[EN/한국어]

Yogurt, cucumber and herb salad with Israeli spice mix.

100g/3.5oz. organic Greek yogurt
1 small cucumber, sliced
12g/0.4oz. herbs of your choice (I used baby arugula, mint and dill)
1 tbsp. EVOO
2 tsp. Israeli spice mix

I bought this magical spice mix at the market in Jerusalem in April, and now I'm struggling to find out what it's called. I was told it is commonly mixed in the rice in Israeli cuisine, and the market had so many varieties that were all delicious and fragrant. I think I might have identified some of the ingredients; oil, salt, garlic, onion, pistachio, lentil, dried herbs, ground turmeric, cumin and maybe ground coriander (there's something citrusy in there) and mild dried red pepper flakes. But this mix is so beautifully complex and aromatic, even if the ingredients I listed were correct, there must be so much more going on. I regret not asking the guy at the store about every single thing that goes in even though it was Friday afternoon, a day before Shabbat, and the market was absolutely chaotic to say the least. I posted a close up photo of the spice mix on my story, I would be eternally grateful if any of you my foodie friends could help me identify it❤️

요거트, 오이, 허브와 이스라엘 향신료 믹스 샐러드입니다.

유기농 그릭요거트 100그램
썬 오이 한개
베이비 루골라, 민트, 딜(또는 각자 좋아하는 허브) 12그램
엑스트라버진 올리브오일 한큰술
이스라엘 향신료믹스 2 작은술

4월에 예루살렘의 시장에서 너무 맛있는 향신료믹스를 사왔는데요, 살때 이름을 못물어봐서 찾아보느라 애를 먹고있어요. 가장바쁜때인 샤바트(안식일) 전날인 금요일 오후여서 정말 시장이 제대로 시장통이였거든요😂 일단 맛, 냄새, 색과 모양으로 본 결과 여러가지의 말린 허브, 오일, 소금, 마늘, 양파, 렌틸콩, 피스타치오, 강황가루, 큐민가루, 코리엔더가루, 빻은 맵지않은 말린고추 정도가 들어간것 같은데요. 워낙에 여러가지의 맛과 향이 조화되어 있어 설령 제가 생각한 재료들이 정답이라 할지라도 훨씬 더 많은 재료들이 들어가 있을것 같아요. 좀 정신없어도 물어볼것을...후회되네요. 스토리에 사진을 올렸는데요, 혹시 이름이 먼지 아시는 분 계실까요? 있으시면 꼭 꼭 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다❤️

[EN/한국어] Breakfast for two😋 Sourdough to

[EN/한국어]

Breakfast for two😋 Sourdough toasts with no-mayo jammy egg salad. Delicious, healthy and satisfying, perfect for hubs who cannot stand mayonnaises😉 The secret to creamy egg salad without mayo is to not boil the eggs too hard. Somewhere between runny and hard, about 8-9min. (depending on the size of the eggs) will give you perfect jammy yolk to be mixed with Dijon mustard and evoo for the ultimate breakfast toasts. I used 5 medium sized eggs with 2-2 1/2tbsp. Dijon mustard and extra virgin olive oil each (no need to be precise here😉) then served the egg salad with chopped scallions, Himalayan pink salt and crushed red pepper.

마요네즈를 싫어하는 남편을 위해 만든 든든한 아침식사, 건강버전 에그샐러드 사워도우 브레드 토스트입니다. 8분정도 삶아 살짝 꾸덕꾸덕한 노른자의 달걀 다섯개에 디죵 머스타드, 엑스트라버진 올리브오일 각각을 2-2 1/2 큰술정도넣고 섞어준후 (기호에 맞게 덜넣거나 더넣으셔도 되요) 잘 구워진 토스트, 잘게썬 쪽파, 히말라얀 핑크솔트, 크러쉬드 레드페퍼와 플레이팅 했습니다.

[EN/한국어]

Organic micro greens, semi-dried tomato, mandarin and walnut salad with agave syrup, evoo and lemon dressing.

I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since my last post! I've been having incredibly busy days; trying to find an apartment, taking hubs to doctor's appointments for his broken toe and everything else in between. To be honest I haven't been very good at managing my stress level and eating healthy in the past few weeks. But it cannot last any longer🙅🏻‍♀️I'm trying to get into my regular routine of exercising and having at least one healthy meal a day. And this colorful vegan salad loaded with flavor, texture and nutrients has definitely motivated me to start fresh again💪🏻

50g/1.8oz. organic micro greens
35g/1.2oz. semi or sun dried tomatoes
2tsp. organic agave syrup
2tsp. evoo
2tsp. lemon juice
a handful of walnuts and sliced mandarin
zest of 1/2 lemon

마지막 포스팅한지 3주나 되었네요. 집도보러 다니고 남편 발가락 골절때문에 병원도 다니고 이런저런 일들이 많아 정신없이 보내고 있어요. 그렇다보니 스트레스 조절도 잘 안되고 건강하게 잘 챙겨먹기도 쉽지 않았구요😢 이제 다시 규칙적으로 운동도 시작하고 최소 하루 한끼는 건강하게 먹으려고요. 오늘 포스팅한 맛있고 알록달록한 영양만점 비건 샐러드덕에 좋은 기운을 듬뿍 받았어요. 유기농 베이비채소, 반건조 토마토, 카라향, 호두 샐러드와 아가베시럽, 엑스트라버진 올리브오일, 레몬 드레싱 입니다.

유기농 베이비채소 50그램
반건조 토마토 35그램

엑스트라버진 올리브오일 2티스푼
생 레몬즙 2티스푼

Plate cooked vegetables with fried eggs and pickled chili🌶

I'm back in Seoul after 145 days, 6 countries, 9 cities, 8 Covid tests (luckily all negative), and memories that will last a lifetime. Please don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to have been able to do what I did but at the same time I am sooo travelled out. Traveling in the middle of the pandemic and a war happening so close to N. East Asia was not easy. And if you learned about the drama I had before going to Israel from my previous post, you'll understand how exhausting I must feel. Fortunately I came back to Korea safely without too big a drama, (there was a little one but I got through it). I am so looking forward to not going anywhere, resting, cooking and eating delicious foods and enjoying Seoul's beautiful spring and summer for a little while❤️

샌디에고에서 마지막으로 만든 아침식사, 달걀후라이, 컬리플라워 라이스, 투스칸케일과 마늘, 칠리피클입니다. 저는 홀푸즈의 필라프 스타일의 컬리플라워 라이스를 썼는데요, 한국에도 다양한 종류로 구입이 가능하니 기호에 맞게 골라 사용하세요. 각각 조리방법이 다를테니 포장설명을 참고해 주세요.

컬리플라워 라이스 3컵을 논스틱팬에 넣고 3-4분간 중불에 저어가며 조리한후 썬 투스칸 케일 100그램과 마늘 4쪽을 넣었습니다. 재료가 붙지않게 물과 올리브오일도 조금 넣었구요.
뚜껑을 1-2분간 덮었다가 열고 3-4분간 더 저어주며 요리합니다.
불을끄고 기호에 맞게 간한뒤 달걀후라이, 칠리피클과 그릇에 담아주면 완성입니다.

145일, 6개국, 9개의 도시, 8번의 코로나 테스트를 거쳐 서울에 돌아왔어요. 평생 기억에 남을 좋고 나쁜 (대부분 좋은) 추억들도 덤으로 가져왔습니다. 정말 값지고 즐거운 시간이였지만 한편으론 몸과 마음이 너무 지치기도 했어요. 아직 판데믹이 끝나지 않았고 우크라이나와 러시아의 전쟁으로 우리나라로 돌아오는 항공편의 일부에 지장이 생길수 밖에 없는 상황에 하는 여행이 쉽지만은 않더라구요. 특히 한국으로 오기전 마지막 여행지였던 이스라엘에 가기전, 또 도착해서도 스트레스 받을 일들이 생겨서 더 힘들었던것 같아요. 그래도 무사히 한국에 돌아와 너무 기쁩니다. 따뜻한 날씨에 맛있는것들도 먹고 쉴 생각에 벌써 힐링이 되네요😍

Breakfast in Tel Aviv💕 How gorgeous do they loo

Breakfast in Tel Aviv💕 How gorgeous do they look? There's no such thing as too much shakshuka my friends😋 This hotel buffet has one of the best breakfast spreads I've ever had in a long time.

Back in Israel after 12 years. Oh boy..what a dramatic way to get here. I've been traveling around the world for over 20 years and never had things going wrong as much as this time. First flight on 20th was indefinitely delayed resulting in rescheduling to two days later (at least this happened when we were just about to leave home in San Diego). Then the second flight on 22nd got canceled when we had been waiting at LAX (airport that will haunt me for the rest of my life) for 4 hours followed by another 4 and a half hours of waiting in line, arguing with airline people for the hotel voucher, rebooking of flight and compensation. Btw, I am traveling with 3 bags, which in total weigh about 20lbs heavier than me because my husband and I have been traveling for 5 months and we're flying back to Seoul after this trip. Eventually our flight got rescheduled to 24th. We had to fill in online immigration forms 3 times (you need to complete the form before the entry with all your flight info, the proof of vaccination and etc) and take 3 PCR tests in 5 days because Israel requires test being done in 72hrs before the flight, and another one on arrival at the airport. Good news is that I definitely do NOT have Covid, but instead I have a cold🤧 AND one of my husband's bags with 90% of his clothes and toiletry hadn't arrived from LAX until just now. Can you believe our luck? Anyways, we arrived in Tel Aviv on 25th. And this city is still beautiful and their food is as delicious as I remember. Against all odds I'm so glad that I got to spend at least a few days here.

Kimchi peanut butter linguine with sesame seeds. Y

Kimchi peanut butter linguine with sesame seeds. Yes you read it out, and I know it may sound nuts🥜..just hear me out😌 I was having dinner with my husband and his Korean American friend in Korea town a few months ago talking about unusual food people eat. There he says his dad's friend's favorite foods are Kimchi and peanut butter, and he eats them together all the time. My immediate reaction was "eww", no offense but at that time I had just started warming up to peanut butter, which I couldn't stand in the past. That combo just did not work well in my head. Then about a couple weeks ago I came across with an article by @emmalaperruque at @food52 "Spicy Noodles With Peanut Butter & Kimchi"..But this time it felt a little different. Probably because I've been enjoying peanut butter so much that it has become the staple like my beloved kimchi. This recipe sounded delicious and incredibly simple. And it made me realize that kimchi and peanut butter maybe the most quintessential Korean American food combo ever existed. Such a delicious dynamic duo I'd say😋 So I decided to give it a shot and experiment. Emma made cold noodles with the combo, but I was feeling for something a bit more warmer, so I decided to stir fry my kimchi. And since only type of noodle I had was linguine, I went all the way fusion and used it instead buying Asian noodle. And the result was fantastic. The dish was spicy, nutty and rich but not too heavy thanks to the acidity of kimchi. It's comforting, substantial and nutritious; a great way to fuel your body. One of the best true fusion meals I've ever made. ⁣
⁣
Cook 100g/3.5oz. linguine in salted boiling water for 8min.⁣
Meanwhile stir fry 125g/4.4oz. kimchi (cut to bite size) with 1tsp. olive oil in a non stick pan over medium - medium high heat for 4-5 minutes. ⁣
Add 3tbsp. unsweetened peanut butter and 2tsp. kimchi juice in a pan. Turn off the heat and mix well. ⁣
Once the pasta is ready, mix in the pan with 4-5tbsp. starchy pasta water.⁣
Season with a little bit of salt if necessary. ⁣
Plate and add freshly ground black pepper and sesame seeds. ⁣

So now I'm back in SD, and for the first time since my husband and I left Hong Kong and started our nomad life about a year ago, we are not staying at airbnb or hotel. Instead we moved into our own place! Well, we're only here for a few weeks, and have to fix up, furnish and decorate the place before we leave again so things are quite crazy to say the least. (We haven't even unpacked most of our stuff since we'll have to pack again soon😅) But I'm an interior decorator and hadn't worked on a project for a little while, so I'm trying to have as much fun as I'm exhausted😂 And this egg, veggie and fresh cheese combo was exactly what I needed in chaotic days like these💪🏻⁣

리코타 스크램블에그, 올리브오일에 볶은 무지개색 근대, 칼라마타 올리브, 멕시코치즈 케소 프레스코 (페타로 대용하셔도 되요)입니다. 며칠전 시댁식구들이 있는 샌디에고로 돌아왔어요. 작년 5월 홍콩을 떠나 떠돌이 생활을 시작한뒤 처음으로 에어비앤비나 호텔이 아닌 우리집으로 이사를 했어요! 몇주있다가 또 떠나야하고, 그사이 고장난것 고치고 가구에 데코에 다해야해서 영혼이 털리는 하루하루를 보내고 있습니다. 짐가방은 또 금방 싸야할거라 대부분 풀지도 않았구요😂 그래도 인테리어로 밥벌어 먹고 살다가 오랫동안 프로젝트를 쉬었던지라 피곤한만큼 재미도 있는것 같아요. 맛, 영양, 식감, 보기만해도 기분이 좋아지는 색감까지 모두 갖춘 요 아침식사덕에 힘이 나네요💪🏻⁣

⁣
Savory organic oatmeal with 7-minute jammy egg, avocado, grated Parmesan, chopped flat leaf parsley and Calabrian peppers from a jar. Pretty out there combo that looked weird to my husband again (he reacted the exact same way for my previous savory oatmeal😅). Having hot pepper with oatmeal might have been a little too much for him, but he could not help enjoying the flavor explosion in this bowl. If you're curious about what this savory oatmeal tastes like, please give it a shot, you maybe pleasantly surprised. ⁣
⁣
조금 독특한 재료들로 만들어본 짭짤한 오트밀입니다. 간단히 조리한 유기농 오트밀에 7분간 삶은 반숙란, 아보카도, 파마산치즈, 칼라브리안 칠리페퍼, 잘게 썬 이태리 파슬리를 넣었어요. 지난번 짭잘한 오트밀을 만들었을때와 마찬가지로 남편은 이상해 보인다고 하더군요, 그래놓고 먹기는 또 맛있게 잘 먹더라구요 ㅋㅋ 어떤 맛일지 궁금하시면 한번 시도해 보세요. 칼라브리안 칠리페퍼는 온라인으로 구매가 가능한듯 해요. ⁣
