This is my simple version of Egg sandwich, just fry the egg, sandwich it to  bread and top it with mayonnaise and ketchup. This serves as my late meal especially when there’s a lot of bread I need to eat before its expiration. I missed this meal as  right now we cannot eat anything solid even though I cheat last night by eating potato chips I decided to return to our juice fasting, I already loss weight since we started.

Oh well I know this food is  much better to served during breakfast especially if there’s hotdog too.

This past few weeks our daily diet consists of coleslaw, which is sometimes simply called slaw in some American dialects, it is a salad consisting primarily of shredded raw cabbage. It may also include shredded carrots and other ingredients such as fruits and vegetables, apples, onions, green onions, peppers and various spices.

 Our coleslaw version is just shredded cabbage and carrots, the mixed it with salt, black pepper and the coleslaw mayonnaise. The first photo was prepared by my husband which is too much carrot and the second one is mine.

Sweet potato can be served in different way, it can be either boiled or fried in the place where I came from. Here in Korea it can be a flavor of cup cakes or pizza. Yes pizza,  yesterday we had our cheat day and for the last time before we start our juice fasting my husband decide to pig out errr I mean eat all he want, so one of our treats is pizza. I ordered sweet potato for myself, its been a long time since I had this one.

Yes it’s my second time to have Sweet Potato here and I think the first time was year ago, lol.  Oh well if you will ask me how does it tasted, it tasted good its kind of sweet but crunchy and yummy. I enjoyed it this time because I almost ate the whole pizza if my husband didn’t ask for it after he finished his pepperoni pizza.

There are times I feel hungry for Korean food so one fine day and I went out to buy some items for our kitchen, I bought Tteokbokki worth W2,000 (plastic) in some of the mini-canteen just in the school vicinity.  Instead of buying to my “suki” I bought to the other stall owner which is a little farther just to see if who cooks Tteokbokki better.

And to test it, I bought another set of Tteokbokki to the woman I called “suki”, W500 each cup and I also bought the round snack, and if you’re gonna ask me who cooks better my vote goes to my “suki” as her Tteokbokki  has a sticky sauce that taste spicy and sweet while the other one is not that sticky and kind of sour (vinegar taste).

I called her “suki” as I always buy Tteokbokki to her and she always put more than the amount I bought especially when I buy in large container, and since she put a lot it came to the point I feel tired of eating Tteokbokki. Lol!

Tteokbokki, also known as Ddeokbokki is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or Pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs, and seasoning. Tteok jjim an early variant of modern tteokbokki, was once a part of Korean royal court cuisine. This type of tteokbokki was made by boiling tteok, meat, vegetables, eggs, and seasonings in water, and then serving it topped with ginkgo nuts and walnuts. In its original form, tteokbokki, which was then known as gungjung tteokbokki, was a dish served in the royal court and regarded as a representative example of haute cuisine. The original tteokbokki was a stir-fried dish consisting of garaetteo ( cylinder-shaped tteok) combined with a variety of ingredients, such as beef, mung bean sprouts, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and onions, and seasoned with soy sauce.

There are times when I can’t be disturbed I just dropped the pork in the frying pan and let it fried on its own oil instead of cooking adobo which I need to peel and chopped  potato as well garlic and onion. The easiest way for me to have adobo as my meal for the day is pour a drop of oil and soy sauce on my hot rice and mixed it. Simple isn’t it?

If there’s something I am craving for tonight that is my version of sisig but as I am kinda lazy to cook,  I just had a noodles for my dinner that makes me crave for something sweet.

I love this viand as since I am little I am already familiar with this, this is always part of the pulutan of my grandfather way back then. My version is very simple I just fried the pork on their own oil and cut  a of onions and garlic. Then add seasoning like salt and black pepper and it is good to go. How I wish there’s real calamansi here so I am not going to use lazy lime.

Not feeling well these past few days, as of now I have a headache. When I wake up this morning my head already bothers me, I guess my food intolerance strikes again. Haist, I cannot just ate any food I want, I have to make sure it is fresh or freshly cooked or else I will feel sick.

Anyway as I have nothing to blog today, just want to share my favorite chicken recipe here in Korea. A chicken kimchi stew, its been a long time since we had kimchi at home, we stop buying kimchi because it is getting expensive and my husband change his meal plan.

My ingredients:

Chicken, Kimchi, Salt, Black pepper, Oil, Onion, Garlic, Water

Procedure:

• In a  sauce pan or in a pot sauté garlic and onions on cooking oil.
• Add the chicken to the pan. Friend it a little then add the kimchi and stir.
• Add water enough for the chicken to boil.
• Seasoned it with salt and black pepper.
• Wait until the chicken became  tender.
• Serve hot with plain rice.

The other day I have sauteed  a squash with meat, I just cut it into small pieces and did not peel the squash anymore, darn it is too hard and our knife is so small. I think it is okay because I also eaten not peeled squash way back home.  Well I am planning to half cooked it  but I was so engrossed online that I forgot I am cooking something in the kitchen, so when I remember it my squash turns to be overcooked, well still yummy!

When I am hungry and lazy to cook food I only have one option that is to run to family mart to buy instant meal. Just heat it warm to microwave oven and ready to go. Here’s the latest meal  I have eaten few weeks ago, it consists of rice, kimchi, meat balls and I guess a little dash of spam.

As I have read microwaved food can be as healthy as home cooking – just make sure you read the label for any ‘hidden’ ingredients first.

Nothing else to do today aside from tweaking themes and thinking for proper concept and as usual I wake up  late, I decided to cook nilagang baboy to feed my hunger, it feels good when you drink a hot soup when it is raining. Pookie bear loves it too, I don’t know how many bowls he ate.

Cooking nilaga is very simple, all you need is to boil the meat first with garlic and onions, seasoned it salt and pepper,  then add the potato when  the meat and potato  is already soft, add the cabbage and simmer for few minutes and serves hot.
