Traditional Balinese play: Kecak Fire dance at Uluwatu Temple.

This type of theater is unique in that it isn’t accompanied by music: just a choir of 70 men chanting. Super interesting.

More needlessly pretty street decorations in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩

I took so many pictures I love today, it was hard choosing just 1 – but if I had to summarize the day in an instant, it would be with a shot of one of the many, many intricately carved statues we saw on a walk around Ubud. Animals, deities both fierce and friendly, rulers of old – Ubud is a bustling jungle town filled with beautiful decoration.

Making it just under the wire for a POD: at the airport just before Midnight to catch a wee hours of the morning flight.

Bulgogi Chicken Bowl

Another dinner from my week whose directive from the hubbs included chicken & rice. This was another fantastic one – though fair warning: it’s a bit spicy. Deliciously so.

Bulgogi Chicken Bowl

1 Fuji or Gala apple

1 pear

1 thumb ginger

1 green onion

1 white onion

5 cloves garlic

1/2 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos

1/2 cup gochujang

Sprinkle black pepper

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 – 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken (I used thighs and breasts)

A second green onion

A sauce you enjoy (I used Bulldog bbq in place of the brand of slightly sweet teriyaki I was searching for)

Kewpie mayo

Toasted sesame seeds

1/2 – 1 cup cooked short grain white rice per person

Make the marinade by blending all ingredients above the chicken until mostly smooth.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Let sit an hour to the next day.

Place into your favorite multi or slow cooker. Mine has a button for “meats”. I punched that and 20 minutes later, the chicken was done.

Serve over rice, garnished with the sauce, mayo, second green onion and sesame seeds.

Serves 4 – 5
