Coca-Cola Pulled Chicken Sandwich I didn't know that my sister was now a cook. She has introduced me to the world of New-American Eats. Here we have Jill showing off her Coca-Cola Pulled Chicken Sandwich. She chopped up onions and put them in a slow cooker with a whole chicken and then dumped a can of coca-cola that was mixed in a bottle of ketchup and let it slow cook in a crock pot for 3 hours. After it was done, she pulled the bones out of the chicken and shredded it with a fork and plopped it on some bread. It was tender and a tad sweet. The coke flavor was minimal, but I did get a whiff. I would have to say it was pretty darn good after adding a few veggies (see my take on the sandwich below with a bit of cucumber, sliced radish, and served on wheat bread). My sister did a good job with it- I think I'll have it for breakfast tomorrow. Here's the recipe: 1 chicken, cut up 1 1/2 lg. onions, sliced 10 to 12 oz. Coca Cola 10 to 12 oz. catsup Lay chicken in ...

  Vietnamese Rice burger The Temple of Jawns has a great recipe on-line for a Vietnamese Rice Burger. It looks scrumptious and it's totally homemade. I think that Lotteria, should talk to them about making a decent rice bun.      Here's the Temple of Jawns, Here is another one of my masterful ghetto foodstuff creations; the Pho Rice Burger. You get to have some Vietnamese flavor combined with Japanese food technology here, and that isn't a bad thing. Most stuff would probably be better with some Japanese food technology, to be honest. This ended up tasting honestly more like Pho than any actual Pho that is available in this country, and that is on one hand, sad, and on the other hand, pretty cool, I guess. I'm not gonna become the next oriental Ferran Adria anytime soon, but the overall flavor definitely says 'pho'.... Ok, so to reach the next level, you are going to need a lot of stuff. For those of you in Korea, none of this stuff isn't easy to find h...

This is a repost for my new friend Yossi who I met at a cooking class. He was a really nice guy and totally into food. So...here's the recipe for you. Dan Daktdoritang 닭도리탕 was the old name for this dish, but there has been a backlash against the name because it has Japanese origins. These days there is a movement to call it Dak-bokkeum 닭볶음. Regardless of the name, it is delicious and one of my favorite dishes to cook and to eat. Here is a recipe I found from  www.teachenglishinasia.net. Dan Korean dakdoritang is more or less like a chicken stew... it is extremely easy to make and will amaze your tastebuds!

  So what is Danbokki? It's my own Dukkbokki recipe that I like to make. There are quite a few differences from regular dukkbokki. First of all, I don't use corn syrup or the malt syrup that most places use. Also, my sauce uses ghee as oil. I also add onions and cabbage and trapezoidal ricecakes. Honestly, I tend to wing it with the sauce, basically I make a spicy caramel sauce and then use this stuff to baste the rice cake and fish noodles (o-deng). I like the cabbage because it lowers the spicy and it gives it a light crunch. Today, I wanted to give a more refined dukkbokki, so I added some green leaf thingies...Darn, I can't remember what the name is in Korean and yogurt. The greens added a bright springy flavor and the yogurt added a creamy cool. The grapes were just for fun. Say hi to Hubble! Danbokki! It's where it's at. RECIPE Ingredients: Gochujang (2 spoons) Ghee or butter (1 spoon) Sesame oil (2 splashes) Soy Sauce (1 splash) Sugar (half a palmful and to t...
