this past weekend (passed? no... past) i wanted to cook some korean food

so i julienned some carrots (by hand, which is why some are thick and some are thin), sliced some onions, diced green onions, and minced garlic... (can you guess what i'm making?)

in a separate bowl, i mixed soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, black pepper, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes... (have u guessed yet?)

i poured the marinade into a large tupperware, and added the garlic and some pureed apple. when the sugar dissolved, i added the vegetables and meat and let it sit in the fridge for an hour.

actually, i got impatient and let it sit for 45 minutes. next, it was cooked in a pan and extra green onions and sesame seeds were sprinkled on top. i also added black pepper for taste... =)

this, is a different story which i do not feel like explaining. why, you ask? because the korean market was out of many of the ingredients i wanted to make this. so i resorted to *gasp* a kit!
but i added vegetables to make myself feel better.

finished product. grr.
normally there would also be odeng... and i definitely would not use a kit!

forgot to include the measurements:
about 1 lb rib eye (sliced really thin)
1 small carrot (julienned)
1 small onion (chopped into slivers)
3-4 cloves of garlic (diced)
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 green onion (diced)
freshly ground black pepper
red pepper flakes
