Moist, black, and tender. I made this for Father’s Day and it was an impressive success. I got a little bit carried away with the frosting and piped edges and curly letters and big hearts and then dotted it all over with whole rasberries and individual seeds. A little tacky a lot beyootiful. I used extra dark cocoa, but the rasberries made a world of difference in keeping it flavorful vs. dull. Oh, and I loved the frosting.

This popular dish can be found on the menu at virtually every Korean restaurant in Manhattan. The beef is topped with various accompaniments such as a few raw garlic slices, kimchi (assorted spicy pickles), and steamed white rice, then wrapped in lettuce and eaten with your hands.

“Oh, and I left out the cornstarch and sugar and replaced it with honey. (nervous giggle) And I only cooked 2 chicken breasts, making 2 servings. Somehow, the ratio of meat to vegetables still turned out quite acceptable. And I found that only a handful of cashews was necessary, not 1 full cup as is indicated in the original recipe. "

i usually eat this as a “soup”, but you can also put it over rice, or just use the cooked sweet potatoes as a side dish (saving the coconut milk/curry combo to cook rice in, or cook another curry).
