You were all correct about scallion pancake mix

[liveintheville]

It's the way to go. I tried from scratch on Monday, then a different recipe on Tuesday, and yesterday I just went to Reliable and bought a mix. Mix is totally the way to go. 

Hey, RockNVoll, are you the one with a good Korean rib crockpot recipe?

Thanks for sending the noodle and pancake recipes. Looks like I'll make the noodles and then buy this mix! What brand did you get?

Ha! If only I knew. There was very minimal English on the package.

Lol.... So what did you do with it? Just add water?

Yep. On the back were measurements in metric. I just google converted it. I think it was about a 1:1 ratio but not quite.

Oh, and as I tend to do with stuff I know nothing about, I just bought the mid priced mix. There is no rhyme or reason to it. 

I, also, tried to buy mirin. But that just wasn't happening. I need to look up the translation for that I think. Or drag my Korean friend there with me.

I actually have mirin.  I bought it for when I made sushi. I got it at H-Mart and the packaging (I think) was in English.

You can get mirin at like Stop & Shop!

I know I know. But it was a sketchy basket/reliable shopping trip. And that's a roll the dice sort of move. I was just sort of walking around being like hmm plum wine sounds good! Oooh, sake! Wait we have 2 bottle of sake. Hmm. Wine. It was a very poorly formulated plan

Oh and I bought clementines there and every time I tried to look at something on a shelf, L would grab a clementine from the box and start eating like an apple and then spit out peel for the next 5 minutes. So I consider this atrocious but because I had him in a death grip at checkout, he was actually not grabbing crap, and the woman ringing us up gave him a lollypop (shaped like a star wand of course) for "being so good and patient!" Hardly.
