Eggs in tuna kimchi jigae for #BrunchWeek.

This post - Eggs in Hell (Poached Eggs and Kimchi) - is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. We have a great #BrunchWeek giveaway, scroll down to enter! H-E-double hockey sticks! This dish is for my spicy fiends; for lovers of heat; and for all the kimchi fans! Need something to wake you up? Serve this up and it'll have everyone jumpin'! Make sure you use aged kimchi because you want it funky and tangy for maximum flavor. And the tuna adds a ton of flavor and enhances the umami of the dish. Add eggs and you have brunch! I finished off the dish with some grated sharp cheddar by Cabot Cheese because I couldn't resist.

Kimchi Bloody Mary #Brunchweek

Kimchi Bloody Mary #BrunchWeek

Welcome to the fifth annual #BrunchWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. We are so excited to have you join us this year as we celebrate Brunch and prepare for Mother's Day. We have a great #BrunchWeek giveaway, scroll down to enter! This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. As with most cocktails, the origins of the Bloody Mary are not clear. Sometime in the early 1920's Fernand Petiot, a bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, claimed he invented the drink. Hemingway Bar at The Ritz Paris and New York's 21 Club both lay claims to the invention of the Bloody Mary as well. In the 1960's Petiot reaffirmed his claim to the creation of the Bloody Mary when he spoke to The New Yorker claiming he refined the cocktail while working at The St. Regis New York's King Cole Bar.

Perilla Pancakes

Originally published September 11, 2011. I thought I'd revive this recipe for Chuseok! Happy Chuseok! The cool fall weather is here to stay and school is in full swing. It is also the end of the season for kaenip (perilla) and the leaves are fading into a yellowish light green hue. The other weekend, I plucked the remaining leaves and decided to do a few experiments after speaking with my mom. She mentioned that the older leaves tend to be a less tender and a little tougher. Sometimes she steams a bunch of leaves and makes ssam (wraps) or chops them up and makes jun (pancakes) or jang dduk, a special recipe that my mom culled from her mother that sounded really hearty and quite simply, yummy. The recipe incorporates a spoonful of dwaen jang into the batter. (I know, dwaen jang!) I've never actually had the dish before or even heard of such a thing, but the combination of the pungent salty, nutty dwaen jang, and the strong peppery, minty kaenip sounded enticing. If you ...
