We've finally made it to 300 episodes, so are celebrating with Bibimbap and then maybe some brown diamonds. We sing about rice and the Facts of Life (again) while learning about hot stone bowls and experiments in patience. Matthew's Bibimbap From Hungry Monkey, Matthew Amster-Burton, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2009 Serves 4 Time: 90 minutes, plus at least 2 hours marinating time Other popular toppings include carrots, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms and daikon, but try the simple version below first. And by all means try a vegetarian version, with tofu or without. The beef will be easier to slice if you freeze it for 30 to 60 minutes first. If you have access to a Japanese or Korean grocery, you'll find good-quality pre-sliced beef labeled for sukiyaki or bulgogi---a real timesaver. My favorite bowls for serving bibimbap (and many other rice and noodle dishes) are Crate and Barrel's inexpensive Bistro Bowls. For the bulgogi marinade: 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons finely grated Asian pear or Granny Smith apple 1 scallion, thinly sliced 1 medium clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 pound beef flank steak, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into very thin slices 8 ounces bean sprouts sesame oil 6 cups hot cooked medium-grain (Calrose) rice (from about 2 cups uncooked rice) 8 ounces napa cabbage kimchi (see note) 4 eggs peanut or vegetable oil gochujang (Korean hot sauce), thinned to pourable texture with rice wine vinegar or water (see note) Combine the soy sauce, sugar, pear, scallions, garlic, sesame seeds, oil and pepper in a bowl. Add the meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Put the meat and the marinade in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook just until no trace of pink remains in the meat. Set aside. Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Fry the eggs in a bit of peanut oil a large skillet. (A runny yolk is best here, because the heat of the rice will cook it.) Place 1-1/2 cups of rice in each bowl. Top each bowl with one quarter of the beef, bean sprouts and kimchi---arranging them reasonably artfully around the edge of the bowl---and place a fried egg in the middle. Serve immediately. Each diner should add gochujang to taste and stir everything together, including the egg. Eat with a spoon. Notes Gochujang is sold in Korean and other Asian groceries, and now often Western supermarkets as well, generally in a red plastic box. Kimchi is sold in jars in the refrigerated section of the supermarket, usually near the produce with the Asian noodles and tofu. The kind I call for is the most common variety and needs no prep before serving other than slicing it and putting it atop the bibimbap.Links:Cook Korean!: A Comic Book with RecipesEating Korea: Reports on a Culinary Renaissance Bee-Bim Bop!: Linda Sue Park, Ho Baek Lee Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bear with our vocal fry and upspeak as we discuss the king of casseroles, Enchiladas. We talk impregnating tortillas, our spin-off show "Cool Hunters" and the return of the dreaded bologna rollups. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com Book Larder Independent Bookstore Day Rick Bayless' Green Enchiladas Red Enchiladas STACKED GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS Serves 4 Time: 2 hours Special equipment: 4 rimmed soup plates (you could make this as a casserole by stacking the tortillas in a large baking dish, but you’d miss out on crunchy cheese, which would be a tragedy) The beans and green chile sauce (recipe follows) may be made in advance. Assemble and broil the enchiladas just before serving. COWBOY BEANS Makes about 4 cups Adapted from MEXICAN EVERYDAY by Rick Bayless with Deann Groen Bayless. Copyright (C) 2005 by Rick Bayless and Deann Groen Bayless. Used by permission of W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. This is more beans than you’ll need for the enchiladas; serve some on the side or save them for lunch. Pureed with a stick blender or food processor, these make fabulous bean dip. 4 slices bacon, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced Half a 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, not drained (preferably Muir Glen Fire-Roasted) 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, not drained 1 tablespoon minced canned pickled jalapeños, optional 2 tablespoons minced cilantro In a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring regularly, 4 minutes. Add the beans, bring to a simmer, and simmer uncovered 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the jalapeños (if using) and cilantro. Taste for salt. Beans should be a little soupy. GREEN CHILE SAUCE Makes about 4 cups Special equipment: Blender or food processor Anaheim chiles vary in heat. This sauce usually comes out fairly mild, but sometimes it’s more like medium-hot. For the guaranteed nonspicy variation, see the note below. 1-1/2 pounds fresh Anaheim chiles 12 ounces tomatillos, husked and rinsed 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt Ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water Roast the chiles on a grill or under a broiler until well-blackened. When cool, peel the chilies and slit them open to remove the core and seeds. Mince and set aside. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to the boil and add the tomatillos. Boil 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Drain and puree in a blender or food processor. Put the tomatillo puree in the empty saucepan with the chicken broth, Anaheims, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Add the cornstarch, stir and return to a simmer. Simmer an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 4 cups. Keep warm over lowest heat if you’re making the enchiladas now. MAKING THE ENCHILADAS Because these enchiladas are broiled, not baked, it’s vital to have the beans, sauce, and bowls hot when you assemble them. You’ll need four soup plates with rims. Unless you have a large oven, you’ll probably need to broil two plates at a time; don’t worry, the enchiladas will stay hot. I’ve made these as cheese enchiladas by simply omitting the chicken, and they were still great. 1/4 cup corn oil, lard or vegetable oil 12 corn tortillas 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great) 2 cups cowboy beans, hot 4 cups green chile sauce, hot 1 pound shredded monterey jack cheese 4 broiler-proof ceramic soup plates with rims Place an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat to 200 degrees. Place the bowls in the oven to warm them. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high. Working one at a time, fry each tortilla for 20 to 30 seconds on each side, until they’re just beginning to brown and stiffen. Hold each tortilla over the oil with tongs to drain, and place it on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Remove the bowls from the oven and set the oven to broil. Ladle ½ cup cowboy beans into each bowl. Top each with a tortilla, followed by ¼ cup chicken and a generous 1/4 cup green chile sauce. Scatter with a thin layer of cheese (about 2 tablespoons). Make another layer of tortilla, chicken, sauce and cheese. Finish with a final tortilla, sauce and a thick carpet of cheese (about ¾ cup) extending onto the rim of the bowl. Broil 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is well-browned and bubbling. Serve immediately.

We are tasting Bolognese today in all its meaty and long simmering glory. Throughout the journey of today's episode we get stumped by pasta shapes, state birds and basic human emotions. Luckily meat nuggets with clingy pasta saves the day. EXPLICIT. spilledmilkpodcast.com PDX event tix Marcella Hazan recipe RAGU BOLOGNESE Adapted from Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Best Slow-Cooked Bolognese Sauce Recipe and Cook’s Illustrated, Classic Bolognese Sauce Makes a big pot of sauce that serves a bunch of people 2 packets (2 tablespoons) unflavored gelatin 2 cups whole milk ¼ pound pancetta, chopped 2 tablespoons butter ¼ cup minced onion ¼ cup minced celery ¼ cup minced carrot 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork 1½ teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon MSG 2 cups white wine 1 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes, pureed with their juice (a stick blender works well) ¼ cup heavy cream 1 ounce grated parmesan cheese Sprinkle the gelatin over the surface of the milk and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until fat renders and pancetta begins to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot. Add the butter to the pot. When it’s melted, add the onion, celery, and carrot. Cook until softened but not brown, about 4 minutes. Add the beef, pork, salt, and MSG. Cook, breaking the meat up into the smallest chunks, until meat has lost its pink color, about six minutes. Stir in the milk (with gelatin), bring to a medium simmer, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until milk has largely evaporated, about 30 minutes. Then do the same thing with the wine: stir it in and simmer until mostly evaporated, about 30 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Transfer pot to the oven and bake 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and meat is tender. Add a bit of water if necessary. The sauce will have a layer of fat floating on top. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stirring well to blend evenly and emulsify some of the fat into the sauce. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for a few days or the freezer for a couple of months.
