What I Cooked: 3/20/17 Koreastyle

March 22, 2017 by Dawn van Hoegaerden

We love Asian food in our house.  Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese are all on the menu.  I don't have that  much experience cooking Korean food. So lucky me that so many Korean products are finding a home on store shelves.  I have to give credit to my daughter for spotting this little package at Trader Joe's and convincing me to give it a try.  

Trader Joe's has another hit on its hands.

One of our favorite sides is green beans and mushrooms in a soy-butter sauce.  You don't need a recipe. I just eyeball it.  Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet.  Add 8 ounces of cremini mushrooms and cook until browned and mushrooms release their water.  Toss in cooked haricots verts (You can use any green bean, but this work best for me.) and coat with butter. Add about 1/4 cup of soy sauce.  I use low sodium because there's already salt from the butter.  Toss it all around until the soy sauce reduces a bit and clings to the beans.  Taste a bean and see what you think.  Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper to taste.  

Add some steamed jasmine rice and you've got dinner. I like to serve the bool yogi with a dollop of gochuchang and kimchee on the side.
