I love yukhoe, and so does my husband, so we make it from time to time. However, because we have different calorie allowances, I usually enjoy the yukhoe by itself while giving my husband some extra carbs. So I thought, why not turn this yukhoe […]
10 minutes Calorie friendly YUKHOE (육회, Korean beef tartare)
Low calories Dry Hotpot with Roasted Bean Powder Sauce✨ (Macro friendly!)
I craved dry hotpot the other day, so I made this, and it hit the spot at just the right time. I love Chinese sesame paste (芝麻酱) so much, but I know it’s not very calorie-friendly, which means I can’t have a lot of it. […]
High protein 5-minutes Natto Tofu Snack (Vegetarian!)
I made a similar dish with chicken before, but this time I wanted to make a vegetarian version, so I decided to try it with natto instead. Honestly… I thought it turned out pretty good! But then my husband said, “No one’s going to like […]
High protein 5-minutes Chicken Tofu Snack
This is one of my favourite lazy meals when I’m on a calorie deficit. It takes just 5 minutes to make, is packed with protein, and keeps me feeling full with barely any cooking. I especially love this combo when I’m close to my period! […]
Avocado Egg dip with Coconut Wrap chips (Period-Friendly Savoury Snack!)
If you’re looking for a savoury snack that’s perfect for the week leading up to your period, you have to give this recipe a try. It’s been such a lifesaver for me. As someone who’s really health-conscious, I always keep track of my menstrual cycle. […]
Korean Beef and Radish porridge (소고기무죽)
I originally made this porridge based on Korean Beef & Radish Soup (Soegogi Mu Guk). I absolutely love a good beef and radish soup—it’s so hearty, comforting, and perfect for any season. That’s how I came up with the idea of turning it into a […]
High protein Bulgogi Kimbap
Kimbap is one of the most nostalgic foods for Koreans. The problem is, it takes quite a bit of time and effort to make. Whenever I make kimbap, I feel like I need to make at least 10 rolls to make all that preparation worth […]
High protein Bulgogi bagel
I’ve made this Bulgogi Bagel for my friends and for Lee many times – and it’s always a hit! It’s definitely on the higher-calorie side, so it may not be the best option if you’re in a calorie deficit. But if you’re eating at maintenance […]
Crispy bulgogi (바싹 불고기)
There are so many ways to make bulgogi, but this is one of my favourite versions. If you make bulgogi without vegetables (or just add a small amount at the very end), you’ll get this beautiful caramelisation on the meat. Just make sure to cook […]
