Spicy Korean Chex Mix
Have you ever had furikake chex mix? It’s so so good. I made it (using Justonecookbook’s recipe) as part of my Christmas cookie box last Christmas and so many of my friends raved about it. This led me to think of making my own version, but Korean! I drew inspiration from tteokbokki and decided to mirror its flavor profile.
Perilla Leaf Kimchi (깻잎김치)
깻잎 (kkaennip) is a Korean herb that is quite popularly eaten as a wrap for KBBQ. It’s part of the mint family yet tastes completely different! I would say that it’s more earthy. I love this herb! And though it’s delicious eaten as a wrap, I also love it when made as a kimchi. The best thing about making it as kimchi is that it’s so much easier than other kimchi recipes! You just make the seasoning and slather it on each leaf. That’s it! You should always eat perilla leaf kimchi with rice though since it is very salty on its own.
Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
I love sun-dried tomatoes! They’re so good. And even better? Sun-dried tomato pesto! It’s great added to a sandwich, pasta, or anything else really. And what’s even better is that it is made with mostly pantry items, which means you can make it any time of the year.
Refrigerator Pickles
I love acidity in my foods. Which makes these quick refrigerator pickles so great! You don’t have to worry about canning and also they’re ready by the next day! I like to make these in bulk to munch on throughout the weeks.
Strawberry Matcha Latte
I have been making this drink everyday lately. It’s so good. Whenever I go to a cafe or boba shop and they have strawberry matcha latte, I always have to get it. I love it so much. So I thought, why not just make my own? So I did! :D
Peach Syrup (청)
I first found out about cheong (청) through MyCookingTree's youtube channel and have loved making these fruity delicious syrups ever since! They make such flavorful and delicious drinks, especially during the summer. You can let them sit outside longer to ferment and even turn a bit vinegary, which adds a nice tang!
Peach Galette
I love galettes. They’re so simple and easy to make yet they’re so pretty and delicious as well! Add peaches to this? Even better! :D
Peach Caprese Salad
This dish is really simple yet refreshing. It calls for minimal ingredients so having ripe and delicious tomatoes and peaches is definitely called for! Also, having high quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil definitely help as well! This dish is perfect for the hot summer!
Japanese Egg Sandwich
I love tamago sando. It’s so so easy to make yet so delicious and packed with flavor. I would always request my mom to make this sandwich as a kid and eating this sandwich always brings me childhood memories of nostalgia. :)
Greek Salad
I had a phase where I made this salad every week. I am in love with acidity in food and so this salad with red wine vinegar and pepperoncinis just hits the spot for me. You can also add cucumbers and tomatoes as well!
