Depends how much Gochujang you use. The sauce mix is similar to the marinade I use when making Bulgogi, though I also add some hot Korean chilli powder to that, Gochugaru.

I usually have it with Udon noodles, but M'Sahib had got in a few kilos of Japanese sweet potato and we needed to use some up. Gochujang paste should be fairly easy to find, I'm using this one:

Lotussss sell it

I find gochujang a bit sweet for my liking

One of my regular lunches, Cashew Chicken, the Chinese version rather than Thai.

^ Nice one Pag.

Those paper plates have lasted well

Interesting since a can of Heinz beans has 18 grams of sugar.

Gochujang is a great addition to a stew. We often add a bit to a wintry beep stew.

This is sweet, but not in the sickly sweet way that can take over some dishes in Korea (and much cooking in E/SE Asia):

Korean Spicy Pork Stir Fry (Jeyuk Bokkeum) - Chef Chris Cho

Mrs Toot does a roasted red chili, onion and garlic paste that is more to my liking, as you say adds depth and background heat and colour. She uses 2/3rds large dried and 1/3rd Thai finger chilis and roasts and cooks it all up with some oil. I keep it in the fridge and it lasts ages if you add a layer of oil on top in the jar

Faark. I've gone right of the idea now gonna stick to sex drugs and sausage rolls..and Lager.

Unless some other fuckers got a better suggestion? Way to much conflicting advice but I would say pags advice would be entirely credible

Welcome back PAG the best chef on the forum

Americans do not eat those beans, you clown. We also do not have a standardized set of foods we all eat like you lot seem to. You should have learned that in your travels here but you spent all your time in fucking Dennys. One of the worst chain restaurants in American history.

You can take a chav out of the council house, but you can not take the council house out of the chav.

You realise you are posting about, at most, three people, right?

Oh FFS. Chitty and Reg eat as many hamburgers as any American. Do try harder.

You would know since you have been there and all.

Speaking of burgers, this morning was time for our largish shop at Makro. There are several branches in Phuket, though M'Sahib prefers the one in Phuket Town. A bonus is that it's not too far from a decent eatery, Ali's BBQ in Kathu. Again, there are a couple of other branches of this place (Rawai and Chalong), though this is the best. Apparently owned by an Iranian family, they've got their act together in terms of product quality, customer service, and pricing.

Today I had a Greek salad, along with a burger. M'Sahib opted for a salmon steak and a side salad. Another bonus is that they have well kept Heineken draught.









Being Sunday, we opted for some desserts, M'Sahib going for some chocolate cake, my was a tub of vanilla ice cream with mango and cashew nuts.



3 pints of Heineken were enough for me, though I did think the small wine list deserved some consideration, again well priced.

Was the salmon dry? Otherwise looks like a great meal.

^^ Those wine prices are incredibly low for a resto over here

Apparently very moist. However, being a non meat eater, M'Sahib was suspicious of what was a gravy appearing sauce in the small bowl, so gave it a miss.

That's what I thought, hence my sharing it. Not all rip off central here.

Anyway, welcome back.

You seen the news about Onana off to Turkey?

Even I gave up on him and agreed with you in the end (my missus also said the same from the start).



Off to the beach in a minute and will get a spot of lunch.

Might even stick a pic up on here.
