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 […]
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 […]
Egg cottage cheese salad toastie
If you love eggs, you’ll love this recipe. Even if you don’t love eggs, you’ll still love this, because Lee doesn’t like anything too “eggy” but he loved this. Egg and mayonnaise is such a popular combo, especially in Korea, and I love it too. […]
Super easy Mango Prawn Chilli summer salad
This is a recipe I made at Lee’s parents’ house before we moved into our current place. Since we were sharing the kitchen, I didn’t feel comfortable making complicated meals, so I usually kept things simple. But you know you can still make nice and […]
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 […]
High protein Calorie friendly Tiramisu (w/ Cottage cheese!)
I’ve been trying to create a really good high-protein tiramisu that has no aftertaste and still tastes like real tiramisu. I tested so many different ingredients, and finally I came up with a recipe that doesn’t use protein powder at all. No aftertaste, and it […]
10-Minute No Wrapper Easy Microwave Wonton
To be honest, I made this recipe to use up the pork mince before going on a long holiday. I just wanted something simple, protein-rich, and calorie friendly. I also tried it with some leftover enoki mushrooms, and it turned out to be such a […]
Sundubu jjigae noodles (Noodles with stir-fried pork mince & silken tofu cream)
Recently, I saw a lot of viral mapo tofu noodle recipes and really wanted to try one. But I am not the type of person who strictly follows recipes (hehe), so I changed it a little and turned it into a Korean-style version. I made […]
