I originally made this porridge based on Korean Beef & Radish Soup (Soegogi Mu Guk).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 […]
Low sugar Berry compote
If you’re a jam person, you need to try this low sugar berry compote. It takes 10 minutes and you can use it in so many different ways. It doesn’t have any preservatives or bad ingredients, just the frozen berries, little bit of lime juice […]
Low carbs Chinese style Fried Rice
I’m not a Chinese dish expert, but this is how I make it whenever I’m craving fried rice! I know traditional fried rice is usually cooked with quite a lot of oil, but this version still turns out great with much less oil as long […]

This is one of my favourite drinking snacks in Korea, known as 차돌숙주볶음 (Chadol Sukju Bokkeum). 차돌 (Chadol) means beef brisket, 숙주 (Sukju) means bean sprout, and 볶음 (Bokkeum) means stir-fry. But trust me, it’s not just a bar snack — it also makes a […]
High protein banana bread (with Kodiac cake mix)
I actually made this banana bread because I had some leftover Kodiak cake mix sitting around. But don’t worry! You can still make it with regular pancake mix (no baking powder needed) or even cake flour. It will be a little lower in protein, but […]
Prawn Yaki Udon
I’m not the biggest fan of yaki udon, mostly because I’m not a huge fan of dishes that use a lot of oil! But if yaki udon is made this way, I could honestly eat it every day. It’s high in protein, macro-friendly, and easy […]
High Protein Gochujang Rose pasta
This is my husband’s all-time “yes” pasta. Every single time I ask him what to make for meal prep — and I mean every single time — the answer is always pasta. So today, I’m finally giving him exactly what he wants: Gochujang Rose Pasta. […]
