Hot Dog lover?

We all know France is considered the mother of culinary art, but have you ever tried to find a decent Hot Dog in this country? Not long ago I found a pretty nice chicken dog. It's good enough to substitute, but it's NOT the real deal.

If you're in Paris, craving a Hot Dog, check out "Mosaïque" in Marais at 56 rue du Roi de Sicile (75004), definitely the best choice so far.

For the more ambitious ones check this one out, it's the cutest one I've ever seen!

Korean Bulgogi

The dinner is over, the guests seemed happy and the dishes are done ... and I'm stuffed!^^
As I said earlier we; it was Korean beef Bulgogi on the menu tonight, with side dishes like Marinated Turnip, Zucchini with grilled sesame grains and of course cabbage kimchi.
But you don't need to make plenty of side dishes to have Bulgogi, you can definitely do it more Westernized with maybe some rice and a salad or so.

Here's how it's made: (6 persons)
- 1 200 g sliced beef (nice and tender piece)

Marinade:
- 4 garlic cloves (squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons of leek (finely chopped)
- 1 tea spoon of black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of sesame oil (or corn oil)
- 6 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Mix the marinade and put the finely sliced beef in over night.
Next day; heat up some oil in a frying pan (or if you have a real bulgogi frying pan). Add some chopped yellow onion and finely sliced leek (if possible the green parts), add the meat in small portions to avoid it getting to wet and boiled instead of fried.

See... I told you it's easy... and 정말 맛있다!^^ (REALLY yummy!^^)
