Daniel and I are watching Man v. Food right now and this dude is taking down what looks like butt tearing, explosive diarrhea inducing chicken wings. Yowzas! Anyway, since I manage my own schedule in real estate, I decided to clear my whole Thursday and dedicate my time to cooking in the kitchen. We had some packages of Korean sliced beef in the fridge, so I decided to make some banchan (side dishes) for a homecooked Korean bbq dinner! On top of that, I bought a few handfuls of habanero peppers to make my own hot sauce. I am a hot sauce FIEND and I can go through bottles in days, so I figured I might as well try making my own hot sauce concoction.
The verdict? It's freaking the spiciest thing I think I've ever eaten---but DELICIOUS. Bring on them stomach cramps!
Up next---going to my girlfriends wedding this weekend in Laguna Beach. I'm a bridesmaid so we get to hang out all day tomorrow in Looney Beach---eat dinner at Rock n' Fish, then celebrate her nuptials on Saturday. I can't wait!!!
With that--I photobomb you with all my cooking photos from today.
Enjoy!

| Garlic, cilantro, onion, and habanero directly into a giant bowl with some secret juices and my immersion blender = #icansellthisstuff |
 |
| First banchan was a braised tofu with garlic, onions, shrimp paste, honey, and chicken stock |
 |
| After the stock began to simmer, I added the onions and a chopped serrano pepper. |
 |
| Tossed some sesame seeds after plating and ta da! |
 |
| Kimchi "pancake" with chopped kimchi, onions, garlic, flour, water and spices |
 |
| Pan fry, adding dollops of the mix and flattening to ensure a nice flat pancake! |
 |
| Cooked up to a crisp. Yummmmm. |
 |
| Glazed potatoes with onion, garlic, and a soy sauce honey mix |
 |
| Sear the potatoes first until light brown and then add in rest of the ingredients. |
 |
| Voila! |
