Korean Beef Skewers

….I made one of my father’s favorite Korean beef skewers. This recipe is my precious mother’s recipe. I remember how happy she was when she prepared my father’s favorite food. I felt very happy. Also when my mother invited guests at home, she made this dish often. At that time I used to make it pretty on the skewer as an assistant by her side. I think I was already interested in cooking from then on. My mother used flour batter instead of egg mixture. Dip each piece into the flour batter and pan fry them. This is a small tip! Anyway I liked eggs, so I didn’t seem to like it when I was young. But it soon became one of my favorite recipes from my mother. This dish doesn’t have the smell of egg and texture is chewy with flour batter. Have you ever tried this kind of dish?…. I strongly recommend this recipe to everyone. The flavors are rich and I guarantee you will get some compliments on it. Sharing it with my husband makes me think of my mother today.
