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 […]

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 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 […]
Bean sprout Bulgogi (차돌 숙주 볶음)
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 […]
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. […]
Korean Version Boy Kibble Dinner (Kimchi & Tofu)
Maybe this could be a boy kibble dinner if I ever have a son? I’ve been seeing a lot of boy kibble meals going viral. It actually seems like a pretty balanced and nutritious way of eating, and there’s nothing wrong with that… but you […]
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, low fat : “FAKE” Siu mai recipe
This is the final recipe that Lee perfected. We tested it multiple times to get it as close as possible to the authentic siu mai flavour, but it was actually pretty challenging while keeping it high in protein. We found that imitation crab meat (surimi) […]
Low cal Korean spicy pork and squid stir-fry (오징어 제육)
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 […]
