Learning to Cook - What Dish Was Your First Solo Cooking Experience?

Posted by Lesli

My claim to fame was Sapporo Ichiban soup in a pack - does that count? I was taught to add egg to the soup right as the noodles were almost done, so there was a degree of difficulty, for a ten year old. Later, I even began adding vegetables, which is a good thing as the vegetables offset the sodium as it hits your system.

I have my Korean friends to blame for introducing me to Ichiban soup at such an impressionable age. To this day my mouth begins to water when I think of Ichiban soup and kimchi. Kimchi is a spicy, fermented cabbage with an addictive quality.

Do you remember your first independent cooking accomplishment?

Happy Cooking,

Rice Crispie squares.

This was before microwaves, so you had to melt the marshmallows in a pot.

This was also before dishwashers, so afterwards, you had to (somehow) clean said pot. Well, it was impossible. Or it was impossible for me. (I was young.)

So what did I do? Naturally, I threw the pot down the apartment incinerator. Voila! No more mess. And, eventually, no more pots.

(I swear this is true. Sad, yet true. My father screamed at me the day that he wanted soup ...hot soup ...that needed to be heated ...in a pot ...of which we had none.)
