Cooking on 2 burners in a kitchen without an oven and the size of most small bathrooms, I had to adjust my normal routine. I used chopsticks to stir the noodles to keep them from sticking, two rice cooker spoons to toss the salad, and made “grilled cheese” sandwiches for a cheesy garlic bread substitute.
As we were eating, there were some obvious cultural differences that I learned:
1. I suck at eating spaghetti with metal chopsticks
2. My “slurping noodles ability” isn’t up to Korean par
3. It’s all about the sauce – I should’ve bought 2 jars of Prego! (side note- it took me about 15secs to think of the word... jar)
4. Salad dressing isn’t used modestly on salad- just like the sauce
5. Apparently kimchi and spaghetti is a new delicious creation- Mun Hyuk said to go to America and open a “Spaghetti Kimchi” restaurant… hmm… I don’t think so.
With what resources I had, I think it turned out ok because they said it was “mashisseoyo (delicious)” … next time I want something with more of a challenge!
