Leftovers…Fried Rice…

Leftovers are different for everyone. For me, I always have vegetables I want to get rid of and cooked brown rice. So one meal I throw together often is Fried Rice. So, my kids love steak. Over the weekend we grilled steak and chicken. We had plenty of both left over. Because, I hate to waste, I constantly am trying to make new meals with whatever is left. I asked the kids what kind of Fried Rice they wanted; Steak, Chicken or Egg. They chose steak. I won’t eat steak as a main meal, but I will in fried rice, because it’s cut up small and cooked very well done. Almost crispy like beef jerky, which for me is tolerable…. Same goes for chicken. The smaller the cut, the crispier and dried out it is. To each their own, right? If they chose egg, It’s simply a protein addition to the dish.

Homemade Fried Rice

2 cups of cooked brown rice

1/2 green bell pepper – chopped

1/2 yellow bell pepper-chopped

1/2 medium Vidalia onion – chopped

6 large white mushrooms – sliced (not to small because they cook down)

2 medium carrots – chopped

2 cups (huge handful) of baby spinach

sunflower or light olive oil (3-4 tablespoons)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

black pepper to taste

1-2 cups of chopped leftover meat (steak, chicken, pork) or 2 large eggs

*If you have a wok, great. If not a large frying pan will work just fine. In your wok or pan, heat sunflower or light olive oil on high heat until it’s really hot.

*Place your chopped vegetables (not the spinach) in the wok, stir on high heat for approximately 1 min. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook your vegetables until al dante, not to mushy. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and black pepper for flavor. Add spinach, stir and allow to cook for 1 min.

*Place the cooked veggies in a colander to drain the water.

*Go back to your wok, turn the heat to medium high, add more oil (approximately 1-2 tablespoons). Let the oil get hot. Add your meat and cook to desired crisp. *If you are a true carnivore, and can’t stand well done meat skip this. You can add the meat at the very end so that it is warmed up, but not cooked anymore. It’s all about taste preference. If you are using Egg as your source of protein, add 2 whole eggs and chopped them up in the walk.

*Turn the heat down to Medium. Add your cooked brown rice. Stir meat or egg together for 1 min. Do not over cook. or the rice will stick to the pan.

*Turn the burner off, but keep your wok or pan on the burner. Add your cooked, drained veggies to the rice. This would be a good time to add your meat if you choose not to crisp it. Stir together for 1 min. Remove from the burner and cover.

*Let the Fried Rice sit covered for 5 min. so that the flavors can settle.

I like to cut up fresh fruit as a compliment of flavors. Saltiness of the rice with the sweetness of the fruit. Fried Rice and Fresh Fruit are great dishes to serve family style.

Homemade Fried Rice

Fresh Fruit

This is a very easy and healthy dish to make for dinner. The only labor intensive part, is the chopping. I actually chopped my vegetables beforehand, covered and placed them in the refrigerator. I had to get my son to swimming lessons. Therefore, when we got home afterwards, I could throw everything together and have dinner ready in under an hour. It’s healthy, because it’s all fresh ingredients. The only sodium is in the soy sauce which is minimal. I put the bottle of soy sauce on the table if anyone wanted extra. No one did. It was flavorful enough. The fat content is extremely low. The meat or egg, which adds flavor, and the amount is minimal. The oil is used basically for non stick purposes. Keep in mind brown rice is packed with iron as well as the spinach. If you’d like to add probiotics to this dish, add a scoop of kimchi. (If you haven’t already, check out my previous post and recipe for homemade kimchi) This is just an overall nutritious, well-rounded meal.

Do you create new meals with leftovers? What have you made? Have you made your own Fried Rice?

Leftovers….Fried Rice…. Leftovers are different for everyone. For me, I always have vegetables I want to get rid of and cooked brown rice.

Kenji, Alison and Jamie, Oh My!

Good morning. Our J. Kenji López-Alt gave us a fantastic new recipe this week for moo shu mushrooms (above), based on the pork version his parents were introduced to by the chef Joyce Chen, who died in 1994. It’s accompanied by instructions on how to make Mandarin pancakes for wrapping the moo shu, but no one’s going to object on a Wednesday if you don’t do that. As Kenji advises, you can always serve the dish as the strip-mall Chinese restaurants do, with warm flour tortillas. Either way, you’ll eat very well.

Alison Roman has new material as well: a fantastic caramelized shallot pasta that yields enough of the sauce to have leftovers you can refrigerate and use later to serve with fried eggs, or as a topping for roasted root vegetables, or as a base for crisp-cooked chicken thighs. Maybe that’s your dinner tonight?

Or perhaps you’re looking to improvise, as we often do on Wednesdays here, cooking what we call no-recipe recipes, off a narrative prompt. (It’s like art school, basically.) Like, say, what if you made glazed tofu, to serve over rice? Your glaze might be the barbecue sauce that’s in the door of your refrigerator, or a purpose-built one of ketchup, soy sauce, a little vinegar, some lashings of hot sauce. Mine is gochujang, lime juice, fish sauce and a little molasses, cooked with chopped garlic and ginger over medium-high heat until it’s bubbling.

Regardless, heat your oven to 400, and, if you’re not using the extra-firm variety of tofu, press it to release its liquid. Line a pan with foil, paint it with a little glaze, slice the tofu and place it on the foil, cover it with the glaze and bake until it’s crisp and shining, which’ll take around 20 minutes. I put that on cold lettuce leaves, shake some sesame seeds or furikake over the top, and serve with rice and kimchi.

Mega Meat BBQ Set at Soban K-Town Grill

Korean barbecue restaurants have sprouted all around the city. You can find these unlimited samgyupsal places on almost every corner of the metro nowadays, in line with the growing number of Korean tourists and the explosion of the Koreanovela craze. It’s actually getting harder to discern which ones are worth your time and money, with “Unli-Meat” promos focusing more on quantity than quality. Thankfully, there are still a few Korean restaurants that offer premium, high-quality imported meats together with an authentic dining experience that will leave everyone fully satisfied without having to cost too much.

Soban K-Town Grill is a relatively new restaurant that combines traditional Korean techniques and recipes with ingredients and flavors from all over the globe. We had been planning to try this place out for some time now and finally got the chance when they launched their new Mega Meat BBQ Set for 4 that comes with 1,200 grams of Premium Meat plus unlimited banchan side dishes and more. It may not be an unli-meat promo, but this is definitely more than enough to satisfy even our hungry tummies. Best of all, their premium imported meats have much better quality than any of the other eat-all-you-can Korean restaurants around.

The first Soban K-Town Grill outlet opened in 2016 at the Eastwood Mall and has now expanded to four other branches in SM North EDSA, Robinsons Place Manila, Alabang Town Center, and at the third level of Greenbelt 3 where The Hungry Kat tasted their newest and meatiest set yet.

Soban K-Town Grill is a collaboration between Happyfoods Group, the franchise owner of the popular Sariwon Korean Restaurant, and Mr. Sung Rah, Sariwon’s award-winning restaurateur from Seoul. While Sariwon offers a traditional fine dining experience, Soban K-Town brings a more casual and hip ambiance where diners can grill their samgyupsal and beef while enjoying K-Tacos, Kimchi Fries, or Korean burritos with friends and family.

Diners can start with a refreshing Mango Banana Shake (P105) or some of their juices like the Soban Iced Tea (P65) and Green Iced Tea (P65).

You can also add a little kick to your set by ordering the Black Dragon (P120), an edgy cocktail that has black tea infused with alcohol. They also have soju and Korean wines available if you want a more authentic Korean dining experience.

Soban K-Town Grill has several set menus and a la carte items to choose from depending on your preferences, but the newest and meatiest set you can find would be the Mega Meat BBQ Set for 4. This comes with a whooping 1,200 grams of premium meat that includes Fresh Woo Samgyup (beef), Marinated Woo Samgyup (beef), Fresh Samgyupsal (pork), Soy Garlic Samgyupsal (pork), Chili Bean Samgyupsal (pork) and Dak Ganjeong (Korean fried chicken).

It also comes with unlimited servings of white rice, soup and banchan (side dishes) good for 4 persons at only P2,000+ for the entire set. These side dishes include Pamuchim or salad made from fresh leeks and beans sprout tossed in Korean spices; Gyeran Mari, a traditional Korean egg roll omelet; Gamja Sarada or mashed potatoes; Kangkong Doenjang, a spicy version of the kangkong; and Meolchi Bokkeum or roasted peanuts with anchovies.

Of course, you can’t go to a Korean restaurant without having kimchi so at Soban K-Town Grill, you can eat as much kimchi as you want. The kimchi is Korea’s national dish and this spicy appetizer will give you a jolt of flavors before heading to your meaty main courses.

Diners also have the option of upgrading their white rice to unlimited Kimchi Fried Rice for only an additional P20 per person. I highly recommend getting this upgrade because the kimchi rice is like an entire meal in itself, packed with ingredients that will really complement the barbecued meats. You can have it in medium or hot variants so don’t worry because the medium version is not that spicy.

Remember, all those are just the starters, because the main attraction of the Mega Meat BBQ Set are the six types of meats that will be served on the table. Get ready to feast on 300 grams of Fresh Woo Samgyup (beef belly), 180 grams of Marinated Woo Samgyup, 180 grams of Fresh Samgyupsal (pork belly), 180 grams of Soy Garlic Samgyupsal, 180 grams of Chili Bean Samgyupsal, and 180 grams of Dak Ganjeong (fried chicken).

The Fresh Woo Samgyup or beef belly is the highlight of this set with its thin strips of meaty and fatty beef. Soban K-Town uses imported USDA Choice Beef for their grills so you will really taste the difference compared to the other Korean restaurants.

Place a few slices on the hot grill and your Woo Samgyup will be ready in just a few minutes. Diners can cook the meats themselves for a more interactive experience, but you can also just ask the servers to cook the meats for you if you don’t feel like cooking.

Soban K-Town has a very good exhaust system such that diners will not smell like they just came from a barbecue. This is really important since most people will have other places to go to after eating out at the mall.

Filipinos are pork lovers so the Samgyupsal is a very popular item. Soban K-Town also uses imported high-quality pork for their samgyupsal, unlike other barbecue restaurants. The thick pork cuts come with slices in the middle to make cooking easier. Aside from the regular Fresh Samgyupsal, the set also comes with Chili Bean Samgyupsal and the Soy Garlic Samgyupsal which is one of their bestsellers. Once grilled, the soy garlic samgyupsal forms a crusty caramelized outer skin that gives it a sweet and smokey flavor, similar actually to a tocino.

On the other hand, the Chili Bean Samgyupsal would be suited for those who like their meats spicy. Soban K-Town actually offers a 6-Flavor Samgyupsal Set on the menu and I am really curious to try that next time.

There’s one non-grill item on the Mega Meat BBQ Set and that is the Dak Ganjeong or boneless Korean fried chicken. The crispy fried chicken comes with a sweet glaze that will really make it popular with kids and adults alike. So if your group comes with children, they will be more than happy with this yummy fried chicken.

While the meats may not be refillable, these are more than enough for a hungry group of four persons, especially with the unlimited servings of banchan, rice, and soup. You can have your grilled meats placed inside the unlimited lettuce wraps, or just put them on top of your kimchi fried rice. Soban K-Town is a bit strict when it comes to their menu since a set that is good for 4 can only be availed by a group of four persons or less. If there are five or more persons in the group, the additional guests will have to order their own solo or group sets as well. I think this is fair since the banchan and other side dishes are all refillable for everyone. Anyway, the meats can be taken out if there are leftovers.

The Mega Meat BBQ Set for 4 is available for only a limited time until the end of the year at only P2000+ per set. That amounts to just P500+ per person, which is comparable to other unli-bbq restaurants that offer lower quality meats. If you haven’t tried Soban K-Town yet, this is the best opportunity to do so with this carnivorous set. So if it’s both quantity AND quality you are looking for like me, then the Mega Meat BBQ Set is the one for you. I am definitely coming back for more. Happy grilling!
