Ramen Noodles With Sweet And Spicy Korean Chili Sauce

Q: What do you get when you cross the Atlantic with the Titanic?
A: About halfway.

This Korean ramen noodle dish is truly addictive. Gochujang, a hot pepper paste used extensively as a flavoring in many Korean recipes, has its heat tempered in a purchased sweet and spicy condiment. A little honey adds additional sweetness.

To make these simple noodles more special, I added some color and texture to the plate with sliced radish and bok choy. I also couldn’t resist swishing on some additional gochujang condiment to glam up the plate.

Sliced radishes, sliced baby bok choy and additional gochujang condiment to serve, optional

Seemed logical to go to Korea for some music today. A ‘Korea Bandcamp’ search brought me to New Blue Death.

Band members with the names Adam Brennan, Ethan Waddell, Alberto Alba, Adam Hickey, Tony Clavelli, and Maggie Devlin seemed quite un-Korean, but I quickly learned that they are “A band from elsewhere living in Seoul.”

That’ll do.

New Blue Death has a new album out titled ‘It’s Never the Right Time’. It’s packed with an eclectic mix of indie tunes that are refreshing and fun.

“Silo” has a retro 80s girl/boy synth band vibe with a cool side of riffy guitar. The tempo change at 2:40 is awesome.

Check out New Blue Death on Facebook. You can buy their music on Bandcamp.

Cheers!
