If you didn’t catch the last post, here’s a quick recap: it’s now the second week of school, everything is English, but I have absolutely NO time to slack! Since we are smashing one full semester into 6 weeks of classes, there is ALWAYS a test to study for, and I also have one graduate level class that gives me homework EVERY night. In addition to my classes in Korea, I have one online class at UC- Psych 537- Broken Brains. I’m in love with the course already, but since it’s self paced I have to remember to be diligent in getting everything completed. Despite all the work I have ahead of me, I’m actually pretty excited to because the fourth of July is coming up. Though not a holiday in Korea, there is a surprise waiting for me this weekend. Well, you know what it’s time for, the new food for this week, and it was absolutely delicious. My Korean friend, Anna, took me to a restaurant in one of Korea’s main shopping districts, which just happened to be right across from my apartment (yes!).
Crusted Lemon chicken with cabbage, soup, rice and sesame seed sauce.
Though you’re thinking this looks similar to something from America, there were actually full slices of lemon inside each piece of chicken- it was SO good!
The Sesame Seed Sauce
You might be thinking that this looks like bird food… because that’s what I thought initially. However, it actually turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the meal. You pour soy sauce in the bowl, and grind it up with a little tool they give you. Pretty good stuff- I dipped my rice and chicken in the sauce, and the combination was very good.
Korean word for today: Yoja: Woman. Our waitress was a woman and I asked my friend what the word for woman was. The next post might be a bit delayed as I have the weekend plans and my homework to attend to. Enjoy your holiday!
