Recipe of Tteokbokki!


Today, I will introduce how to make Tteokbokki which is is a popular Korean rice cake snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors.
When I miss spicy food in Australia, I usually make this!
This is quite spicy but we can add cheese to reduce spicy taste.
I'm gonna show you guys how to make Cheese Tteokbokki. Let's start~!

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 bowl of rice cake

- 1 bowl cheese

- 4 cups of water

- 1/2 spring onion

- 1/2 carrot

- 1/2 onion

- 15 dried anchovy, with heads and intestines removed

- 1/3 cup chili pepper paste

- 2/3 tbs diced garlic

- 2 tbs honey
1. Add the water, dried anchovies to a pot or pan.
 
2. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes over medium high heat without the lid.

3. Remove the anchovies from the pot and add the rice cake to a pot. Add chili pepper paste, garlic, vegetables, honey to a pot.
 
4. Stir gently with a wooden spoon when it starts to boil. Keep stirring until the rice cake turns soft and the sauce thickens and looks shiny, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.

Art & Alive
Artistic skills can be used to produce food, not only the skill, but draws out higher cognitive faculty the ability.

 Food can transmit the significance, including some complex and diverse significances, implying bigger narration.
Mona Lisa & Venus's birth.

Food can also become a tool or the inspiration initiates a human better quality.
Is it art? If you still think that this issue is so important, we can only say, you would know that when you eat it.

Korean eating habits

Hi guys! I wanna post about Korean eating habits.
I want to introduce usual Korean meal firstly.



Korean eat this typed 3 meals a day at home usually. We usually eat rice and soup for each people and share various side dishes with family or friends. In this picture, there is Bibimbap which is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with sauteed and seasoned vegetables and chili pepper paste instead of rice. I love bibimbap and especially Dolsot bibimbap which is served in a very hot stone bowl in which a raw egg is cooked against the sides of the bowl.
That was our usual meal, actually home version. From now, I am gonna tell you about favourite food which Korean people enjoy to eat out.

This is called Samgyupsal!!
This is pork belly meat and we usually eat this at barbecue party as well. And commonly we also grilled sliced raw onions, galic, mushrooms and kimchi with meat. We have common way to eat this. It is to place this grilled pork in vegetables like lettuce and sesame leaf with some cooked rice and special paste and to roll it up in the leaf and eat it.

Lastly, I am gonna tell you about some midnight snack.
When we feel hungry at late time, we usually call delivery for some food like chicken, pizza, bossam which is steamed or roasted pork.

To here, I told you guys Korean eating habit and I will post some korean food recipe that I can make later.
I am gonna show you short video about bibimbap, which I mentioned shortly before, ad. This was made for NY Times Square. Enjoy it!

Japanese people's eating habits

Do you know Japanese food is the one of the most healthy food in the world?

Recently Japanese people's eating habits are changing because western food is coming. Many people eats western food normally (of course, me too!). I think one of the reasons is it's "easier to cook" than Japanese food!!

BUT 

Japanese food is good for you!!!!
I will show you, don't worried LOL

Breakfast

It looks so healthy doesn't it?! rice, fish, egg, seaweed, miso soup, green tea!!
sooooooo delicious!! If you don't want to make miso soup in the morning, you can make it the night before! I always do that:)


Lunch

That's fried rice. When I went back to Japan last time, my grandpa made it for me;) so yummy!!!
It's so simple and easy to make. Just chopped some vegetables and meat then fried and put rice.
He put onions, green capsicums, carrots and bacon that time.


Dinner

It's steam vegetables and meat, one of my favourite japanese food! It's so healthy because no oil at all! 
You can eat it at restaurant of course, and can cook at your house as well:) If you haven't tried it before you SHOULD try it!

I think you feel like eating japanese food so badly right?! haha I promise it's tasty and good for your body! and YOU CAN DEFINITELY ENJOY IT!!
