Happy Lunar New Year!🧧 Here's my pork and kimch

I know I'm a little late but Happy New Year guys!

[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💚)

[EN/한국어] Avocado sourdough toasts with fet

[EN/한국어]

Avocado sourdough toasts with feta, capers, lime and dill. Simple, beautiful, healthy and delicious, pretty much everything you'd want for your Monday brunch. Well, I started making this as a breakfast but it became almost lunch time when I was done plating and taking photos..I got so hungry in the process that I ended up having a bite of the toasts😁 Happy Monday!

페타, 케이퍼, 라임, 딜을 곁들인 아보카도 사워도우 토스트입니다. 심플하고 보기좋고 맛도 영양도 풍부한 요녀석, 월요일 브런치메뉴로 더할나위 없죠. 사실 아침으로 만들기 시작했는데 플레이팅하고 사진 찍고 나니 거의 점심 먹을 시간이 되어버렸더라구요. 중간에 너무 배가고파져서 토스트 한입을 베어먹어 버렸습니다..😅 모두들 건강한 한주 되세요!

[EN/한국어] Creamy fluffy scrambled eggs, smok

[EN/한국어]

Creamy fluffy scrambled eggs, smoked wild salmon with cherry tomato and green salad. Eggs, salmon, tomatoes and veggies; a typical breakfast I have all the time prepared slightly differently this time.

I added a little milk (lactose free of course) in my scrambled egg, and used a little bit of butter. I'm more of an olive gal at heart but I've been enjoying the flavor of butter in my eggs lately thanks to hubs, who's definitely more of a butter boy😌. For the green salad, I added a little handful of celery leaves, which is wonderfully bitter and peppery. The vinaigrette dressing had a little more red wine vinegar than usual in order to balance out the richness of the eggs. Salmon I used this time is wild smoked salmon, slightly pricier than the regular ones but worth every penny. The deep coral color is just so gorgeous to look at and it is much less fatty too. Lastly, instead of freshly ground black pepper I sprinkled a little toasted sesame seeds, which I had done for the last two posts as well. I just can't get enough of the savoriness and crunchinesses of this Asian staple these days, and surprisingly they seem to go with pretty much anything I make😋 Hope you're all starting your week with healthy and delicious breakfast like mine. Happy Monday!

크리미하고 폭신한 스크램블에그, 자연산 훈제연어, 방울토마토와 녹색잎 샐러드입니다. 달걀, 연어, 토마토, 녹색채소는 제가 가장 자주 먹는 아침식사 재료들인데요, 이번엔 살짝 다르게 준비해봤어요. 스크램블에그에 유당이 없는 우유를 조금 넣고 항상쓰던 올리브오일 대신 버터를 조금 사용했어요. 전 오일파이지만 버터파인 남편덕에 요즘 입맛이 쬐금씩 바뀌는가봐요😏 녹색잎 샐러드엔 처음으로 샐러리 잎을 넣어봤습니다. 쌉쌀하고 알싸한 맛이 참 좋네요. 스크램블에그의 느끼함을 잡기위해 엑스트라버진 올리브오일, 식초 샐러드 드레싱엔 레드와인 식초를 평소보다 더 듬뿍 넣었구요. 훈제연어는 자연산을 써봤는데요, 조금 비싸긴 하지만 그럴만한 가치가 있네요. 지방도 훨씬적고, 깊은 코럴 색상도 너무 예쁘고요. 마지막으로 생으로 간 블랙페퍼대신 볶은 참깨를 뿌렸어요. 요즘 참깨의 고소함에 푹빠져 모든 음식에 넣고 있습니다. 은근히 다 잘 어울리더라구요. 다들 저처럼 맛있고 건강한 아침식사로 한주를 시작하셨길 바랄게요.

[EN/한국어] Refreshing, tangy, peppery, sweet

[EN/한국어]

Refreshing, tangy, peppery, sweet and savory salad highlighting one of the most underrated vegetables in my opinion. Cucumber salad with pickled onion, radish sprouts, dried cranberries, sumac and sesame seeds.

120g/4.2oz. cucumber
30g/1.05oz. sliced onion, lightly pickled in red wine vinegar for 20-30min.

generous drizzle of evoo
a little pinch of sumac and a sprinkle of sesame seeds
salt and pepper to taste

시원함이 특징이지만 자칫 심심할수 있는 오이를 이용해 상큼, 새콤, 달콤, 알싸함, 고소함을 듬뿍담은 건강한 샐러드를 만들어봤어요.

오이 120그램
썬 양파 30그램 - 레드와인 식초에 2-30분정도 절여주세요.
적무순 10그램
말린 크렌베리 작은 한줌

수막가루와 볶은참깨 조금

[EN/한국어] Back in Bangkok 🇹🇭. I didn't

[EN/한국어]

Back in Bangkok 🇹🇭. I didn't have much time to cook during my Korean trip at all this time, but I managed to put together a type of simple and wholesome meal that I truly enjoy before I left. Here's my homage to one of the most humble yet beautiful and delicious Korean dishes; bibimbap with multi grain rice, acorn jelly, perilla leaves, soft boiled egg, kimchi, gim(dried seaweed), sesame seeds with soy sauce and Korean red pepepper powder(gochugaru)😋

1 cooked multi-grain @cjhetbahn
90g/3.2oz. acorn jelly
15g/0.5oz. perilla leaves
1 (7-8min.) soft boiled egg
Kimchi - as much as you like
sprinkle of gim, sesame seeds
1:4 = gochugaru : soy sauce to taste (the amount of sauce/seasoning you need will depend on how much kimchi you are using)
a little drizzle of perilla or sesame oil

며칠전 방콕으로 돌아왔습니다. 이번 한국 방문은 정말 눈 깜짝할 사이에 지나간듯해요. 요리할 시간이 거의 없을때 정말 뚝딱 만든 건강하고 든든한 한끼. 떠나기전 제 스타일로 만들어본 가장 서민적이면서 아름답고 맛있는 우리의 한식중 하나인 비빔밥입니다.

조리된 잡곡 햇반 하나
도토리묵 90그램
깻잎 15그램
7-8분 정도 삶은 반숙란 하나
적당한 양의 김치
김, 참깨 조금
4:1 비율의 간장 : 고춧가루 (김치를 얼마나 넣느냐에따라 소스의 양은 달라지니 기호에 맞게 넣어드세요)
들기름 또는 참기름 조금

[EN/한국어] Having one of the four locations o

[EN/한국어]

Having one of the four locations of @gucciosteria in the world proves that Seoul is not only a great city for Korean food but also becoming one of the hottest cities in terms of international food scene. I've always regretted not dining at Osteria Francescana by chef @massimobottura when I was in Modena so it was about time that I came here to experience his magic. 7-course tasting menu I had was impeccably presented and absolutely delicious. Farinata (chickpea pancake with stracciatella, cherry tomato confit, olive, caper and etc) was my favorite among them. It was hard to believe such a dainty and almost too beautiful to eat dish could have an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Tasting Hanwoo beef in chef's signature Emilia burger was also an amazing experience and Charley Marley, a dessert named after chef's chocolate loving son was just heaven on earth. The restaurant is small and rather cosy but gorgeous, and every inch of the space from tableware to manager's green suit has a chic Gucci touch💚 I would gladly come back here and sample some of the dishes from their a la carte menu next time🍽

너무나 유명하신 마시모 보투라 셰프님의 이름을 걸고 오픈한 구찌오스테리아에 다녀왔어요. 전세계에 4개뿐인 레스토랑인데 그 중 하나가 한남동에 있다는건 서울이 명실상부한 미식의 도시로 자리잡고 있다는 뜻이겠죠? 이태리 모데나에 갔을때 셰프님의 레스토랑 오스테리아 프란체스카나에 못가본걸 항상 안타까워하고 있었기에 이곳은 더욱더 꼭 와보고 싶었어요. 제가 먹은 7코스 테이스팅 메뉴들은 플레이팅도 맛도 정말 훌륭했습니다. 저는 특히 프리나타(스트라치아텔라, 콩피 토마토, 올리브, 케이퍼를 곁들인 병아리콩가루 팬케잌)가 가장 좋았구요. 한우패티를 이용한 셰프님의 시그니쳐 에밀리아 버거도 맛있었습니다. 초콜렛을 좋아하는 아들의 이름을 딴 디져트 찰리말리 역시 최고였구요. 작지만 아름다운 공간은 접시, 작은 소품에서부터 매니져님의 그린수트까지 시크한 구찌의 터치로 가득했습니다. 다음에 방문해서 단품메뉴의 음식들도 꼭 먹어봐야 겠어요💚
