Namul

This week, we went to Okutama (map) for mountain climbing. There are a lot of mountains in the Okutama area and the most popular one is called Mt. Mitake, which is so busy in the summer time. However, we decided to climb Mt. Honnita where there was not any other person around.

We had to walk in pouring rain due to the rainy season so I was worried about land slide or rock fall. Also there are bears and monkeys that can attack people in the area! But the location is beautiful so please go and try climbing there!

Namul is a Korean food but popular in Japan too. I will make carrot, qing geng cai and bean sprout namul.

Ingredients:

carrot

qing geng cai (or spinach)

bean sprout

sesame

sesame oil

salt

soy sauce

1- Cut carrot and bok-choy in around 5cm stick.

2- Boil 1 and bean sprout. Stir with sesame oil, sesame and a little salt and soy sauce.
