Although it seems like all we did was eat in Korea, we also did some sightseeing. We went in mid-November, and we were at the tail end of Fall. We were able to see beautiful colors of the leaves, with full autumn colors on display everywhere we went.
LA has been experiencing a weird heat wave lately. Hot and dry, with the temperature reaching 90 degrees... in November! I am so ready for fall, with hearty soups, rich casseroles, and hot noodle soups. Cold weather, where are you?
To me, nothing says love like oxtail soup. Oxtail soup is simple to make, does not require any special seasoning or difficult cooking technique, yet it takes a long time and dedication to make a great bowl. It is chicken soup for the soul, Korean style.
Nakzi is Korean for baby octopus. Korean people eat it grilled, stewed, even alive. Live octopus is a popular dish in Korea, but I don't know that it has caught on in the States yet.
