Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich

I made Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich last week. It’s the same sandwich I was talking about in my last post. It’s just a simple sandwich of bulgogi and spicy Korean-Style slaw. You can add condiments or slices of cheese. But it’s totally unnecessary.

It was soooo good in its simplicity. The soft bun, juicy bulgogi, and the spicy – but creamy – slaw were so perfect together. My husband literally (and I really mean literally) could not talk while he was eating it. He was just emitting these weird sounds. I guess that’s what people call a foodgasm. 🙂

Creamy and Spicy Korean-Style Slaw

I was really in the mood for a fat sandwich a few days ago. But even with sandwiches, I need a little bit of Asian or Korean flair to it. So I decided to make some Korean-flavored slaw to add to the sandwich in lieu of lettuce. I usually make it mayo-free, because I’m not crazy about mayonnaise. I rarely ever eat it. In fact, I only ever eat it mixed with gochujang (with a very few exceptions). But I wanted something creamy and spicy for my sandwich.

I usually make it with napa cabbage, but you can substitute it with regular green cabbage or even bok choy. And I add a lot of cucumber slices for their crunch. This slaw is perfect for a meaty sandwich or just as a side dish for those end of the summer barbecues.

Takeout at Home: Mongolian Beef

When I was in elementary school, my uncle owned a popular Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles that catered to Americans. My family and I were there quite often and held most of our family celebrations at the restaurant. One of my favorite dishes was Mongolian Beef. It could have been THE favorite, considering I had the dish every time I was there. I even liked the green onions in the dish. And I generally hated green onions at the time.

Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’m more of a carb person. But I do crave sweet stuff occasionally. When I do, I usually make my favorite gluten-free blueberry-lemon muffins. But when I’m doing a detox or a cleanse, I need something a little different. And these date-sweetened, gluten-free blueberry muffins are my go-to “detox” snack. These are truly guilt-free, so moist, and so tasty.
