leftover kimbap ingredients turned into bibimbap! this egg was so perfect ^_^

my 1st time having doenjang bibimbap was in seoul and it became my go-to comfort meal during the 4 months i was there ♡ instead of gochujang, you add the concentrated stew as a sort of sauce and mix it up!

tamagoyaki (卵焼き) time! 🐣꩜ a rolled omelette has been my go-to for a light-tasting but filling breakfast, and here’s a simple version that even you (yes you) can make:

𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽 🔪 
1. dice carrots and green onion into small pieces! (optional) 2. crack 2 eggs and customize seasonings to your taste: dashi, salt, sugar, mirin, light soy sauce.
3. mix well in a zig zag motion, avoiding incorporating too much air! 
𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 🍳  4. use a paper towel to evenly coat oil on the pan.
5. on medium heat, pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan - it should lightly sizzle!
6. once the egg settles/is mostly cooked, start rolling from one edge of the pan to the other, using a spoon and/or chopsticks. shift this first layer of omelette to the edge of the pan.
7. maintain a low-medium heat and repeat steps 4-6 until no more egg mixture remains (2-3 more times), making sure the new layer of egg mixture reaches under the rolled omelette.

𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 😋 
8. cut omelette into even pieces. pair with natto, rice, and miso soup for a japanese-style breakfast!

now THIS is my breakfast of champions ᕦ(ò_ó)ᕤ

perfectly balanced and soothing meal for when you have extra time in the morning to cook!! 😌 if you’re used to eating some sort of toast or skipping breakfast period, it might feel illegal to eat rice first thing in the morning :0 but paired w a light soup and some protein, i PROMISE it’ll make you feel your best <3

when you’re unemployed so lunch can be your most elaborate meal of the day 😅

i have a tendency to fixate on the same meals and i swear i’ve been mainly making kimbap for lunch these past two weeks but safe to say i’m ready to move on to my next lunch fixation…taking suggestions!!! ✍️

meals featured:

★ chive/buchu kimbap 부추김밥: using chives instead of spinach (the more commonly used ingredient) adds a unique, crispy mouth-feel (?) which complements the soft egg rlly well.

✩ kimchi pancake 김치전: perfectly spicy and a filling lunch if u add in potatoes or other vegetables!

★ kongguksu 콩국수: protein-packed lunch option that never disappoints, i use the hack where i blend tofu for a quick broth and it is chef’s kiss 😙🤌

i finally visited @thelunchlady on Commercial Drive!! ✨ had (basically) all of their veggie options and left with a very full belly & warm heart <3 the staff is so nice and on top of it, especially given how busy the restaurant can get.

i like that their vegetarian options don’t feel like an afterthought - the dishes are simple at a glance but the flavours are well-executed and refreshing. 🌱

if you’re looking to try a modern take on vietnamese street food, I definitely recommend going if you haven’t yet! it’s a great vibe for a date or night out with friends, but make a reservation if you can because the wait can be long.

📍the spots:  
@slocoffee_ @thismoment.fm  i’ve only been here for their slo rise events & it’s always a good vibe! will definitely be back, and hope to try more of their coffee drinks. ☕️  @convivialbakery  having a warm, savory soup facing the false creek wharf is a recipe for a perfect rainy day. 🥣 thank you beth for having us <3 
@whiskmatchayvr (studio) attended their open house to try teas brought over from japan by their team! loved this nishio matcha (copped a pack of it ofc) 🌱 
@ellipsis.ca
you’ve probably seen their sunset light pics on everyone’s stories by now 🌅 the pappardelle & the service is lovely (broke a glass here & they were very nice about it lol). 
⭐️ honorable mention (not pictured):

Make jeon (전) aka korean pancakes with me!

My first time trying to cook this myself 🙈 It’s a super simple + delicious way to get your veggies in! You can do this with zucchini, tofu but also with mushroom, peppers, potato, etc.

———

Zucchini & Tofu Jeon (호박전 + 두부전)

1. Prep 🔪 Slice zucchini into 1/3” coins, then salt to draw out water. Let sit for ~10 minutes and then pat dry.
Slice tofu into into 1/4” thick pieces, and pat dry.

2. Batter 🥚 Prepare 1 plate/shallow bowl of flour and 1 bowl of beaten eggs. *I didn’t salt either of these because I enjoy the natural taste of the veggies but feel free to season!

3. Cooking 🍳 Evenly coat zucchini/tofu in flour and dust off excess. Dunk into egg mixture (generously). Pan fry on medium heat until light golden brown on either side.

4. Dipping sauce 🥣 Mix a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce to rice vinegar, and add sugar to taste (I reccomened dissolving in a little bit of hot water). + optional add-ins: sesame seeds, gochugaru, green onion

5. Enjoy fresh! 😽
