In every bond we forge, whether with a partner, a friend, or a loved one, the depth of their care for us can be measured by the extent to which they consider us. It is an exquisite reflection of their love and respect for who we are.
When we are held in high regard and cherished, it is evident in the thoughtfulness that permeates our interactions. They listen attentively to our words, offer a comforting presence in times of distress, and make choices that honor our well-being. In their consideration, we find a profound affirmation of their love.
I want to thank this girl for being a friend and sister - the one I can count on. Thank you for always being there for me and for sacrificing your chance to get a closer glimpse/interaction with Sehun during the EXO press conference. I’m blessed to have you in my life. May God continue to shower you with abundance, peace, joy and love. Happy birthday Julee Oh. 😘
To more spazzing sessions and EXO concerts in the years to come. && to more winning raffle tickets so you could see the bulge. 😉💛🌻
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil or neutral-flavored cooking oil
Optional additions:
1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) for extra spice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Other vegetables: thin strips of carrot, onion slices
Dipping sauce ingredients:
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
A pinch of sugar
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, potato/corn starch, kimchi, kimchi juice, egg, water, and scallions. (Include any optional ingredients you'd like). Mix until a slightly thick batter forms.
Heat the pan: Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the hot pan, spreading it into a thin, even circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Add sesame seeds if desired.
Serve: Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
Tips:
Well-fermented kimchi: Using older, well-fermented kimchi provides the best flavor and acidity.
Consistency check: The batter should be the consistency of a slightly thick pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water. If it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook one or two pancakes at a time to achieve the best crispiness and an even cook.
Experiment: Feel free to add seafood, thinly sliced pork, or other vegetables to your pancakes.
One of my favorite things to make for a picnic or bento boxes is Kimbap, also known as Korean Seaweed Rice Rolls. Kimbap is easy to make at home, and you can customize it with any filling you choose. Today we are making a vegetarian recipe, but you can add bulgogi beef, canned tuna, or fish cakes! You would never know that this delicious kimbap has five vegetables!

609 Bedtime Story - currently a favorite dish but it only just started so I’m not sure if it’s all that reliable as a main meal yet, so it’s the appetizer
I Will Knock You - whatever, it’s like not very good bread rolls, filler
My School President - it’s tasty and from a reliable kitchen but not exactly health food so it’s like a yummy side dish, mac & cheese maybe?
Eternal Yesterday - I’m allergic so = PAIN but like I HAVE to eat it so I palate cleanse before and after to balance
My Tooth You Love - the best dish of the day to compensate for suffering
And today, hopefully, Semantic Error movie! Like the worlds greatest pudding course
(Meanwhile I watched eps 3-4 of Oh My Assistant last night and it’s unexpectedly fantastic and weirdly Korea + Japan. So oooo, new fusion food!)
The temptation to say 'fuck this' and just go to Wendy's for lunch even tho I have stuff to do at home and don't really have extra money for takeout rn
