What-is-in-the-fridge salad

Forgot to buy something at a grocery store? No problem. You can make this radish salad, using vegetables that can be kept in a fridge for several weeks. This 'quarantine' salad is easy to make and versatile as well. It is an appetizing side dish that is rich in fiber and anti-oxidants. You can keep this salad in a fridge for a week and pair it with buckwheat noodles, which would make a nice brunch! I would season the cooked buckwheat noodles with soy sauce and combine it

You can make Kimchi - Really.

Kimchi is the best-known Korean staple that I grew up with. It is a spicy fermented cabbage dish packed with vitamin C and probiotics. It used to be an important fall ritual to prepare for Kimchi that would sustain Koreans throughout winter when fresh vegetables were rare. It is Popeye's spinach for Koreans. If I have a bowl of rice, roasted seaweed, and Kimchi, I'm happy as a clam. Kimchi is more than a side dish and the most versatile dish I can think of. It provides a

Refreshing seaweed cucumber soup

Although this is a popular dish in Korea where I grew up, my first encounter with this salad was in Boston, when my friend served it for a crowd. As I was so used to eating brown seaweed in warm soup, brown seaweed and cucumber seemed like an odd combination. But I was intrigued. Just one spoonful of this soup was all I needed to appreciate the beauty of this dish. This cold soup has a depth that is difficult to find in a salad dish: savory flavors from the brown seaweed m

Pumpkin adzuki bean porridge: a skinny comfort superfood

What if you can make a healthy dessert or breakfast ahead of time with only 3 ingredients? When I saw a beautiful kabocha squash at a farmer's market the other day, it gave me inspiration for a dessert menu: porridge made of a kabocha and adzuki beans. The idea of making this dish thrills me every fall as this winter squash starts to show up in grocery stores. This porridge can serve as a healthy dessert, snack, or breakfast. The sweet and nutty flavor of the kabocha is to

Granola that will replace your cookies

I know what you must be thinking. I'm going out on a limb to say this out loud. This granola nearly banished my craving for sweet desserts except for these oatmeal and almond cookies. What I like about it is that just a handful of this granola is deeply satisfying. Not only would it cure the pang of your empty stomach in the late afternoon right away, but it would also become a go-to-dessert during your coffee breaks. This granola is composed of nuts, seeds, whole grains,

Refreshing Seafood Tom Yum Soup

Summer is officially upon us. As we seek more water, it is easy to lose appetite for meals. If you want to cook something light and refreshing for dinner, this recipe is the one. Tom yum soup is my favorite Thai food. I find its flavor profile especially appealing during summer: sweet, sour, and spicy. Tomatoes provide this soup a sweet and sour base. But what makes this soup so interesting is an exotic combination of lemongrass, fish sauce, and cilantro. If you have nev

A Speedy Recipe for Multi-grain Bread that Powers You Through a Day

Have you ever wondered whether store-bought, same old bread is inescapable? After all, it is time-consuming to make yeast bread from scratch, right? Not so fast. What if you can spoil your family with a homemade specialty bread in two hours, 75% of which is idle time? Let me put up a warning sign first. Once you try this recipe, there is no going back... I used to buy breakfast bagels at a local bakery. Only until I became quite happy with my rusty home-made bread. A majorit
