Cooking is definitely a creative process. Whether you follow a recipe exactly as is, or whether you develop your own recipes, or whether you are somewhere in between, creativity is needed!
And what does Dr. Tae Yun Kim say about creativity? Here is a little gem:
“You can have whatever you can think. Because we have such great freedom to create, we must take responsibility to use our power constructively!” (Seven Steps to Inner Power, page 32)
Korean food is highly creative and its hard to get exact recipes. I have had these stuffed peppers in several restaurants, and usually they are dipped in egg and fried. I try to minimize my fried food intake, and I thought I would do some experimentation in re-creating this delicious and gluten-free dish.
First, I cut a few Jalapeno peppers in half, lengthwise, and baked them in the oven just enough to make them a little soft, at 350. This will probably take about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, I cleaned some leaks and cut them fine
I sautéed some hamburger meat (from grass-fed beef) with a liberal amount of garlic and chopped onions, and then added the leeks.
At this point you can add spinach if you like, or any other veggies, although, if you decide to add carrots and other “hard” vegetables, pre-cook them to make sure they are cooked.
Salt and pepper to your taste, and if you want to make sure you get the Asian flavor, put in some gluten-free soy sauce and/or gluten-free hot bean paste called “Goju-jang.” Go easy at first, until it’s hot enough to your liking.
Then, stuff the pre-cooked peppers, and heat them up in the oven.
Enjoy one of Dr. Tae Yun Kim‘s favorite dishes!
