Korean Hot Pot

February 24, 2024

"Delicious, heartwarming, and packed with flavor – Korean hot pot is a culinary experience like no other. Imagine a bubbling cauldron of savory broth, filled with an array of fresh vegetables, tender slices of meat, and fragrant aromatics. Each spoonful is a delightful mix of textures and tastes, creating a comforting and satisfying meal that warms you from the inside out.

To make a Korean hot pot, also known as "jeongol," you can follow these steps:

Ingredients:

- Assorted vegetables (such as napa cabbage, mushrooms, onions, and carrots)

- Tofu / Fish Cake

- Korean glass noodles (dangmyun)

- Your choice of protein (beef, pork, seafood, or tofu for a vegetarian option)

- Broth (you can use either a store-bought Korean hot pot broth or make your own with anchovies, kelp, and other aromatics)

- Soy sauce

- Garlic

- Sesame oil

- Optionally, gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) for a spicy kick

Procedure:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Wash and chop the assorted vegetables, tofu, and protein into bite-sized pieces.

2. Soak the Korean glass noodles in warm water until they become soft, then drain and set aside.

3. In a large pot or Korean hot pot (jeongol pan), add the broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

4. Once the broth is simmering, add the vegetables, tofu, and protein into the pot, arranging them in an even layer.

5. Season the hot pot with soy sauce, minced garlic, and a drizzle of sesame oil for flavor.

6. If you like a spicy kick, you can add a spoonful of gochujang to the hot pot.

7. Cover the hot pot and let the ingredients cook until they are tender and fully cooked, usually around 10-15 minutes.

8. Once everything is cooked, add the softened Korean glass noodles to the hot pot and simmer for a few more minutes until the noodles are heated through.

9. Serve the Korean hot pot hot and enjoy it with a side of steamed rice and kimchi.

The rich and complex flavors of the broth, often infused with spices and umami-rich ingredients, create a symphony for your taste buds. The tender meats, such as thinly sliced beef or pork, add depth and richness to the dish. Meanwhile, the assortment of fresh vegetables, from crisp cabbage to earthy mushrooms, provide a delightful crunch and burst of natural sweetness.

What makes Korean hot pot truly special is the interactive nature of the meal. As the ingredients cook in the simmering broth, diners can customize their experience by adding their favorite components or dipping sauces.

It's a communal dining experience that brings friends and family together, creating cherished moments and lasting memories.

In addition to its deliciousness, Korean hot pot is also known for its nourishing and healthful qualities. Packed with nutrient-rich vegetables and lean proteins, it's a wholesome choice for those seeking a balanced and satisfying meal.

So, whether you're seeking comfort on a chilly day or craving a flavorful and interactive dining experience, Korean hot pot delivers on all fronts. It's a dish that delights the senses and brings people together, making it a beloved gem in Korean cuisine."

This comforting and flavorful Korean hot pot is perfect for sharing with family and friends,
especially during chilly days or gatherings. Enjoy your homemade jeongol!

Lagulo Falls 💔 (An Eye Opener Post)

February 23, 2024

Lagulo Falls 💔 (An Eye-Opener Post)

It is indeed disheartening to witness a once-beautiful natural wonder like Lagulo Falls in Barangay Lagulo, Nagcarlan, Laguna falls prey to neglect and environmental degradation. The sight of unkept surroundings littered with garbage, unclear and unclean water, and ugly illegal cottage constructions can evoke a sense of sadness and disappointment among visitors who yearn to experience the serenity and beauty of nature.

Lagulo Falls, which was once known for offering a quick escape from the summer heat, now stands as a stark reminder of how human actions can impact the environment. The deterioration of this once-lovely waterfall serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of conservation and responsible tourism practices to preserve our natural treasures for future generations.

Unlike other waterfalls that boast crystal-clear, strong cascading waters, Lagulo Falls may no longer exhibit the pristine beauty it once possessed. The water's clarity may have diminished, losing its emerald-clear allure due to pollution and human interference. The current state of Lagulo Falls serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of neglect and the urgent need for concerted efforts to restore and protect our natural ecosystems.

While it may be disheartening to witness Lagulo Falls in its current condition, there is still hope for revitalization and restoration. By raising awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and engaging in community-led conservation efforts, we can work together to revive Lagulo Falls and preserve its natural splendor for generations to come.

Let us not dwell on the sadness evoked by Lagulo Falls' current situation, but instead, let it serve as a call to action for environmental stewardship and a reminder of the fragility of our natural world. Together, we can work towards restoring Lagulo Falls to its former glory and ensure that it remains a cherished destination for all to enjoy, appreciate, and protect.

Went here on a Friday 16 FEB 2024 and walang tao yung lugar which best na pumunta is during weekdays.

Maliit lang yung area ng paliguan ng water falls. May cottage sa side na lalong nag padilim sa lugar. I think mga 8 to 10 feet yung drop ng waterfalls. Hindi ganun ka linaw yung tubig, may mga bahayan sa right side ng waterfalls. May mga basura and bula yung tubig ng falls and hindi din ganun kalakas yung agos ng tubig pababa sa falls.

I felt sadness 😔 nung nakita ko tong falls na ito, it was not well kept. Nakakalungkot na mukhang hindi sya na aalagaan kase malabo yung tubig, may mga basura, may mga bahayan sa paligid which is an eyesore for me. Nakakapanghinayang 😔 na ganito na yung kinahinatnan ng falls na ito. Ang sabe napapaliguan pa naman daw sya pero for me na naka punta na sa malilinaw na falls lungkot yung naramdaman ko para dito. Walang signage yung falls kaya you need to ask kung san yung eksaktong place nya. Very accessible naman yung trail papunta sa kanya it only takes 10 to 15mins para ma reach mo sya.

Sana ma rehabilitate yung falls na ito para mabuhay yung turismo sa Barangay. Unahin sanang linisin at pahalagan yung paligid ng falls. May bula yung tubig which is a sign na contaminated sya and madumi. Tanggalin yung cottage sa gilid ng falls at ipuwesto ito sa bandang malayo sa falls para maging ma aliwalas at maliwanag yung area ng waterfalls. Tanggalin yung ginawang parang CR dun na nakakadagdag sa eyesore ng lugar😔 and tanggalan din sya ng mga basura. Hindi din maganda yung extension ng bahay na sinakop na yung area ng daluyan ng tubig😔 sana mabasa ito ng Barangay na nakaka sakop sa kanya its actually a few steps away sa waterfalls. Lagyan nila ng entrance fee para may pang maintenance sa paligid ng falls.
