I have a 250 gram beef brisket stored inside the freezer. We bought it last Sunday for 5,000 KRW ($5) to be cooked as “changjorim,” a korean meat side dish made with soy sauce, sugar and ginger. We forgot to buy ginger so I haven’t touched the meat until now. So this afternoon I went to the neighborhood grocery but their ginger all looked dry. I thought that instead of cooking changjorim, I’ll just cook the beef with the beef sinigang mix my mother brought when she visited us. So I bought a bunch of shigumchi (spinach- 1,400 KRW), tomato (300 KRW) and kaji (eggplant – 2 for 500 KRW). Minari (chinese watercress) is more appropriate for sinigang but it wasn’t available.
The nice thing about sinigang is that it’s so easy to cook. I just boiled the beef until tender. And added the beef sinigang mix plus all the vegetables (onion, tomato, eggplant, spinach, radish). It was good even if the spinach was a bit overcooked. I didn’t even wait for my husband to come home… so I ate alone and unfortunately, I ate about two cups of rice! Hay!

Quite interesting, It was hard to find the right ingredients while in S. korea. I was able to get some through my parents. My wife (ex now) loved it, added some green onions and used ox tail instead.

I’M ALSO ONE OF THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO COOK. GOOD THING I FIND THIS SINIGANG NA BEEF. aND ONLY NOW TO KNOW THAT IT’S GOOD TO ADD SPINACH OR MINARI IN SINIGGANG. I’LL TRY ALSO.
MY HUSBAND IS A GOOD COOK BUT I NEVER LEARN COZ I ONLY WANT TO EAT. NOW THAT WE HAVE KIDS IT’S HARD TO FEED THE KIDS WITH OUT VIANDS. SOMETIMES I ONLY ROLE THE RICE IN THE DRIED LAVER (KIM) NOW I REALIZE THAT IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW TO COOK FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN AND OFCOURSE EAT AND ENJOY THE DELICIOUS FOOD.
