Ingredients:
soy sauce
a jig of rice wine
sesame oil
black pepper
ginger, minced
garlic, minced scallions, chopped
water
sugar

1. Dissolve sugar in soy sauce over low heat. Slowly add small amounts of
water to dilute.
2. Dress meat with sesame oil and other dry goods.
3. Wait for the soy sauce to cool before adding over the meat.
4. Grill or broil until nicely done.

Korean Kalbi Jjim

1200 grams (2.65 lbs.) pork ribs
5 whole walnuts
10 whole jujubes
5 whole chestnuts
15 whole ginkgo nuts
1 egg
1/2 pear juice with pulp
4 tsp. rice wine
3 tsp. sugar
 Seasoned sauce:

8 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. chopped green onions
2 tsp. crushed sesame seed
2 tsp. sesame seed oil
a dash of pepper

1. Slice the Kalbi into pieces, drain the blood and trim the fat. Make
criss-cross slits on both sides of the Kalbi. Marinade Kalbi in the pear
juice, rice wine and sugar mixture for about one day.
2. Remove thin outer skin. Soak walnuts in warm water. Remove chestnuts from
husks and wash jujubes thoroughly.
3. Saute ginkgo nuts in oil until blue. While still hot wrap ginkgo nuts in
a paper towel and rub to remove skin.

garnish.
5. Prepare the seasoned paste by mixing the ingredients
6. Boil Kalbi in adequate amount of water for 15 minutes. When water boils
down to approximately 4 times the amount of the seasoned sauce, add the
seasoned sauce to the pot and simmer.
7. When 1/2 of the sauce has simmered, add walnuts, chestnuts and ginkgo
nuts. Close lid and continue to simmer.
8. Baste the Kalbi as you simmer.

Corn Sticks

Subject: corn stick recipe

Hi,

I have been looking for a recipe I had when I was younger from an Amy
Vanderbilt cookbook (I believe it was 1964 or there about).  It was a
wonderful corn stick recipe where you made a dough (not a batter) and rolled
it out, slicked the sticks about 1 in wide and 4 in long) and put it in a
pan with melted butter then baked them in the oven.  I remember that there
was also whole corn in it but that's all I can remember.  I sure hope you
can help.

Thanks
Kathy

Hello Kathy,

I could not find an Amy Vanderbilt recipe, but the below one seems similar.

Phaed

Butter Corn Sticks
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

    1/3 c  butter or margarine
  2 1/4 c  sifted flour
      4 ts baking powder
      2 tb sugar
      1 ts salt
    1/4 c  milk
      1 c  cream-style canned corn

Instructions

Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Sift the flour with the
baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir in milk and corn. Mix, then turn
out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly, then roll to about 1/2
inch in thickness. Cut into 1 inch strips. Lay each strip in the
melted butter, turning to coat each side. Bake in a 450F oven for
about 18 minutes or until crispy brown. Serve at once.

Hi Patti,

You can strain it though cheesecloth into gallon plastic jugs with caps. Refrigerate it or keep it in a cool place so that it won't go rancid. It's best to only re-use it once. When you re-use the oil, fry a handful of parsley or a raw potato in it first, before the food you intend to cook. This will help get rid of any off-taste or smell.
