Kimchi jjigae means kimchi stew in Korean. It’s a dish made in Korean homes and restaurants to use up surplus kimchi. While the stew can be made mild, it’s meant to be as spicy as it is vibrant red. Thick slabs of firm tofu are gently bathed atop a stew infused with gochujang (Korean chili paste) and gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) then finished sliced scallions. Though not traditional, I like to garnish the stew with sesame oil and sesame seeds just before serving....

You simply shake or stir (more on that debate below!) with ice and pour the chilled alcohol into a glass. This is an excellent choice for a cocktail when you want the elegance of a martini, but not as much alcohol.

Most people I know haven’t even heard of them, which is really quite a shame. What are Oxtails? Think braised beef short ribs, but with even more flavor, and you’ll get a sense of why those of us who eat oxtail get dreamy-eyed when we think about them.

I know some kids make fun of school lunch, but honestly, there were a lot of great things to eat. And even kids who didn’t really like to each school lunch still loved the peanut butter bars.
