There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

- 1lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into one bite size

For fried riceInstructions
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix well. This sauce will last 10 to 15 days in a refrigerator, flavors will getting better and better!
- Pour ⅓ of sauce into chicken and mix it well. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate at least 1 hour to overnight.
- Arrange vegetables first on a large serving plate, then add marinated chicken on very top and pour remaining sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds as much as you want right before serving or cooking.
- Usually Dakgalbi is served and cooked on a table. To do so, you will need portable gas stove and large skillet. (I use my paella pan) You can also cook ahead in the kitchen then serve too. Either way you can follow my delicious cooking directions.
- Heat a large skillet (I recommend 14 inch) over high heat; add cooking oil. Carefully add vegetables, chicken and sauce (Everything!) into hot skillet. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken cooked through and vegetables are soft. Stir occasionally.
- Serve with lettuce, ssamjang, kimchi and/or any Korean side dishes you’d like to have together!
- When Dakgalbi has almost gone, but have a little bits and pieces left on skillet, don’t wash it out yet! Put all ingredients for fried rice ingredients in a bowl and heat skillet over medium high. Add fried rice ingredients to skillet and mix with all the leftover sauce!
- Put fried rice in middle of skillet, like a small mountain, and pour beaten eggs to ring. Scramble eggs slightly so it will evenly cook. When eggs are cooked, it’s time to dig in again! It will be the best fried rice you’ve ever!
