Making a good omelette is all in the pan.
When we were in Mexico resort last year the chef was using a big round griddle and making perfect omelettes. He probably made hundreds every morning. Sigh guess I will have to make a whole bunch in order to get better :cheers:

I know what you’re talking about in Mexico, we saw the same method when we were there. That guy probably made thousands of omelettes and has it down to a science!

Back in New England, all the sous chefs used an omelette pan when we would get brunch. Quick easy and comes out perfect. :cheers:
 
Sunday Brunch. Everyone gets something special. Can you tell we are bored.

I am familiar with the small pan however not near as fun as using the griddle :cheers:

I haven't done this in awhile. Saw some flank steak at the local dystopian Wal-Mart and made the marinade from scratch... Korean Bulgogi. I have actually won BBQ contests with this recipe (but with beef ribs... Kalbi).

We probably will make a large batch of a Korean glass noodle dish known as Japchae... Maybe tomorrow night... Maybe the night after. The longer it sits in the maranade the better. What is awesome about this is it is a great way of turning a little over two pounds of steak into enough to feed six adults (teenagers for four of them ... Even worse...)

Due to my still broken arm, I supervised Skippy making bulgogi and chapchae this week! We splurged and used tenderloin and it was sooooo tender and delicious, the chapchae with a little leftover rice made a great breakfast the next few days,.

We also make a mean dejabulgogi (pork, hot!) if you ever want the recipe. Soooo easy.

We don't "do" Thanksgiving foods anymore at our house. The kids are going to their inlaws also, so why feed them the same stuff again? So either a day or two before TG or after we have what we call "Koreafeast" at home. Homemade banchans to include cabbage and oi kimchi, beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi with lettuce wraps, chapchae, rice, yaki mondu (made in egg roll fashion). Everyone pigs out and we all have had fun helping in the making.

My four teenaged kids are all adopted from South Korea, and I have been there twice. I love the food, and should make it more often than I do. It's easier now because I only have to drive 18 miles to the nearest Korean market rather than fifty like I used to in the Midwest.

How interesting I have never had Korean food or maybe I had and did know. We have a few Korean restaurants here in Jacksonville so I may try them when the social distancing has been uplifted :cheers:
 
If you like spicy, then try just about anything, if not, then limit yourself to the beef dishes like Kalbi and Bulgogi. The soups with beef, like my all time favorite Yukgaejang (육개장) is spicy though. It's very healthy stuff. Kimchi probably has the highest concentration of probiotics of any natural food known to man.
 
When I was pregnant with my son and slightly nauseated the only thing I wanted to eat was kimchi and rice. And beer tempted me, and I'm not a big beer drinker! I lost a few pounds and the doctor says "have half a beer" it might stimulate my appetite.

To this day my son's favorite food is kimchijigae (kimchi soup) and he can drink like a fish. Lucky for him he lives in Johns Creek Atlanta surrounded by some of the best Korean and other ethnic resturants & Vietnamese bakeries in the country.

There's gotta be something to this- What a mother to be craves influences the kid.

If you have the room get a dedicated griddle. About 90% of All food served at a restaurant is cooked on a griddle. Research as there are many griddles and all serve different wants and needs. Let me know if I can help :cheers:

I just dont think I have the room for a dedicated griddle and even if I can squeeze one in somewhere it wont fit in the outdoor kitchen I had built. I am going to have to use one of these. What do you recommend for the best one that I can put on top of the grill.

Katodude I really can't comment too much on a griddle addon for the grill. I tried on of these
and I was not very happy with it so I took it back.
Have you researched griddles, I know that they make several sizes and you may possibly be able to get a small one in your outdoor kitchen. I also had to be creative with my space, luckily my outdoor kitchen island is movable so I moved it outwards about 3 feet and replaced the sink with an 18inch sink. Not sure if this helps :cheers:
