Bulgogi Salad

Yeah, you read that right.  I'm exploring some fusion cuisine.  Korean and....salad.  Where does salad come from, anyway?  California?  Probably.  We seem to be the salad capital.  And now we even have Korean salad.  At my house, anyway.

A couple of weeks ago I made a trip to the Korean market, the Galleria on Reseda.  I picked up some of their pre-made bulgogi beef and marinated pork.  I like to buy extra and keep it in the freezer for a day I want something quick but really good.  Korean food is amazing.  Seriously.  If you haven't, you should go try it.

Since my trip was a couple of weeks ago I didn't have any of the marinated veggie side dishes that go with this and I didn't want to just eat a bunch of rice and meat.  Although that's exactly what my son ate.  And then he ate some more.  Apparently he's working on getting taller.

So I decided to grill up the meat and put mine on some mixed greens and fresh tomatoes from my organic box.  I added some quinoa.  My sister has been experimenting with it lately so I thought I'd give it a shot.  It was good.

So that's really the recipe today, quick, simple and healthy.  Did you know quinoa isn't pronounced "Quinn - Noah"?  I did not.  The guy I asked at Trader Joe's thought I was looking for some guy named Quinn.  Or Noah.  It was a weird conversation.
