I Went K-Crazy Again

Before the MCO, I bought another cookbook. I know. I told myself that I must not buy anymore cookbooks because I have too many already.

But I can't help it. Because.....

My favorite Korean lady's cookbook, so how could I resist? So in keeping with the Korean spirit, I made kimchi using the recipe from the book.

Then I got creative and decided to kimchi some cauliflower.

I mean, why not, right?

So I ended up with two containers of regular kimchi and one container of cauliflower kimchi. I kept the containers in the fridge so that the kimchi stays fresh longer (I prefer it that way) and the fermentation will take place slowly.

I loved the cauliflower kimchi. The cauliflower is crunchy combined with radish, carrots and spring onions in kimchi paste.

I also enjoyed the regular kimchi. I tweaked the recipe a little bit and it tasted so much better than my first attempt.

Since I was on a Korean theme, I ordered some Korean fried chicken. After all, it was Sunday, enjoy a bit lah.

Not bad. I ate with rice and my homemade kimchi.

This way I made it a more balanced meal.

I also meal prepped because I am tired of eating out. Besides, it is expensive. Among the things I prepped is this recipe from Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking.

Soy Butter Pan Grilled Chicken. Now I know the secret of that elusive aroma that I find in grilled chicken at the Japanese restaurants - it's butter!

It is a simple recipe and I loved it. I don't have time to type out the recipe but you can follow this recipe from Maangchi.com.

I hope I to keep up with my meal preps!
