Korean Spicy BBQ Pork (Pork bulgogi)

This is my first time making a korean BBQ bulgogi. One of my favorite korean dishes that I always order whenever we go to a korean restaurants. It's easier to make than I thought especially when you can just get a marinating sauce from a Korean supermarket.


What you need:
- Bulgogi sauce (to marinate the meat unless you want to make the sauce yourself)
- White onion
- 1lbs pork (I am using loin part)
- Green onion (optional)
- Sesame seed (optional)
- Mushroom (optional)


You start of by slicing the pork to thin layers (you can also buy the pre-sliced ones).

Then marinate them with the sauce for 1 - 8 hour.

Here's the sauce I am using.

 Chop onions and mushroom like in the picture below.

On high heat, put some vegetable oil or sesame oil and marinated pork. Let it sit until cooked through. If you like, add little sugar in.

Put in mushroom and onion, stir and let it cook on high heat until the pork started to burn on the side. Make sure not to cook onion too much coz it'll become saggy.

This is ready.

Here you can top with sesame seed and chopped green onion... and we are done. OMG YUM!

Support your app for iPhone5 under xcode 4.5

I have just finished updating Cirqulous for iPhone 5 screen resolution. Probably spent 90% of my time on the build configuration issues rather than the actual code changes.

With new Xcode 4.5, I kept getting error regarding armv6 architecture must be included. I then made sure it was there in the build settings. However, after searching around it turned out that xcode4.5 removed armv6 completely and only let you use armv7 and armv7s (for iPhone5?)


Now scratching my head, and spent a couple hours on the settings then I realized that my app was set to still support iOS3.1 but xcode4.5 now support iOS4.3 as minimum.  If you need to develop an app for iPhone 5, you have to use xcode4.5+ which means you can't have an app that can still be compatible back to iOS3.1?

Cirqulous is now available in App store!!

Today we released Cirqulous and Cirqulous plus in the app store. We had been working hard in the last 4 months to push this out the door. Thanks everyone who help shaping up the game.

Honey Walnut Shrimp

The next dish of today is a Honey Walnut Shrimp. Well I don't have all the ingredient though e.g. missing honey :) but it still taste good.

This is what I have"
- Peeled medium-size shrimp.
- Mayonnaise
- Sugar (better with honey)
- walnuts
- Brown sugar
- Egg
- Corn starch

You first wanna prepare walnuts by coating them with sugar. All you need is melting brow sugar on a pan.

Once it melt, put in the walnuts and coat them with the sugar. Let it cool down.

Next step is to prepare the shrimp. Coat the shrimps with egg, and coat them with corn starch.

Now put the shrimp into high heat deep fryer for 3 minutes.

In the mean time, we will prepare a sauce for the shrimp. Pour mayonnaise, a tiny bit of heavy cream, sugar, and tiny bit of salt and mix them altogether.

Now when the shrimps are ready, put them into the bowl of mixture and mix together. Remember the walnuts? Now it's time to dump them in to the bowl as well and mix them well.

Finished... OMG YUM!!!!

Garlic Pepper Pork

Okay, it's been a while that I haven't updated this blog. Been busy with  a few projects and other changes. Anyway, this dish is probably one of the easiest dish to make.

Here's what you'll need:
- Garlic (of course)
- Pepper (of course)
- sliced pork

- Dark soy sauce (optional)
- Oyster sauce (optional)
- Fish or soy sauce
- Sugar
- Pan
- Kitchen :)

To make this dish, first add garlic into the pan with medium heat. Let it sit until golden brown.

Dump all the pork and Oyster sauce. 

Now if you want the pork to be a bit darker, you can add dark soy sauce here (very tiny bit), and stir until cooked.

Add Pepper and stir a bit then we are done. OMG YUM!

Stir slowly until all the sugar melt.

Next, smash ginger/ dried shrimp/ lemon grass/ shallot together and put into the pot. You can also put shrimp paste into the mix as well. Dont' put too much though or it'll stink.
