I went out today to buy black ink cartridge for our printer and a kitchen utensil. Few minutes after I arrived home our doorbell rang thinking it is the mail man because my husband told me he is expecting a packaged from Canada, probably vitamins and supplements but when I opened the door it is our landlord holding something on his right hand I greeted him and he gave what is holding to me while saying Tteok, I accepted it and say my thank you and he left.

When my husband arrived from school I told him that our landlord gave us tteok and recalling that he might be the one who doorbell early morning which we didn’t answer because are still sleeping.

Tteok is a class of Korean rice cakes made with glutinous rice flour by steaming and it considered as celebratory food like on New Year’s Day or wedding, but plain-flavored tteok is used in home cooking. Some common ingredients for many kinds of tteok are red bean, mung bean and sweet red bean paste, Korean mugwort, jujube and other dried fruits, sesame seeds and oil, sugar, and pine nuts.

After gym I went to our favorite canteen to buy Korean street foods the people are happy to see me and one of them started to ask me again in Hangul and as usual all I can say is Mulayo Hangul. Anyway I just pointed out what I like and how many pieces by showing finger sign and when it was total I have samchon left but my husband asked me to spend all the money he gave me so I sign of getting more twigim (friend fritters) and mandu. The owner add more twigim and it she referred it as service so I said my thank you.

The photo photo below is butter and deep fried stuffed pepper twigim and Sweet Potato Twigim or Goguma, twigim means fritters.

And of course we had mandu, the long one are made of vegetables and noodles while the round one is kimchi flavored.

I happened to see corn as well 3 pieces for samchom (₩3,000)

My husband’s daily meal is white eggs with variety of anything like Kimchi, onion or chicken strips.  I always copy his meal and cook my own food after cooking his meal. So this is what I got, I chopped some onions and sauteed it with Kimchi and instead of using just white eggs I add two yolks and scrambled it, I also added green onions as it is present in our fridge.
