- Hi everybody, how are you doing these days?

I heard that all the time so many interesting messages

because my recipes are shared by so many people like you!

Let's make maeun-gamja-jorim, spicy braised potato.

and I will use also onion and garlic, garlic.

I just cut it around 1/2 inch (about 1.3 cm) thick.

And onion, we need the onion around five ounce.

Can you imagine, this is exactly five ounce?

but sometimes like this exactly five ounce,

then I feel really, really happy, do you?

Gochugaru, hot pepper flakes, two tablespoons.

American potato especially Idaho potato is

When I came to America decades ago with my family

first place I lived in America was Missouri

I went to a grocery store, and I couldn't believe!

A huge bag of potatoes, Idaho potatoes was so cheap!

potato in Korea was expensive at the time.

Around that time I had to live on the budget.

"Instead of fish let's use dried anchovies."

Anchovies, dried anchovies are also fish, aren't they?

I make this with only one pound of potato

several potatoes, and I cut them into big chunks and dried anchovies,

like a handful of anchovies,  and I just boil it.

Sooner or later very delicious smells came out!

she's Korean, Korean family living right next door.

She just came to my house, "Oh my, what's this smell?

When I make this recipe all good memories come alive!

First when I came to America, everything was new to me,

and I used to go to Walmart and just  kept checking on each item.

I needed to translate what it is about, what it is used for.

One of my Chinese friends, she saw me a couple of times

while I was reading something in Walmart. She said,

I was always busy comparing price. "okay US dollar,

"okay how much is going to be, oh my so cheap!"

All the time, as a frugal housewife, ya know?

People like us, like home cooks, we are always frugal.

"no matter how much money I have in my pocket,"

I just use dried anchovies, ya know, several dried anchovies

and then make delicious side dish like that.

you can adjust very nicely to your budget

Anyway, today I talked too much but this side dish,

even though this is very simple and easy recipe,

it has a lot of, lot of stories and make me think.
