Yangpun Bibimbap

This is one of our favourite meals. I can proudly say that I can make it better than some restaurants too. :)

Yangpun is a kind of salad bowl, and Bibimbap is boiled rice with various vegetables and Gochujang sauce. People usually share the whole bowl (scoop and eat from the bowl),
so some foreigners might not like this idea, however it seems to taste nicer to me simply because we share the joy of the food together.

Egg Fried Rice

Apparently my husband has a wheat allergy.

A Chinese medicine doctor recommend me not to feed him wheat products. So he’s cut out bread for breakfast, and I had to think what to feed him.I came up with egg and rice (that’s what we call this meal). I used to have this meal when I was a baby. It is not spicy at all. So it can be a good baby’s weaning food.
It’s very simple to cook. My husband can do it. So pretty much anyone can make it.

The ingredients are (for one person)egg and rice 1
-expected cooking time ; 3mins

  • Little olive oil (You can use other oil, my husband specifically likes extra virgin olive oil)
  • 15ml soy sauce (really just a dash)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup of Steamed Rice

-Cooking-

1. Turn the gas on. Heat the wok about a minute.

2. Put some oil into a wok. (You can try with frying pan, however you can lose some rice when you stir.)

3. Break the egg into a wok.
