Hey everyone 👋 it’s been a hot minute! The past couple of years have been a mix of building, exploring, and evolving. There’s been lots of changes in both my personal life and work. I’ve leaned deeper into my multipotentialite era and my love for tech, so I founded an AI company and specialised in all things AI. I still run my food blog SugarYums, but posting mainly on the website, not on socials (there’s only so many hours in my day). Alongside work, I’ve been focusing on my health and fitness, doing a lot of inner work, travel, and self-growth along the way. Ohh and I’m preparing a biiig move (but can’t say where just yet)!

I haven’t posted much here lately, but I’ve missed sharing the journey. So here’s my quick update, and a re-introduction to the woman behind it all 💫 thanks for sticking with me all along and here’s to many more exciting updates! by @sugaryums

🎃 Butter Mochi, but make it Pumpkin Spice! 🍂
I’m sure most of you have tried mochi before, but have you ever had butter mochi? It’s a super gooey, chewy and addictive cake with a super stretchy texture.

Pumpkin butter mochi is the perfect fusion between Hawaiian cuisine and Japanese ingredients, with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and fall aromas. The unique texture and sweet taste make pumpkin spice mochi one of the best pumpkin recipes of the season. Oh and did I mention the crispy, buttery crust? 🤤

Here’s what you need to make it:

🎃 Ingredients:
▫️3 medium eggs, room temp
▫️1 ¼ cup sugar
▫️5 tbsp melted butter
▫️¾ cup pumpkin puree
▫️1 ½ cups milk
▫️½ cup heavy cream
▫️2 ½ cups mochiko rice flour
▫️1 ½ tsp baking powder
▫️⅛ tsp salt
▫️½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

👩🏼‍🍳Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch tray with parchment paper or brush with butter and dust with mochiko flour.
2️⃣ Whisk eggs and sugar until pale. Add melted butter and pumpkin puree. Mix well.
3️⃣ Add milk and cream to the wet mix. Whisk until smooth.
4️⃣ In a separate bowl, sift mochiko flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together.
5️⃣ Mix wet and dry ingredients until lump-free. Pour into the prepared tray.
6️⃣ Bake 45-50 mins until golden-brown. Cool before slicing and sprinkle with extra pumpkin pie spice.

🇰🇷🇬🇧 Come with me to celebrate Korea’s National Foundation Day, and 140 years of UK-Korea relations in London! I had the honour of being invited to this wonderful event by the Korean Embassy.

October 3rd is known as Gaecheonjeol (개천절) in South Korea, and it commemorates the founding of Gojoseon, way back in 2333 BC.

The evening was filled with wonderful Korean music, good food and amazing company! The delicious K-food was provided by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation @eat_ukorea and prepared by the renowned YORI London restaurant @yori_london_ . I tried the White Kimchi Crepe, Mushroom & Pear Pickle Tart, Korean Sweet Potato Rice Cake and Braised Short Ribs Rice Balls - they were all incredibly delicious! If you love K-food, I highly recommend heading down to YORI London if you haven’t already!

Other stands included fresh seafood products certified by K-FISH Korean Seafood, as well as delicious kimchi tuna gimbap and seaweed stem cucumber rolls.

Asiana Airlines UK @flyasiana_uk were also present at the event, running a fun raffle competition - wish me luck! Make sure to check them out for amazing deals and daily flights from London to Seoul!

Many thanks to the Korean Embassy in the UK @korean_embassy_in_uk for the invitation, and many thanks to my wonderful friend @warneford.lane for his assistance! And thank you @niki.tatata for being the perfect partner in crime! ❤️

Korean Cabbage Kimchi 배추김치 🌶️

One of Korea’s most famous culinary exports, kimchi has been taking the world by storm over the last decade. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your own, I got you!

I’ve spent months researching, talking to kimchi specialists and testing out ungodly amounts of cabbage so I could make a comprehensive guide to kimchi making. My recipe is inspired by centuries old recipes from Korean kimchi masters. It’s not a quick and easy recipe, BUT it’s very delicious and authentic.

If you’re not familiar with kimchi, it’s a traditional Korean dish made by fermenting vegetables. It’s incredibly healthy and nutritious and lasts for a long time (seriously, some of my kimchi is 2 years old).

There are hundreds of different types of kimchi, but the most famous one is made from cabbage. You can eat it on its own, with rice, as a side or add it to stews, savoury pancakes and much more!

🥬 Fun facts about this superfood 🌶️
▪️ Kimchi was first mentioned in a poem in 1241
▪️ The practice of making and sharing kimchi (김장 / kimjang) was declared as an Intangible Culture Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO
▪️ Once a year, Koreans gather in big groups to make large quantities of kimchi for the winter (50-300 cabbages at least)
▪️ Gifting someone kimchi is considered a very thoughtful and genuine gesture
▪️ Many Koreans have an entire separate fridge just for kimchi!
▪️ In Korean, kimchi is written as 김치, which sounds more like "gimchi" or "gimchee"

💕 Hi guys, guess who's back? It's been a while since I last dropped a post, so let me update you on what's been happening!

✨ I decided to turn my passion into my job. You guys may know that I trained and worked as an architect for many years. Somehow, along the way, that didn't make me happy anymore. So now I am focusing on what truly makes me happy - recipe development and food writing!

✨ My website sugaryums.com has taken centre stage and is where you can find me most of the time! Check it out to see all my latest recipes, bakes, foods and much more. I post regularly, so do pop in to see what's new!

✨ I'm branching out! Although baking will always be my first love, I have decided to focus more on the foods that make me feel excited! Coming from a multi-cultural background, I love making, tasting and exploring recipes from around the world. Over the past year I started making more authentic Asian and Asian-inspired street food recipes, especially Korean and Japanese.

✨ My journey into Korean culture and food continues! I have been studying the Korean language for over 1.5 years, specifically so I can research and read authentic recipes. The more I learn, the more my love grows, so expect to see a lot of K-food here!

✨ I have learnt to say YES to new opportunities and step outside of my comfort zone. There are a lot of new and exciting projects I’m working on behind the scenes, that I’ll be revealing more of in due time! Hint: it involves food, culture and stories!

✨ Lastly, this year I’m competing in Carla Hall’s Favorite Chef competition, so if you love me and my food please drop me a vote! You can vote daily, entirely for free. Link in bio to vote!

I’ve missed you all! 💕

P.S. Many thanks @romylondonuk for the portrait shots!

At this point it's no secret that I love Korean food! After eating at a lot of Korean restaurants, researching Hansik (traditional Korean cuisine) and learning Korean specifically so I can understand authentic recipes (and because BTS is life) - I have decided to start sharing this passion with all of you.

And what better intro into the wonderful world of Korean cuisine than some good street food?
Korean Corn Dogs or 핫도그 (hot dogeu) are some of the most delicious snacks I have ever had! They have hot dogs and mozzarella cheese inside, then they're dipped in a yeasted batter and rolled through various toppings - panko, potato cubes, crushed ramen and much more.

You can find the full recipe and different tasty flavour variations on my blog, link in bio.
