계란말이, Gyeranmari, Korean egg roll with seaweed (kim,김). If you don’t like seaweed, you can make this pretty egg roll with vegetables, meat or seafood. It’s delicious and pretty. Also, it tastes good at room temperature so makes a good boxed lunch food.

Ingredients:
3-4 eggs, blended well
1 1/2 sheets of kim (dried seaweed)
a little oil
salt and pepper

flat bottomed wok or frying pan
2 thin spatulas for turning
sushi rolling mat

Serve with ketchup (or a little go chu jang mixed with soy sauce)

If you’ve never made this, here’s a good video. She makes it look easy!

1) Heat up a non-stick frying pan or wok on low
2)Pour in a little of the eggs and swirl around to coat bottom
3) Let eggs partially cook and lay a sheet of kim on top. Use the two spatulas to gently fold over the top corner.
4) With the spatulas, move the omelette/seaweed up to the top of the frying pan and pour in a little more egg mixture in the vacated space at the bottom of the frying pan. Add a little more seaweed onto this bare egg.
5) Keep cooking on low and rolling the the omelette over the seaweed at the top. Roll, cook, roll, cook, and add the remaining egg to the bottom of the omelette until done.
6) There should be a little bit of raw-ish egg left to complete the egg roll. The raw egg will help the roll stick together.
7) Cook the completed roll on all sides until all sides just golden colored.
8) When done, remove from frying pan and roll up in a sushi rolling mat to help form its shape. Leave to rest for a few minutes. Then slice.
9) Enjoy with ketchup as the Koreans do or serve with any sauce you fancy. I like go chu jang or other spicy chili sauce. This morning we ate ours with go chu jang and a little soy sauce.

My mother from Oshkosh, Wisconsin makes delicious bulgogi with chicken or beef but I don’t eat it any more as I’m a veghead. Does this mean no more bulgogi in my life? Never! Here comes the trusty mushroom to save the day. Same marinade, different protein (ok, and texture). This wonderful vegetarian/vegan dish also solves the modern problem: Oh how can a paleohead/glutenfreehead and a veghead have a dinner party together? It also solves the problem of what else can you bring to a vegetarian bbq.

This is not a complicated dish and to make a full meal of it, serve with kim chi, sticky rice, fresh green lettuce and ssamjang paste (or ko chu jang in a pinch). Skip the rice if you like. Or go all out and make several side dishes such as bean sprouts, soup, radish kim chi, pickled cucumber, pancakes, etc. You do need about an hour for the mushrooms to marinate.

Ingredients for mushroom bulgogi
serves about 4
2 portobellos
8-10 fresh shiitakes
1/2 white onion
4 cloves garlic
1 small piece ginger (about a tsp worth)
4 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs sugar or honey
1 tbs roasted sesame oil
1/2 asian pear or bosc pear (or apple in a pinch)
1/2 to whole carrot, sliced
3-6 green onion, chopped
roasted sesame seeds
couple grinds of black pepper
olive oil for frying on the stove or tin foil for using on the grill

ssamjang sauce
1 tbs go chu jang*
2 tbs doen jang (Korean soy bean paste, similar to miso)*
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chopped onion
1 tsp chopped green onion
1 garlic clove, minced with salt
1/2 tsp sugar
roasted sesame seeds
splash of water if needed
*Buy these at a Korean or Asian market. Go chu jang (or Ko chu jang) is in a red container with a chili pepper on it and Doen jang is in a brown container usually.

1) Wash and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
2) Put 1/4 of the white onion, garlic, ginger and pear in a food processor and blitz. Add a sprinkle of water if necessary.
3) Add the sliced carrot and green onion to the mushrooms, along with the other 1/4 of white onion, sliced. Add the garlic/pear paste and mix.
4) Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Cover and set in the fridge for an hour to marinate.
5) After an hour, remove from the fridge and mix again. Heat up olive oil in a wok (or simply skip this and cook on the grill outside using a tray or sheet of tinfoil).
6) Pour the mushroom mixture and all the marinade into the hot wok and fry on high for about 15 minutes. Turn the heat down slightly as the juices start to evaporate so it doesn’t burn. Cook till all the soupy marinade has been absorbed and the mushrooms are cooked. About 20 minutes.
7) For the ssamjang sauce, simply mix everything together.

Serve with ssamjang paste and lettuce as a hand held wrap. Take a piece of green lettuce such as romaine, butter or gem lettuce and dab as much ssamjang as you like. Add some mushroom bulgogi (and sticky rice if you like), fold up and eat! I made some pickled spicy cucumber and sticky rice to go with our dinner tonight, but the more banchan, the more tasty fun.
