Dynamic Busan: cooking up a storm!

on one of the weekends, the office of international affairs decided to give us some lessons on traditional korean food making. Both Anqi and my buddy came with us to the cooking lesson!

Firstly, the teacher demo-ed her version:

this is called Gujeolpan 구철판
 this dish consists of 9 different food assorted on a wooden plate with 9 divided sections in an octagon shape on the plate itself. There are (from the top middle, anti-clockwise) vegetables, egg yolk, beef, prawns, carrots, egg whites, mushroom, squid. In the middle is a stack of pancakes made of wheat flour, meant to wrap all the 9 ingredients in to eat together! 

The 2nd dish is called hwajeon 화전
this dish is a small sweet pancake, with leaves as the leaves of the flower petals, and red dates cut to make the flower shape! Sprinkle some sugar over the dish and its done. Very easy to make! delicious too!

ok. so heres our version!








it was delicious!
