Jeju Island's Hidden Gem: The "Secret World" Tucked Inside a World Cup Stadium

If you think you’ve seen everything Jeju Island has to offer, think again. After 11 years away, I expected to see changes, but I never expected to find a literal  "Secret World"  hidden right underneath the seats of the  Jeju World Cup Stadium . Can't believe I'm at the hosting venue of FIFA World Cup 2002 Completed in 2001, in time for the event in 2002 Hosted 3 matches of FIFA World Cup 2002 The Grandeur of Jeju World Cup Stadium Before we even stepped inside to find the hidden gem, the stadium itself was a sight to behold. Its unique roof design is known to resembles traditional Jeju fishing nets (or Bangat-no), it was one of the host venues for the  2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea. It’s a impressively massive structure that sits beautifully against Jeju landscape.

[RECIPE] Stir-Fry Cucumber with Egg


[RECIPE PERFECT FOR 2]

How did this dish come about? All thanks to my husband. Instead of having cucumbers on its own (plain jane), he made it into a simple and fuss-free dish using three ingredients: cucumber, egg and dry shrimps. Perfect for small families like us (yes, just the two of us).

Because you need to soften the cucumber during the cooking process, slice the cucumber to the correct thickness so that it won't get mushy along the way.

Superb easy dish and if a noob like me can do it, you sure can. And you probably can innovate from here for other dishes.

Ingredients:

1 medium sized cucumber 
(skinned, seeds removed, sliced)

1 egg, beaten (w/o seasoning)

A handful of dry shrimps, soaked
(do not throw away the water)

1 tablespoon of Oyster sauce
(for seasoning: add more when needed)

Fried shallots for garnishing

Method:

1. Heat the pan with oil. Add minced garlic (ready-to-use type from supermarkets) or chopped garlic and stir fry till fragrance. 

2. Follow by soaked shrimps into the pan and do the same too. 

3. Time to put the sliced cucumbers to cook. Using the water from soaking the dry shrimps, add oyster sauce to it and mix well before pouring into the pan. That can help soften the cucumbers. 

4. Last step, to pour the beaten egg in anti-clockwise (or clockwise you prefer) the egg-drop way. Do not immediately stir. Wait for 5-10 secs or when you see it starting to cook (I mean the egg). Then mix with the cucumbers. 

5. Turn off the heat and serve with some fried shallots on top as garnishing.
