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 […]

I want to introduce this simple Korean noodle dish to you. I used to make it with my friend in my uni dorm because it was so easy. Back then I never added protein because I could not afford it 🥲. Now I am a […]
Brie Cheese Pasta with Prawn
I made this prawn brie cheese pasta and it turned out so good. The original recipe didn’t have much protein, but you know we always hit our protein goal, so I added prawns. It tastes like restaurant pasta but healthier! Make this for your girlfriend […]
