What is your 추운날 먹고싶은 음식 - Food for cold weather?

nathanK shared a link said Wed, Nov 19th 2014 at 12:29pm ET

안녕 메러분!

한국은 요새 날씨가 거의 영도에 가깝게 추워지는거같은데.. 제가 있는곳은 계속 20도 넘다가 요새 잠깐 10도 밑으로 내려갔다고 추워 죽는다고 난리들이네요
-_-

It's getting pretty cold in Korea about 32ish. And probably other places in US too.(I'm in FL, yet people find 55 freezing. It's truly amazing what people find to be cold ;)) Anyway, I wanted to provide an opportunity for people to share their favorite winter food or drink here! I'll be translating like a dog so all in meh community can enjoy.

어쨋든 날씨도 추워지고, VMP가입했는데 Meh에서는 쓰레기만 나오고... 또 옆구리까지 시리다면 추울때 먹는 맛있는 음식을 생각해보면서(생각하다가 또 먹고서) 미국의 메러분(A"meh"rican)들과 함께 나눠봐요. 메러분들이 가장 좋아하는 겨울 음식이나 마실것은 뭐가 있나요? 전 개인적으로 붕어빵에 한표! 겨울에 밖에 놔둬서 살짝 얼은 식혜도 끝내줌... 먹고싶네요.

http://c.ask.nate.com/imgs/qrsi.php/8850511/11801115/0/1/A/붕어빵.jpg

There are a few that I like from Korea. This one is called Boonguhpan(Bass-cake, in translation) It originated from Japan but it's special in different way. It's stuffed with sweetened red bean pasted with probably pancake mix for the breading. Super cheap and yummy, and it's an instant hand warmer when you are roaming in the street of Seoul.

What's your favorite winter food?

- @nathanK Not in San Diego. Extreme drought conditions, the rains rarely make it this far south, the high pressure keeps it away. It's horrible. We might get a tenth of an inch overnight. It's too bad there's no way to ship the snow to this part of the country, we're in bad need of it.

사슴 고기 스튜와 콘 브레드
Winter tradition for me is venison stew and cornbread.

But almost any stew or chili and buttered bread is good when I'm cold. I made shepherd's pie last night. Also homemade calzone/stromboli, but that's year-round for me.
내가 감기하지만 거의 모든 스튜 또는 칠리와 버터 빵이 좋다. 나는 지난 밤에 목자의 파이를했다. 또한 수제 사항 일 / 스트롬 볼��,하지만 나를 위해 연중의 (blame google and @0cengland for this translation.)

I love mushroom soup (not so much Minecraft) and I found this recipe one day and it is now in constant rotation during the winter months. The recipe can be found here and be sure to try and get as many different varieties of mushrooms as you can find in your local grocery store. I may have to make some this weekend, what with this whole Polar Vortex rearing it's ugly head again.

Ham and Split Pea Curry Soup

1 lb. dried split peas
2 quarts cold water
2 quarts chicken stock
1½ pounds ham bone
2 onions, thinly sliced
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
3 stalks celery, chopped,
3 carrots, chopped
1 potato, diced
1 Tbsp. curry powder

Pick through, wash, and rinse split peas until water runs clear.  In a large stock pot, cover peas with 2 quarts cold water and soak overnight.
Drain and rinse split peas.  Put peas back in stock pot, add chicken stock, ham bone, onions, salt, and pepper.  Cover, bring to boil and then reduce to simmer.  Simmer 1½ hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove ham bone, cut off meat, dice and return meat to soup.  Add celery, carrots, potatoes and curry powder.  Cook slowly, uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

Notes:
I used two small ham ends from Honeybaked Ham; total of 2 lbs.

- Seonjiguk is soup made with seonji and vegetables. Blanched new cabbage and dried radish stems are boiled in clear broth from bones, to which seonji is later added in scoops. Green onions and chili powder are added. The soup is then brought to boil and served hot. Fresh seonji contains iron and other nutrients. 선지와 채소를 넣고 끓인 국을 선짓국이라고 한다. 뼈를 곤 맑은 국물에 풋배추 데친 것, 시래기 삶은 것 등을 넣고 끓이다가 큼직한 숟가락으로 선지를 떠 넣는다. 여기에 파, 고춧가루를 넣�� 푹 끓여 뜨거울 때 담아 낸다. 신선한 선지에는 철분을 비롯하여 여러 가지 영양분이 함유되어 있다. *Source: ET-house 능률 한영사전...Anyone wanna try out?

Chili, or potato soup. Pretty much any soup that starts with 'cream of' if it's homemade.

Growing up, my mom would always make donuts on snow days. I can't recall having them any other day, but coming in from sledding, red cheeked and cold, to a cup of hot chocolate and a fresh warm cinnamon sugar donut is an enduring childhood memory.

And here is tonight's dinner!

Pan-fried kimchi with crumbled bacon and sliced pork.

IT WAS SOOO SCRUMPTIOUS!
Alas, I now need to go out and get more kimchi...

- @curtise Wow, I'm glad you know the real Kimchi. Not some gourmet-fake one.

- @SIMBM I start by melting a bit of butter in the pan, then take out a piece of Chongga Poggi Kimchi (whole uncut cabbage) and use my kitchen shears to cut it up into the pan.
  I cover the pan and let it simmer on medium heat, turning the kimchi occasionally. I let a bunch of the juices and sauce from the kimchi bucket drip into the pan too for more flavour.
  After about ten minutes, I grab fresh real cooked bacon crumble that I buy from Costco (though you could substitute regular crispy bacon that you make yourself, or even bacon fat if that's all you have - I've even used duck fat once or twice).
  Cover again, stirring occasionally. After cooking for about another 5-15 minutes (depending on how tender the kimchi has become), I then add in the sliced meat. This time I used pork shoulder - I bought slices meant for hotpot. Sometimes I use sliced beef instead - sirloin, or eye round, or flank.
  At this point, stir frequently and let the meat cook in the kimchi juices. If the pan starts to dry out, add more sauce from the kimchi bucket, or cover the pan to preserve the moisture.
  Don't overcook the meat - I usually let beef cook about a minute, and pork about 4 or 5.
  Turn off the heat and let the dish sit a minute before serving.
  ENJOY!
  ps. leftovers are delicious served cold the next day!

- @curtise Where do you get your kimchi? Costco here has it, but not the whole leaf.

- @SIMBM I shop at my local Korean supermarket about once per month to pick up my kimchi and sliced meats. I live in a pretty multicultural city, so there are plenty of different ethnic supermarkets all over.
  My supermarket even has their own kimchi for sale, but I prefer the name brand which is made in Korea and is a bit more savoury.
