[EASY DAILY FOOD 55] Soy Sauce Braised Beef and Soybean Paste Stew with Snails with RECIPE / Life Photography

I've been busy for several months.

I've been tired and occasionally felt down. I ate most of meals outside. I enjoyed eating out but I sometimes wanted to have more foods at home. We call 'home food' jip-bab in Korean. When I am tired or depressed, I want to eat some jip-bab. I think I'm able to share my style Korean's jip-bab more often. Mine will be more simple and frugal than foods from many restaurants I shared. I hope you enjoy my no-frills foods again. 

For dinner, I cooked Soybean Paste Stew with Snails, stir-fried kimchi and Jangjorim. Jangjorim is Soy Sauce Braised Beef. It will be my yummy side dish for weeks. Soybean paste stew with snails is my favorite soybean paste stew. I try to have soybean paste stew whenever I have rice. Kimchi and the stew is almost my everyday foods with rice. 

When I make the stew, I use about 10 to 15 snails. The stew is easy to make. Making delicious taste can be little hard at first. When the water with soybean paste is boiling, I put everything I want like radish, mushroom, spring onion and seafood grounds. I add a little bit salt to my taste then.

When it's boiling, lower the heat. I boil the stew more 5 to 10 minutes over low heat. Usually, people add only soybean paste but I add a little bit red pepper paste with Korean spicy chilis to make little spicy flavor. 

NOTE.

All Korean's grocery stores will sell the sauces, soybean pastes and red pepper paste.

To make Soy Sauce Braised Beef, Jangjorim, put the meat in cold water for 10 minutes.

When the water boils, put the meat. Let it boil about 5 minutes.

Put the meat in the pot and pour water. Add Korean spicy chilis, sugar, soy sauce, little black pepper, garlic, little wine, ginger powders.

Boil about an hour over medium-low heat.

INGREDIENT for JANGJORIM:

250ml soy sauce

1 l water

6~7 tablespoons sugar

5 tablespoons wine

ginger powders

black pepper

8 to 10 garlics

500g beef (eye of round)

I only have 3 to 4 side dishes when I have rice because I'm trying not to leave foods.
