Wombok beef soybean stew (소고기 배추 된장국)
Wombok looks so great these days, so I bought one but didn’t know what to make with it. That’s how this recipe came to life. Wombok is a popular ingredient in Korean soybean paste soup, which we call Baechu Doenjang Guk (배추된장국). I actually didn’t […]
🥩 Beef, Clam and Oyster Miyeokguk (Korean Seaweed Soup)

Sweet & Sour Chicken, Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry (4 days of meal-prep)
Another nutritious tofu dish! 🥢 I paired it with noodles this time, but you can enjoy it with rice if your carbs allow, or just as it is! This dish even passed Lee’s taste test (and he’s not a big tofu fan 😆), so I’m […]
