Where can I find a GOOD palmier in SF? In my opinion, Bread and Cie (if you've been there) in SD has one of the best! Perfectly buttery, flaky, crispy and caramelized... Real butter is a must! Thanks in advance for your suggestions :)

Thanks so much for the translation, I appreciate it!
The vitamin C is definitely a big plus :)

Thanks for your response, Monica! I definitely wouldn't mind your mom's recipe if you have it.
Here's a link to a recipe that seems to use rice flour: http://blog.daum.net/kya921/4374060

Really, no responses?? I know there are some Korean cooks out there!
Recipe for Mu Mallaengi Muchim (무우말랭이무침) ??
I'm looking for a recipe for Korean, mu mallaengi muchim, a dried radish kimchi/banchan.
I've found a few recipes online (in English) and tried them, but the taste/color wasn't right. The ingredients included red pepper flakes, sesame oil, dried radish, garlic and soy sauce.
I'm looking for the type that's usually served with bossam. I would prefer a recipe that uses glutenous rice flour. I've been able to find recipes in Korean which show pictures using rice flour, and the final dishes look closer to what I'm looking for. Only problem is, I can't read Korean, and Google Translate doesn't translate well-enough.
Thanks ahead of time for your response! :)
Cooking in a Korean Motel w/ Only Boiling H20
Well, I already bought the tea kettle, but I may invest in a hot plate as well, since that would infinitely expand my cooing options! If I get a hot plate, I'll def go for the kimchi chigae--I think the kimchi I purchased at the store was there for a while and it's pretty damn sour...
I'm in Korea teaching English for a year and catching up on my cultural heritage. I was born in Korea, but was adopted and grew up in the US. So far, it's been great!...Other than not having a kitchen :(

is denjang chigae tofu and fermented soybean paste chigae?

The seaweed soup is a great idea--it's one of my favorites! Is doenjang fermented soybean paste? Also, I LOVE hiyayakko, but I haven't seen bonito flakes. Are they common here?

Laura, I definitely thought of the rice idea! My boyfriend tried it the other night and got conned into buying a whole meal to go. I guess the request for JUST rice got lost in translation.
How would you recommend steaming in the kettle? Use cheese clothe or something suspended over the water?
Cooking in a Korean Motel w/ Only Boiling H20
Just like it sounds...I'm stuck living in a motel in a very rural part of Korea. The only supplies I have are filtered hot water and a VERY mini-fridge. I plan to buy an electric tea kettle so I can heat the water to boiling, and hopefully have a few more options for cooking.
So far, I've been buying pre-cooked rice that is meant to be microwaved (Doesn't heat well under hot, un-boiled water) and I eat that with some pre-made panchan (kimchi, etc) and/or tuna mixed with mayo, salt and pepper, and roasted seaweed. I also found some lower-calorie Ramen to which I add dried seaweed and shitakes and quail egg.
I'm getting sick of Ramen and Rice/Tuna though! Any suggestions that only use boiling water would be much appreciated! Please keep in mind that I'm in rural Korea so lunch-meat (other than Spam), cheese, and bread and many other Western goods are either unavailable or over-priced...
Thanks ahead of time!
Pan Dulce w/ Guava paste at Panchitas Bakery in San Diego
Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this kind of pan dulce and can tell me the name (if there even is one!).
In the past, I've found it at the Panchitas on University Ave near Fairmont but haven't been able to find it here or at their other locations in a while. It's a slice from an apparently larger baked good, the width of a strudel, but looks like a coffee cake inside. It has a streusel topping and chunks of guava paste colored red and green, possibly with nuts also. It's sooo delicious and I'd love to find out the name so I can either find a recipe or request it from the bakery.
Thanks ahead of time for your response!
