This evening I made a pot of Shin Ramyun with my go-to upgrades. With about two minutes left on the timer, I drop an egg into the pot. After I turn off the flame, I add a little sesame oil and lay a slice of American cheese on top. That’s my baseline. Tonight though, we had shrimp tempura from Costco, so I threw two pieces on top of everything. It was so good. I need to make sure we always have that stuff in the freezer.

Tonight’s dinner was simple, but it felt special. Korean BBQ at home always does that. We grilled some marinated spicy pork from H-Mart and paired it with kimchi, spinach, lettuce, onion, jalapeño, cheese, and rice. Easy, interactive, and so satisfying.

We also added pickled daikon, which Mariko first tried at a restaurant over the holidays. It was a great addition and super refreshing alongside the spicy pork.

I really love doing KBBQ or yakiniku at home. One important tip though: close your closet doors and open the windows. Things get smoky fast, but it’s absolutely worth it.

It’s been a long week as I try to wrap things up before vacation next week. Time to relax with a little drink. It looks pretty tasty, doesn’t it?

Bibimbap is a Korean mixed rice bowl, and I always think the colors look so beautiful. That said, I actually think the “before” photo – before everything gets mixed together – looks even better. You can see it below!

We have three boys in their early twenties living at home, so cooking meals that actually fill them up has been a bit of a new challenge. Tonight’s yakiniku really hit the spot, though. Everyone was full and happy! It was absolutely delicious, and we packed in a ton of veggies too — bean sprouts, spinach, onion, eggplant, and jalapeños. We even added some kimchi for a boost of gut health!

I love Korean seafood pancakes! The leftover rib, green beans, and avocado made the perfect sides.

There was a little bit of tofu kimchi stew left over, so I added an egg and some rice, and just like that, I had a delicious lunch.

Today’s ramyun was topped with green onion and Muenster cheese, and it was absolutely delicious! The cheese didn’t fully melt like American cheese, nor did it cling to everything like mozzarella – it was a very nice balance. And beneath all that cheesy goodness? A hidden egg. Yum!

Mariko took a cooking class and learned to make a delicious Korean stew – rich, flavorful, and wonderfully comforting.

Tonight’s Korean soup was amazing! Loaded with tofu, pork, squid, and egg – so tasty!
