Cooking instruction summary:

InstructionsMake dashi: Take a big wok or stockpot and fill with 2 qts water. Drop in the kombu. Bring it to a slow boil on medium-high heat. Once it starts boiling, bring it down to a medium, and time it for 15m. Remove the kombu and set aside 1 qt of the dashi (kombu broth) for the sauce. Leave the rest in the same pot.Reconstitute rice cakes: I usually buy the rice cakes (dduk) 2 days in advance. I want it to dry out a little so that I can rehydrate it with the konbu dashi water I just made. Take the reserved 1 qt of konbu dashi and drop the rice cake in piece by piece as you bring it to a slow boil on medium heat. After about 5-10m, the rice cake should become soft. Pull one out and youll be able to squeeze it fairly easily between your fingers but it should be springy. Then its time to pull them out on a baking pan or plate to let it stop cooking and dry off the excess water.Pan-fry the duck: To add a little texture to the dish and a slight roasted taste, take a large pan and drop it over a medium high heat. Once the pan is hot enough, drizzle some oil and drop the dduk in to the pan in a single layer. You want to get a nice light brown color and crust on the top and bottom of the dduk. Dont over crowd the pan or else theyll end up sticking to each other. Once you get a nice golden crust, remove from the pan and let it sit back on the baking sheet.Make sauce: Take the 1 qt of konbu dashi you made earlier and drop it into a clean pan. Turn the heat up to a medium high heat. Drop in the onion, scallion, red pepper flakes, red pepper paste, sugar, and garlic. Keep stirring the till the water starts to reduce down and create a thick bar-be-que sauce consistency.Once your sauce finally comes together, you can drop in your dduk and fish cake and drop the heat to a medium. Stir everything so the sauce coasts everything evenly. After about 2m, youre ready to serve. You can plate it in a big serving bowl and garnish with a bit of sesame seeds and green onions finely cut on the bias.

Food Joke

This is an excerpt from Dave Barry's book A Guide to Guys. On the differences between men and women... Let's say a guy named Roger is attracted to a woman named Elaine. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else. And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Elaine, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?" And then there is silence in the car. To Elaine, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: Geez, I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of. And Roger is thinking: Gosh. Six months. And Elaine is thinking: But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship, either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily toward ... I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person? And Roger is thinking: ... so that means it was... let's see... February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer's, which means ... lemme check the odometer ... Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here. And Elaine is thinking: He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment; maybe he has sensed -- even before I sensed it -- that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected. And Roger is thinking: And I'm gonna have them look at the transmission again. I don't care what those morons say, it's still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It's 87 degrees out, and this thing is shifting like a darn garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600. And Elaine is thinking: He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure. And Roger is thinking: They'll probably say it's only a 90-day warranty. That's exactly what they're gonna say, the scumballs. And Elaine is thinking: Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I'm sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy. And Roger is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I'll give them a darn warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their ... "Roger," Elaine says aloud. "What?" says Roger, startled. "Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. "Maybe I should never have ... Oh my, I feel so ..." "What?" says Roger. "I'm such a fool," Elaine sobs. "I mean, I know there's no knight. I really know that. It's silly. There's no knight, and there's no horse." "There's no horse?" says Roger. "You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Elaine says. "No!" says Roger, glad to finally know the correct answer. "It's just that ... It's that I ... I need some time," Elaine says. (There is a 15-second pause while Roger, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally.
