery minty flavours, and the warm salad is finished with a sprinkle of fried garlic chips for fragrance and a mellow bite. Like the rendang-kimchi salad earlier this week, this comes together quickly, in under 30 minutes, and because it's carb-free, makes for a keto-friendly diet. Summer is here, and I would very much like to be able to fit into my swimwear without looking like a beached whale.


Ingredients (feeds 2):

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets, about 8 cups
12 large portobello mushrooms, sliced
150gm arugula leaves
1 cup edamame
3 tbsp-heaps of ssamjang
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 garlic, minced
salt
handful sesame seeds
handful garlic chips


Directions:

1) Toss cauliflower florets in about 2 tbsp olive oil and season lightly with salt, and toast at 220C for about 35-40 mins.

2) Fry minced garlic in 1 tbsp sesame oil on medium heat until garlic is slightly toasty, about 1 minute.
 
3) Add portobellos, fry until water released is almost cooked off, about 5 minutes. Add about 3tbsp ssamjang and about 1tbsp sesame oil and mix through.
 
4) Assembly time: set the ssamjang portobello and roasted cauliflower on top of a base of rocket leaves, interspersed with edamame and finished with a flurry of fried garlic chips and sesame seeds.

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and ...

The People vs Cheapo Food Bloggers and Bad English

This is a mini rant. Friends know that my one guilty indulgence is reading food blogs ("flogs"). ("guilty" because I read them at work...yes, my boss reads this flog too) And Singapore, despite its little size, has a very developed food blogging scene. A quick surf on the internet will prove that there is an inordinate number of flogs for a country as tiny as ours. I suppose it's really due to the connectivity of our island, its technologically savvy netizens and their insatiable appetite and love for food. But lately, I've noticed a worrying trend. There is a growing number of flogs that I've stopped reading entirely, simply because almost 90% of their posts are all based on invited tastings. Don't these cheapos ever pay for their meals anymore?!? I've always thought that the ( one of the primary ) purpose( s ) of writing a flog is to introduce to the good people of Singapore the various culinary treasures on our little island. An invited ...

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...
