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 Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
