Cooking Day: Chicken Tortillas

At the Inje English Village, everyday Friday is cooking day or market day. I have yet to experience a market day, but I want to share the interesting Korean twists that exist with some foods that we make.

Today we made Chicken Tortillas. The basics were there: chicken and tortillas, but then it got a little interesting. We started with the tortilla and spread a spicy Korean chilli sauce on the surface. Next we added lettuce, cucumbers, apples, and chicken. The final touch? Korean mustard sauce. It wasn't bad, just interesting.

Koreans like to add unique things in non-traditional Korean food. In the past we made Cheese Canapes. When making the cheese canape, we started with a saltine, spread whipping cream, added a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Oh that's not all. We also added an apple slice, spread strawberry jam on top of that, and topped it with a chocolate chip. It was an explosion of different flavors and there are no words to describe it's unique taste. Koreans also add corn to almost all pizza, but I actually enjoy this quirk.
