First off, the kimchi recipe is adapted from Maangchi. Note that, I used mushroom broth instead of vegetable broth. The reason I chose Maangchi’s recipe is because, well, it’s Maangchi! If you haven’t watched ANY of her videos yet, I suggest you do and you’ll know what I’m talking about. I couldn’t recall…

Mushroom Nuggets and Japanese Potato Salad
Inspired by Washoku All of my Valentine’s Days in the past have been so remarkable I forgot all about them. Tonight, as I sit here taking a break, I realized I have nothing planned tomorrow. Well I do but that’s work-related and who wants to hear about that? My jowa is traveling to…

A tomato salsa excuse.

Are you still waiting? (Daigoku Imo)
Korean singer Hee Young sang the single Are you still waiting?, from her album So Sudden for the Korean drama Lie to Me’s OST which I absolutely adore. The song has a folksy feel to it and it get your head bobbing and just feeling the beat. It’s the inspiration for today’s post. This…
A Bento Filler: Egg Wraps
This is a valid excuse, as days pass by, it takes longer to post using my internet provider. No matter how they boast on having the widest coverage yadda-yadda with fast and connection and even more yadda-yadda, it’s still not enough. Really. It took me 5 days and an accumulated 240 hours of…
