  As much as I enjoy being a carnivore; I also enjoy eating vegetarian or vegan on occasion.   This meal is great example.   “BBQ Tofu” on a bed of stir-fried vegetables with sweet potato glass noodles. This meal utilized a few of the products from DaesangAmerica .   Those products are indicated by a *. The tofu was pressed, cut and seasoned with *“Korean BBQ Kick” seasoning and griddled.   As it was cooking, I glazed it with * “Korean BBQ sauce and Marinade, spicy”. The vegetable/glass noodle mixture utilized, among other ingredients:   *Premium Sesame Oil”, *Gochujang and *Sweet Potato Glass noodles.   This meal was unplanned and utilized ingredients that were on hand.   Even being impromptu, it had great flavor and lots of textures. #LifelongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood #DaesangAmerica #Gochujang #SesameOil #SweetPotatoGlassNoodle #Tofu As always, your questions or comments are welcome.

  Korean Style BBQ Chicken Thighs One of the great things about BBQ is its versatility.   Sometimes you may want something spicy or you may want something saucy or even a combination of the two.   BBQ gives you those options and much more.   Most cultures have some form of BBQ or smoking or grilling.   There are lots of thoughts on what the difference is in these cooking methods.   I think it is somewhat universally agreed that grilling is done over a heat source.   The heat source can be charcoal, wood or even a gas burner like you will find on a someone’s patio gas grill.   Sometimes a grilled item will be basted with a sauce of some kind while it is cooking.   This type of cooking is classified as cooking with direct heat.   The item being grilled is directly over the heat source and is usually a quick cooking, naturally tender item. Smoking can be accomplished by using hot or cold smoke.   When hot smoking, the air/smoke temperature in the chamber where the meat is, is hot
