Okinawa

Okinawa,is probably my favorite asian restaurant in State College. It's located at 450 East College Ave. When you first walk in the door, pull hard like the sign says. The door sticks a bit. Once inside, your standing in the noodle shop, walk back a bit and there's a sushi bar and in very back is the Hunan Wok. Don't bother with Hunan it's typical American Chinese. My Favorite is the noodle bar and on that menu are two items that I can't get enough of. The Shredded Beef & Hot Pepper Noodle Soup and the Pork Buns are fan-flippin-tastic!!!!!!!! $6.95 for a bowl, the size of your noogin and three Pork Buns for $3.50!!!!! The Beef & Hot Pepper soup is seriously spicy!!! If you love hot foods like "I", eat this! I'm pretty sure they're Serrano peppers, seeds and all end up in the bowl and thank god! The noodles are a thick noodle, I'm pretty certain they are Udon. The beef is fried then simmered in it's broth I have no idea what the other dishes are like, I only get the soup and buns when I go there. I wouldn't get the pork though, a friend ate it and ended up with a stomach ache. But if you do make sure it looks fresh, if not take it back and make them give you something else. Don't let that keep you from going though, no restaurant is void of mistakes and the soup is worth getting!

for lunch last week? yeah last week.
i decided to whip up a little something. i grabbed some baby bok choy, carrots, scallions, serrano peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, stewing beef, rice, sirachi hot chilli sauce, rice wine vinegar, peanut oil, and soy sauce.
put them all into a magic hat with a tablespoon of tears from a puppy that was hit along the road and shook it onto a plate and look at this tasty pile of stir fried delight that just fell out!

Bibimbap

check it! bibimbap!
"... a popular Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice" or "mixed meal".
i stole that part from wikipedia. anyway i had it a bunch of times here in state college, pa. then one day i was looking at my vegetables and they whispered to me all forlorn like and said: julienne us, and stir fry us up in savory oils and vinegar and sesame oil and soy sauce and add hot pepper paste in liberal amounts. and to my surprise the carrots cried out "add the ground beef from the shelf above us with the same treatment"! and to my surprise the spinach asked that an egg of all things be fried and placed on top, go figure, and so i did, placing everything onto a bed of fluffy rice.
