I’ve been into cooking
recently. My husband is good at
cooking (he even used to bake!!) and he has influenced me to enjoy the wonders
of the kitchen. It’s such an achievement
every time a recipe is cooked successfully, especially if it’s a new one you
are trying. Aside from the fact that I need to learn how to cook because I
already am a wife, I am cooking because it’s fun to learn, it feels great when
people appreciate and praise what you have cooked, and just the fact that you know how is such an
ego booster!! We love food thus we
experiment in cooking and we like exploring places with good food too (hello Milky & Sunny, you're next!!).
I love Korean food and my
husband has also been influenced! He didn’t use to like kimchi but has learned
to like it in time. He has also become accustomed to eating Korean food and his tolerance to spicy food has increased. ;)
A friend has
mentioned in Facebook once that her daughter cooks a mean kimchi fried rice, and so
I was reminded about the existence of this food, then I wondered why it never occurred to me to cook kimchi fried rice after all these years!! Unbelievable. So I noted.
Remembering my mental notes, I
and Melbina headed to Haneul Mart the day before his birthday to buy kimchi and other ingredients for the
food I’d be cooking the next day. I
cooked bokeum pap (kimchi fried rice) and japchae (stir-fried noodles with veggies). These are just two of our favorite Korean food.

Both dishes were successful!! I loved the kimchi rice, it was the best one I have cooked... the japchae was good too although I wished I had put more veggies. It was my first time cooking japchae, so lesson learned.
I will be writing about how to cook kimchi rice and japchae in my next post!
