Yangnyeom gejang | Spicy Raw Crab Recipe

[paulpingminho]

[sharkface]

Wait ok yangnyeom gejang or ganjang gejang. The latter will be cheaper since I have a lot of the ingredients already. Worth noting I have not had either before. Much to think about. This is assuming the store still has relatively cheap crabs in stock though which they might not. But to my understanding this is a fall food? Unclear. Been a while since I had crab

I want to make yangnyeom gejang

The Official Bio of Timo Byun (Remastered)

Basic Info:

Name: Timo Byun

Homeland: The Coral Sea

Species: Cuttlefish mer

Birthday: 9th August

Age: 34

Height/length: 149cm

Dominant hand: Right

Family:

•Technically an orphan, but Silas is basically his dad at this point, and he sees Finn as a little brother

Preferences:

Hobbies: Carving, crafting jewellery

Likes: Hunting, cooking, music

Dislikes: Bad hunts, large crowds and loud noises, most people, Halloween, blot(?)

Favourite food: Gejang

Least favourite food: Snails

Appearance:

Timo has chin length dark pink and yellow hair, like this:

and his skin is pastel pink with yellow scales and fins. His eyes are heterochromatic. The right is pink, and the left is yellow. His lower half is that of a cuttlefish's mantle, including the fins. His teeth are very sharp, and the inside of his mouth contains several small tentacles that wriggle out whenever he eats. His body is littered with dark pink freckles, but they are especially abundant on his face.

Personality:

Timo is someone who appears weary and skittish, and it's easy to startle him. However, he's not a pushover. Despite his skittishness, Timo is difficult to scare or intimidate over all, and he's a leader at heart. He's very level-headed and often the voice of reason amongst Silas' staff, diffusing fights and generally keeping the peace.

He's very loving and kind with a heart of gold and wears his heart on his sleeve. He's that "down to earth leader that gives good advice" type of guy. He's easily excited about things he's interested in and will ramble about it.

Some Fun Facts/Extra Info:

•Timo has a very mixed heritage (cuttlefish can be found all over!), but he is Korean presenting/appearing

•Timo started working for Silas as a hunter part-time as a teen, then worked as Finn's babysitter for a number of years before becoming a hunter full-time

•Timo is very protective of Finn and thinks of him as a little brother

•He was around when Morrigan died

•He often leads hunts when Silas can't or is busy with a different one

•Timo has no magic

•He's very skilled with knives amd spears

•He has excellent control over his colour changing abilities

•Timo is transmasc, and he really struggled with his identity due to being brought up in a girl's orphanage

I wasn't happy with his og design and personality so I redid him!

Side Dishes in Korea

Why do we get served so many each meal? 

1. Background Information 

One of the most appealing things about eating out in Korea is the unlimited free refill on the side dishes, known as banchan. 

This practice is deeply rooted in Korean history and character as a nation 

2. Kimchi 

There are hundreds of different types of kimchi, but the signature cabbage banchan is offered at pretty much every restaurant. 

Koreans have for generations been storing vegetables in pots to ferment so that they will have food available for the winter. 

3. Common Banchans 

Other than kimchi, there are bean sprouts, cucumber vegetables, and sesame leaves pickled in soy sauce. 

Some of the more luxurious Korean restaurant sever egg rolls, tteokbooki, and ganjang gejang. 

4. Banchans At Restaurant 

Eating at a Korean restaurant is always an exercise in how to maneuver all the dishes to actually fit on the table. 

It is not uncommon to receive 3 or more different banchan dishes alongside the main course that you order. 

5. Homemade Banchans 

During a kimchi-preparation event called kimjang, a large amout of kimchi is laid out for all members of the family work on. 

This practice is less common these days, but parents still like to prepare kimchi and distribute it to their children as a show of affection. 

6. Why Are Banchan Unlimited? 

One reason is that white rice was much more expensive than kimchi and banchan during difficult times in the Korean economy. 

It was too expensive for restaurants to give refills of rice, but in order to make sure you were full, they offered you a second helping of banchan. 

7. How Is Banchan Served? 

In order to reduce operating costs, some restaurants have suggested limiting or removing the unlimited banchan options, which many Korean people weren’t happy about. 

To meet in the middle, many Korean restaurants these days have adopted a self-service system in which you can eat as much as you like, but you have to approach the food station and fill your own bowls.

Series masterlist part 2 >

1. The end

One minute, you’re chatting with Emika about her recent vacation to Seoul. It was freezing, she said, but the colors of Gyeongbokgung looked particularly vibrant underneath a thin blanket of snow, and Gwanghwamun was especially imposing towering over the silent white plaza. Knowing Emika though, you know she had one goal and one goal only: to eat her way around the city. She stuffed her face with gimbap and soondae, reveled in spicy tteokbokki and savory jjigae, and made a concerted effort to sample some of the dozens of different varieties of kimchi.

“You have to come with me next time,” she urges, “Seiji was such a drag.” You bite your tongue. It’s well-known that her fiance is a picky eater, so it’s no surprise to anyone (except Emika, apparently) that he wasn’t as enthusiastic about all the foods she wanted to try. “We should go in the summer next time! I want to sample all the different summer dishes!” Your mouth waters as you conjure up images of naengmyeon and gejang and you squeal in anticipation. The conversation drifts from Seoul, to food, to other developments in your lives, to Emika - the more social of the two of you by a long shot - updating you on your mutual friends.

“Wow, so Tsukishima got new job in Tokyo? Does that mean Natsumi is moving here with him too?”

“Wait, did I not tell you? They’re separated… I think they might be getting divorced soon.”

One minute, you’re lazily splayed out in a sunbeam on your couch, and the next minute you’re sitting bolt upright, eyes wide in shock.

“What? Oh my god. WHAT?! When?!”

Emika pauses to think. “I guess it’s been 3 or 4 months now, although the relationship has apparently been on the rocks for a long time.” She hesitates before continuing in a whisper, “He got a little too drunk at Tetsuya’s wedding a few months ago and spilled to me. I guess he’d been trying to work on their marriage for a while and then one day she just up and left. It was a huge shock to learn about what had been going on too… You only met her once, right?”

“I think so?”

“I met her a few times at parties and weddings and things like that. She seemed nice enough, but he confided that in private she was always putting him down, telling him he was selfish, clingy, incompetent, and how she didn’t want to bring him to her work parties because he’d just drag her down…”

“Seriously?! What the fuck!” You’re on your feet now. “Tsukishima’s not any of those things! He might be a sarcastic little shit, but that’s about it…”

That earns a dubious huff from Emika. “Hasn’t it been like 10 years since you’ve been close with him?”

You falter a little. Has it really been that long? When was the last time you even spoke to him? Probably at a party at Emika’s years ago actually. You hadn’t known about Natsumi at all until you met her briefly at a mutual friend’s wedding shortly after college, and at that point they were already engaged. You didn’t find out about their wedding until Yamaguchi posted about it on Instagram.

“That’s true…but I hear about him all the time from you and from our volleyball friends. I’m sure if everyone else is friends with him still then he’s just as nice as I remember.”

The line is quiet for a minute. “Hey, do you have his number by any chance? I feel like I should reach out.”

“Yea I do, but do not tell him I said anything about Natsumi!”

“Oh my god, Emika! I would never do that! I’ll just tell him you mentioned his new job to me.”

The conversation drifts again to Emika’s current office drama, though you’re only half paying attention.

She texts you right away after the two of you get off the phone. Here’s his number! Same one from hs

You type out and erase probably a dozen different texts. You and Tsukishima were close in middle and high school - the two of you and Yamaguchi were basically inseparable. You still talk to Yamaguchi pretty regularly, but you can count on one hand the number of times you’ve interacted with Tsukishima since graduation. It’s not like there was any big fight, at least, not that you remember. It’s more that you naturally grew apart, and being at different colleges didn't help. But this is a difficult time in his life and you want to be there for him. The fond memories of your friendship unearthed an odd sense of protectiveness you didn’t know you had.

You finally settle on something neutral. Hey Tsukishima! Long time no chat! I was just talking to Emika and heard you’re moving down here for a new job. Congrats! You second guess yourself as soon as you hit send. Is it too obvious? Does he even want to hear from you?

Pushing that thought away, you take a sip of wine and start washing vegetables for dinner. Maybe he’ll respond in a few hours.

Not even a minute later, the phone pings and you rush to dry your hands.

Tsukishima: Good to hear from you. Yes, I’m moving to Tokyo. They’re starting a youth paleontology program at the National Museum of Nature and Science and asked me to manage it

Just like Tsukishima, you’ve never changed your number. So you shouldn’t be surprised that he knows it’s you, but you’re touched all the same to still be saved in his contacts.

You: Oh wow, that sounds like a huge deal! What are you going to be doing mostly?

T: They want me to build the program from scratch, design the exhibits, set up activities, stuff like that

Y: Cool! Is it long-term or just for this project? Am I asking too many questions?

T: You are being kind of annoying 😩

T: Kidding. I’ll be there long-term. After setting up the program, they want me to manage the hiring and training, and then there are some other exhibits they want to build up alongside this one

Y: 🙄 🖕

Y: Well it sounds exciting! I hope you enjoy it! I’m sure you have friends and colleagues who are helping you already with the move and stuff, but a good friend of mine works at that museum. I’m sure he’d be happy to chat if you have any questions about it

T: Thanks. I’m still getting my bearings on the whole thing tbh, but I’d love to talk to him

Y: Ofc! I’m sure he’ll be ok with it, but let me just check with him before I give you his number

After a few minutes, you get the green light and send Tsukishima your friend’s number. Even if he doesn’t have any questions now, issues with museum administrators and other day-to-day things will surely crop up once he starts working there, so it won’t hurt to already have an acquaintance to show you the ropes.

A satisfied grin spreads across your face. The wine must be working quickly on your empty stomach because you feel downright giddy as you go back to making dinner.

[xuemk]

🦐

₊ ⊹ 🦐 do you eat seafood? what is your favorite seafood dish? ⊹ ₊

oh, this is a tough one. xue proceeds to draw a table resembling a tournament chart and labels all her favorite seafood dishes on each branch. for the next five minutes, the female is engrossed in making her favorite foods compete against each other before finally coming to a decision. "not sure if i'm pronouncing it right, ganjang gejang?" she asks in a strong chinese accent. "it's a korean crab dish. if you put rice into the crab's shell, add a little soy sauce and mix them together with the crab's egg, it'll be even more delicious!"

Timo hasn't had much development yet, but he's a sweet guy with a lot of respect for "Mr Silas". He's very skittish and easily frightened, but a skilled hunter whose "lights" come in handy during hunts. He's loyal to a fault and very hardworking and has an endless amount of patience. He often diffuses fights amongst staff, so Silas doesn't have to.

...........................................

A/N: Last one I swear! Timo's actually been around for a while, just am an obscure character in my drafts of Lamentations. And now he's been brought to life! (He's also my first trans character I hope he's ok)
