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.

Spicy Roasted Garlic Hummus

I ate a ton of hummus when I in college. It was easy to make. I could dip almost anything in it for extra flavor. It was delicious. And I guess it added some much needed protein to my gummy bears/french fries/donuts diet, not that I cared much about protein at the time.

It still remains one of my favorite dips/spreads. And I have made many variations of it. I’ve made it with different types of beans, different stir-ins, and different types of flavoring sauces. But one of my favorites is the Asian-style hummus flavored with roasted garlic cloves and gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste).

Bibim Guksu (Korean Sweet and Spicy Cold Noodles)

I call this my lazy hot Sunday noodles. “Lazy” because it is very easy and quick to make. And “hot,” well, it’s a bit of a misnomer since the dish itself is cold. But I usually crave it during “hot” summer days. And “Sunday” because that’s when I usually make it.

Bibim Guksu is perfect for those hot summer days because it’s made with COLD noodles and mostly cold ingredients. And it’s very easy to make. It’s as easy as making a salad. Hence the “lazy.”
