I'm a big fan of BCD.
I don't care what you Soon Dubu enthusiasts claim, it is the SHIT.
For those of you who do not know what BCD is, it is a franchise restaurant that serves a wide variety of Soft Tofu soups (aka Soon Dubu). They are open 24 hours and serve other dishes such as Galbi, Teriyaki Chicken, and Bibimbap. If you haven't tried it already, you're missing out.
They have various spice levels so you can get flavors from no heat to even "DANGER".
"You know you want it."
Anyway the whole point of my post and my title "BCD at Home?!" is due to the fact that I ran across a couple of their "make at home" packages at the local supermarket.
What?! I CAN MAKE BCD AT HOME?!
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH!
So I read the instructions and found out that it only comes with their soup base and the soft tofu.
Well you can't have everything right?
Right.
So I prepared the necessary ingredients and made a non-traditional version of BCD.
My nicely prepared ingredients.
Bottom left: Shrimp, Bacon, Steak meat
Bottom right: White mushrooms, onions, green onions, mystery Korean greens
Top left: BCD packages
Top right: minced garlic
How it happened:
1) I added a bit (1 Tb?) of sesame oil
2) added bacon
3) added steak
4) added garlic
5) added white mushrooms
6) poured water (around 3 cups)
7) mixed in the spicy "paste" from the BCD packets
8) added the soft tofu
9) seasoned with extra pepper flakes
10) and finally added green onions and mystery Korean greens
** Sorry I really can't remember the name of the mystery Korean greens**
My overall verdict:
Did it taste like BCD?
No.
Was it delicious?
YES.
So all in all I'm happy I tried out the BCD for home packet.
I guess to get the BCD taste I'll have to go to the actual restaurant
but it was spicy and delicious! My bf even said it was better than BCD!
YAY for my first blog post!
