[EN/한국어] Strawberry and cottage cheese toa

[EN/한국어]

Strawberry and cottage cheese toasts with multi-grain bread, a drizzle of Manuka honey, a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and mint garnish. Classic flavor combo of strawberry and cheese in a healthier version, but still delicious and satisfying😋

Thailand is a paradise for tropical fruit lovers like me. Mango, banana, papaya, custard apple, mangosteen🤤..My mouth waters just thinking about them right now. And to my surprise I even found amazing strawberries at super affordable price from a little farmer's street stall in my neighborhood! I feel so lucky😃 Fun fact about 🍓here - a word "strawberry" is used as a slang for calling someone a liar or fake among girls in Thailand. And telling someone "You strawberry!" equals "You lying b....!"😅So if you're in Thailand, use this F(ruit) word carefully😏

통밀빵에 딸기, 코티지치즈를 얹고 마누카허니 조금, 검은참깨 조금과 민트를 곁들인 토스트를 만들어 봤어요. 태국이 열대과일의 천국인건 유명하죠. 망고, 바나나, 파파야, 석가, 망고스틴같이 제가 사랑하는 과일들이 천지사방(?)에 있어 참 행복해요. 거기다 운좋게 집근처 노점에서 너무 맛있고 비싸지 않은 딸기를 파는 농부님까지 발견했답니다. 맛있는 딸기 정말 비싸잖아요. 참, 태국의 어린 여자들사이에선 딸기의 영어발음 strawberry 가 거짓말쟁이 또는 그 비슷한 나쁜욕으로 사용된다고해요. 귀엽고 맛있는 딸기가 무슨 죄라고🥲...한국도 곧 제철 딸기들이 풍성한 계절이 오겠네요. 맛있는 봄과일 많이 드시고 건강하세요!

[EN/한국어] Birthday pizza making session for

[EN/한국어]

Birthday pizza making session for my Italian mother in law🍕Her birthday is the day after Christmas so every year we have a double celebration happening. It's all so festive!

We each made our own pizza with toppings we liked, and mine had tomato sauce, sliced and shredded mozzarella, pesto, roasted garlic, caramelized onion and basil. After making sure all the toppings were in place, 10 minute in the pizza grill at my sister-in-law and her husband's backyard was all I needed to get this homemade pie to perfection.

So many ups and downs this year, but my husband and I just feel so happy and blessed to be able to spend the last few weeks of 2022 with our loved ones. (We drove to LA on 29th to have a reunion with some of our ex-Hong Konger friends who happen to be in town. So much fun😃) What are your plans for the NYE? Hope you'll all have wonderful new years eve!

시어머니의 생신이 크리스마스 다음날인 관계로 매년 더블파티가 되는데요, 이태리계 미국인이신 어머님이 가장 좋아하시는 음식은 단연 피자🍕 올해는 시누이의 집에 있는 피자그릴도 사용해볼겸 각자 취향에 맞는 토핑으로 피자를 만들어봤어요. 저는 토마토소스, 두종류의 모짜렐라, 캬라멜라이즈드 어니언(이걸 한국말로 머라하면 딱일까요?), 구운 마늘, 페스토, 바질을 얹고 10분간 구워 정말 맛있는 홈메이드피자를 완성했어요.

저와 남편은 LA에서 연말을 맞습니다. 홍콩에서 오랫동안 친했던 친구들 몇명과도 마침 날짜가맞아 즐거운 하루하루를 보내고 있어요. 정말 다사다난했던 2022년. 인친님들도 소중한 사람들과 즐겁고 행복하게 보내시길 바래요!

[EN/한국어] KFR (Kimchi Fried Rice) with avoca

[EN/한국어]

KFR (Kimchi Fried Rice) with avocado, fried eggs and sesame seeds.

1 cup. chopped kimchi
2 cup. cooked cold rice
1 1/2 - 2tbsp. olive oil
1 avocado
1-2 fried eggs
Sprinkle of sesame seeds
Sprinkle of poppy seeds (optional)

Well, it was about time that I made KFR (I'm determined to make this word stick😌). I had about 1/3 a jar of vegan kimchi from @milkimchi (the only vegan kimchi I ever eat) and leftover cold rice in the fridge. I think it's almost a crime against the food not to make KFR in a situation like this. So in with kimchi and oil in a pan over medium heat, stir and cook for 5-6min. then in with rice and cook for another 5-6min. over medium-high heat. What I like to do in the last minute of cooking is to flatten the rice without breaking it so I could have crispy bottom, kinda like paella😋When it's all done plate it up with a fried egg or two, sliced avo and sprinkle some sesame seeds, then you're all set! If you know me already I don't need to tell you how much I love the avocado and kimchi combo. This is such a simple and nutritious dish with so much flavor and texture. Not to mention great hangover cure if you indulged a little too much in wine and eggnog over the holiday😉

냉장고에 남은 찬밥 2컵, (유일하게 비건도 먹는 브랜드에서 구입한) 묵은비건김치 1컵과 올리브오일 2큰술로 10-12분만에 뚝딱 조리한후 아보카도, 달걀후라이를 얹고 참깨를 뿌려준 김치볶음밥입니다. 제가 아보카도와 김치의 조합을 정말 사랑하는거 아시죠? 맛, 식감, 영양 어느하나 빠지지 않는건 물론 크리스마스동안 과음하신 분들께는 숙취해소 용으로도 좋은 한끼입니다.

It's officially a Christmas week right? Well even

It's officially a Christmas week right? Well even if it wasn't, it's never too early to celebrate Christmas🎅🎄🎁

I used my ginger cookie illustration from last year in a frame mockup to create a festive holiday image. I was quite proud of my cookies even though they didn't come out as pretty as this illustration😅But the most important thing is that I had so much fun drawing and decorating them🍪

I've been working on something exciting in the past few months, something that will allow me to share two things that I love the most; food and visual art. And I wanted to give you a little taste of it with this little post. Hopefully I'll be able to show you what it is soon, please stay tuned. And have a wonderful Christmas week!❤️

[EN/한국어] Savory oatmeal with roasted cherry

[EN/한국어]

Savory oatmeal with roasted cherry tomatoes, boiled egg, soy sauce, celery and black sesame seeds. Healthy umami packed flavor bomb breakfast that only takes 20-25 minutes.

I boiled a medium size egg for 9 minutes and cooked 1/2 cup. instant oatmeal with water in a microwave for 3 minutes while halved cherry tomatoes were being roasted in the oven at 220c/428f for 16-17 minutes with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. I topped cooked oatmeal with tomatoes and egg when they were ready then drizzled a little bit of soy sauce to taste and added celery and sesame seeds to finish. So easy!

오트밀, 오븐에구은 방울토마토, 삶은달걀, 간장, 샐러리, 검은참깨입니다. 짭잘하고 감칠맛 나는 오트밀이 생각날때 뚝딱 만들어먹기 좋은 영양만점 아침식사예요.

반으로자른 방울 토마토는 올리브오일, 소금, 후추 조금과 섭씨 220도 오븐에 15-16동안 구워줬구요. 그사이 달걀은 9분정도 삶고 인스턴트 오트밀 반컵에 물을붓고 전자렌지에 3분간 조리했어요. 조리된 오트밀에 토마토, 달걀을 얹고 간장으로 간한후 샐러리 조금과 참깨 조금을 얹어 완성했습니다. 정말 간단하죠?

"พัดไทย" Pad Thai (with chicken) recip

"พัดไทย" Pad Thai (with chicken) recipe from a cooking class that I took years ago in Ko Samui. This is a recipe that I thought I'd lost, panicked then found, then lost, panicked and found again. I am sharing it with you guys today so I'll never lose it again! This recipe makes 1 portion, you can use shrimp instead chicken.

- 30g/1.06oz. narrow rice noodles (soaked in cold water for 10-15min. till they get soft. The key here is the "cold water" if you don't want soggy noodles when they're cooked)
- 30g/1.06oz. sliced chicken breast
- 2 tbsp. sunflower oil
- 1 egg
- 1 large garlic clove, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp. soy or Thai fish sauce (it is sweeter with soy sauce, but the flavor is deeper with fish sauce)
- 1 tbsp. Thai chili sauce
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1-2 drop of dark soy sauce for color and caramelization
- 1/2 tsp. dried shrimps
- 1 tbsp. dried pickled radish or tofu
- 1 tbsp. roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup. water
- 1/2 cup. bean spouts and spring onion, cut into 2.5 cm long
- 1 tbsp. Thai chili powder (optional)
- 1 lime slice

1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pan or wok. Add garlic and stir just until you can smell it cooking. Add the egg and stir until it's cooked. Add in chicken and stir until cooked.
2. Add water, turn the heat down to medium-low. Mix chili sauce, oyster sauce, soy or fish sauce, sugar, dark soy sauce and add it to the pan.
3. Turn the heat back up to medium. Stir in noodles, dried shrimps, pickled radish and roasted peanuts. Cook for 9-10 minutes or until noodles are soft and cooked to your liking.
4. Add bean sprouts and spring onion. Stir for about 3 minutes, turn off the heat and taste.
5. Serve with chili powder and a squeeze of lime. Chili powder is optional but DO NOT skip the lime. It does make a big difference! (AND we need a lime emoji💚)
