비빔밥

Shinichi has been on a cooking quest recently, much to my enjoyment (I think he is sick of my uninspiring menu of Italian pastas and Indian curries). Last night was an uber-oishii bibinbap (sprouts, kimch'i, zenmai, spinach, daikon, sesame oil, an onsen egg, and loads of ground black sesame seeds on top of rice) and mozuku (seaweed) soup. I made iced barley tea to help cool us down.

Although we lamented the fact that we didn't have the sizzling stone bowls that make the rice all crunchy on the sides, I think it's still way too hot here to be sitting in front of a molten rock at mealtime.
