Ingredients

Serves 2

½ cup short grain rice (aka sushi rice) soaked in cold water for 1 hour

¼ cup pine nuts, rinsed and drained

3 cups water

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 large jujubes and several pine nuts for garnish (optional)

Directions

Drain the soaked rice and add it to your blender. Add the pine nuts and water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and milky.

lemon boy | @yhsan

— location: nokseodang

yiseul was given little direction when she arrived in yunhwa. her editor had merely sent her the brochure and an address to the apartment the magazine was paying for, much left the writer little instruction, and without a plan. but one place she had heard of, one she was given to by a fellow writer was nokseodang, a small traditional korean medical center. therefore her first day in yunhwa she had approached the head doctor, explaining her book idea and how she wanted to learn how doctor kang blended medicine and meals to help heal his patients.

somehow, yiseul had convinced the old man ( though he grumbled every time she appeared ) to let her observe his work. for the past month, she would visit nokseodang three times a week, first learning how doctor kang used one ingredient for health benefits, another day to actually cook with it and another just to hear any old stories the man had. for someone as reserved as yiseul it was a blessing in disguise, the old man never pushed her to speak nor did his assistant leaving a tranquil mood whenever yiseul visited.

today was no different. this week yiseul had planned to make jatjuk, having never made it before she was curious on the process. what she didn’t expect was having to find her own pinenuts.

she had climbed around the surrounding areas in hopes to find pinenuts on her path. and while it took a bit of time, her reddening nose and flush cheeks just evidence of her adventures into the woods, she headed over to the building hoping to see doctor kang free of patients to oversee if she had picked the proper amount of nuts for the soup.

as she shyly peeked her head in, she was met with not an older man but instead san, the young apprentice being the only one in the room.

“oh...hello,” her words a bit stilled, unsure how to refer to the man in front of her, he might have been younger but he was training to be a doctor right? “lee san-ssi, sorry to bother you so early in the morning.” she said as she bowed not realizing that she was also lowering the basket of pinenuts in her arms, causing some of the nuts to spill over.

“..oh, i’m sorry i-”

Crying in H mart.

Maybe there's a theory already out there, but a book to become a classic, the readers should be able to taste the food described while reading it; The Grapes of Wrath, Far Away Drums, Zorba the Greek, etc. In a sense, it aligns with the trend of Mukbang; eating shows on YouTube.

This book is about the comradeship of women who are fighting for life; Umma, Michelle, Kye and Nami. Food is the ingredients that bond them together under the harshness of their lives. As a Hapa, Michelle tells the unique story of a strong woman to find the other identity, love and career as a musician (or food industry worker?). The story tasted very raw but soothing like jatjuk.

John Kim, astronaut, said representation matters. Hope Michelle becomes another one. :D

Japanese Breakfast September 18, 2017 at the Valley Bar, Phoenix AZ [Touring for her Soft Sounds From Another Planet album]

Michelle Zauner is inspiring. I wish I had read up on her more prior to the show, but as an Asian American woman, she inspires me. Throughout the show I heard of publishing works, stressing about directorial deadlines and of course she’s on tour for her second “official” solo album. If that’s not creativity overload I don’t know what is! BUT, I just ended up going last minute after acquainting myself to a few of her top songs and the recommendations from many a friend that I should go... and I’m so glad I did!

I stepped down the stairwell into the basement venue that is Valley Bar and it was pretty full and with a 21 and under side. Would I be able to get front row since it’s not fair and square? Yes, I spied Dream pop Jesse and he was my partner in crime for the night, letting me stand right next to him left of center when I noticed him from the Under 21 side (sometimes the views are better from there). It helps that I’m short, too, that I didn’t annoy anyone too much.

What I heard of the first opening band, The Spirit of the Beehive, I liked, sometimes they got a wee bit more raucous then I prefer, but overall I dug their sound outputs. Next up was Mannequin Pussy, who were even louder. It was the band that had people that looked like other people. The guitarist looked like a friend and the singer had a look similar to Sarah Michelle Gellar in some regards, but obviously a better singing voice from soft to guttural. And then... Japanese Breakfast! Michelle was so petite and cute in her white outfit, awesome tattoos and fun lit up “Millenial Sneakers” that tripped her up on occasion.

I joked on my Instagram that I was having Japanese Breakfast for dinner that night and that it was quite tasty if concerts were meals. The band opened with “Diving Woman,” which was a dreamy chill start I enjoyed as an appetizer.

She mentioned a song that Phoenix inspired as she and her band drove through on their last tour... and how the wheel to their Honda Odyssey Tour Van kept pulling to the right something fierce and how Phoenix’s hot summer melted the tires of the van leading to an $800 re-tire.

She kept it real and stayed on stage and said no encore on off stage crap and started with one of my favorites: “Everybody Wants to Love You,” with her drummer adding vocals. 

Michelle introduced “Machinist” as a song about being in love with a Robot. It’s the song that made me think at times her outputs sound like Polica.

Dreampop Jesse got the setlist, and then when the bassist passed by at the shows end we motioned setlist setlist with our hands and he handed us 2 from behind the drum kit. I gave one to another fan garnering good set list karma and headed to the merch booth. When I got to the table I was ecstatic about weird but fitting merch, this time, Chopsticks. I let out a yelp and said it’d be my second set of music merch chopsticks. Michelle asked which band, and I replied Shonen Knife, which we agreed were fitting. I did note that her chopsticks were correctly shapped in Japanese style whereas Shonen’s was Chinese style. Maybe next time she’ll do a Korean metal spoon and chopstick set.

After reading up a bit, I had ah moments with regards to the drum kit artwork being a Korean woman in traditional outfit but then why Japanese Breakfast? Ah, she put two words together that are one part Asian and one part American. Asian American, not specifically which Asian. After readying her Essay on her mom and Korean food, I so could’ve chatted Maangchi and Jatjuk with her! Hopefully she and her band swings by again!

Korean Pine Nut Porridge

Made this today using Maangchi's recipe which can be found here http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/jatjuk.  However for my version, I used brown rice and didn't grind it up as much - Maangchi's version looked a little too smooth for me. Still turned out brilliantly!

Here are the ingredients (For one)

About 5 tablespoons of brown rice (which has been soaked for 2 hours), 2 tablespoons of pine nuts, salt and water.

Here's how to do it!

1. Remove the tips from the pine nuts and place them in a blender with the rice and 400ml of water.

2. Blitz for about 2 minutes on high - you can go for longer if you want a smoother porridge.

3. Pour the rice mixture into a heavy bottom pan and cook over medium heat, stirring all the time. 

4. After the mixture has thickened slightly, turn the heat to low and add salt to taste. Continue stirring until the little bits of rice are cooked through and the porridge has thinned out slightly.

Garnish with more pine nuts and serve hot. Love this recipe - so so comforting!
