The Momofuku Cookbook's Kimchi Stew with Rice Cakes

@kjeweler i feel like a dry, hot pan would adequately toast them... here in Korea, they basically grill them over a coals. they're already cooked, per se, after you defrost them, you can toast them.

@mprize we're talking here about Korean dduk which look like this: http://www.maangchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sliced-rice-cake2.jpg

i loooooooove dduk, nothing beats the texture!

What Happens When You Try to Make Kimchi Quesadillas in Korea

Oh, you mean that cheddar-flavored block of cryo-vac'd fat? Yeah I don't have an issue with the cheese in this country at all.

Also, for those who don't know, "Korean cheese" if you can even call it that, is limited to plasticky orange slices we usually refer to as "American cheese." Interesting paradox there I think...

What Michael Pollan Has Been Up To Lately

Hmm I beg to differ, my meat-eating friend. Though I now live outside the United States, I could name you at least 10 of my friends whose families still operate family farms. Gradually, they are being put out of business due to buyouts by corporation farms. And when I say put out of business I mean they are put OUT of business; not being managed by a corporation.

And yes, they are evil. CAFO's? Are you kidding? Those aren't evil? Have you blatantly ignored the negative impact these cattle-cities have on the environment? Come on now.

Thankfully there's a burgeoning movement to return to the as you put it in quotes, "family farm." I assure you, they do exist.

Individuals can do much to educate those around them.
