Bomi, Assistant Project Manager for the St. Louis Mosaic Project, shopped with us to get the ingredients for Dak-bokkeum-tang, a very popular dish in Korea. The name literally translates into: chicken stir-fry stew. Bomi shares, "I have a fond memory of enjoying this hot and spicy stew after a long hike. We would order it and eat it while we are still in the nature. Gochujang is a very versatile sauce that is unique to Korean cuisine, and the spicy taste is very savory and addicting! I have been living in the United States over 10 years now, and it is one of my mom's dishes I miss the most."
