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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
Japanese curry (8 serving recipe)
This is probably one of the best options for you. Yes, you. People who do not eat many vegetables and do not always pay close attention to their diet. It is incredibly convenient because you can make as much as you want. Today, I made […]
