I made this dish inspired by 제육볶음 (Jeyuk-bokkeum), a classic Korean spicy pork stir-fry that’s both sweet and spicy at the same time. It’s one of the most popular dishes in Korea, especially among guys, for reasons I honestly don’t even know. I just remember […]
Luxury Sushi Bowl for Gym Rats : Chirashi Don
If you are a sushi lover like me, you should definitely try making this bowl. It is honestly the most ideal dish for me among all Japanese food. To be honest, I would not mind adding even more sashimi, but I held back a little […]
Low calorie Korean Jjol-Myeon(쫄면, chewy spicy cold noodles)
Jjolmyeon isn’t as globally popular as many other Korean dishes, but it’s one of the most loved bun-sik foods in Korea — alongside tteokbokki, gimbap, odeng (fish cake), and ramyeon. “Jjolmyeon” literally means chewy noodles, and that iconic texture is what makes the dish so […]
Calorie friendly Korean Mandu 🥟 (for Lunar New Year!)🧧
It’s been a long time since I last celebrated Lunar New Year — ever since I moved to Australia. So this year, I made mandu with Lee’s family to celebrate it the Korean way. It was so much fun making mandu together. We had a […]
High protein Boneless Galbijjim (순살 갈비찜)
This is a boneless Galbijjim recipe that some local Koreans might hate me for. But I still want to celebrate Lunar New Year without gaining weight. Of course it would taste amazing if I made this with beef ribs or a fattier cut like Wagyu. […]
North Korean style chicken Rice
This North Korean–style steamed chicken recipe kept showing up on my algorithm for a while, so of course—I had to make it. (I don’t even know if the average North Korean citizen can afford chicken though) The original recipe uses chicken Maryland, which I’m sure […]
Low cal Hearty Chicken Corn soup
Chicken and corn are a combination you simply can’t resist. Together, they make the soup incredibly hearty and comforting. Deboning cooked chicken drumsticks does take a bit of effort, but for soup, I can’t give up the deep umami flavour that the bones create. Instead […]
Chinese style Chicken tofu stir fry (6-days meal prep)
I kind of wanted to make something with a Chinese hint of flavour, but still healthy. So I made this dish with whatever ingredients I have a home. I don’t even know what to call this dish, but I added lots of nutritious ingredients and […]
High protein Dubai chocolate Rice Krispie
A few years ago, I made protein Rice Krispies inspired by Lee’s content, and it actually went viral. (video below!) So when I was making the calorie-friendly version of the Dubai chewy cookie last time, I had an idea. What if I turned it into […]
High protein Potato soup perfect for cutting (with minced beef!)
If you’re looking for a high-volume soup that’s perfect for cutting, this is another creamy, high-protein, low-fat option that feels really comforting and satisfying. It pairs perfectly with toasted bread, so I highly recommend enjoying it with a hot bowl of soup if you have […]
