I don’t know about you all, but fermented foods like kimchi and pickles are my favorite. Their tangy, acidic flavors are just so delicious and unique. They’re sort of like pallet cleansers, if you know what I mean. And the best part? They’re real healthy… Fermentation is basically this process in which a bunch of…

Butter with no Dairy?
Generally, I’m not really a butter person. Ever since I became attracted to avocado toast, butter hasn’t gotten a second glance in the refrigerator. Even when I was younger, the classic dairy product was still inferior to other garnishes like cream cheese or jam. However, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by my mom’s newest…
Trader Joe’s: Top 10
Hey! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these… Opening Note: I’m going to assume that most of you have been to Trader Joe’s before, but if that’s not the case, go check it out (especially if you’re tired of Safeway, Whole Foods, etc)! Trader Joe’s most certainly falls under that “more than…
Meatless Mondays
Have you ever tried a vegetarian or vegan diet? It’s tough, because animal products are such a big part of the culinary world. It’s one of those things that you try with a super open mind and stick with it for maybe a week before dropping out. That’s why my family and I have decided,…

A Holiday Classic: The Candy Cane
Is it just me, or do I always seem to stumble upon candy canes, wherever I go… An iconic holiday treat, candy canes have quickly turned into one of my favorite winter treats (though not the healthiest). Their long lasting texture and frosty peppermint flavor make them unreasonably hard to resist. My teacher had a…
Not so bad!
The first thing that my family and I do when at a Japanese restaurant is look for the Agadashi tofu! Ever since we’ve gotten into this delicious east Asian cuisine, those fried tofu squares have never left the spotlight. They’re no doubt our favorite! When you’ve found a food that you’re into, it’s never a…
Basically the Korean McDonalds…
Replace bread with rice, burger meat with Korean style beef, lettuce with kimchi, and ketchup with teriyaki sauce. The result: an absolute delight from Koja Kitchen. Over the past few years, fusion food has become increasingly popular. Koja Kitchen really represents that popularity through its amazing alterations of typical American foods. It’s basically the Korean…
2 in 1: Crispy Pork Shank
“Oh my goodness! What is that?” was my ecstatic reaction when my mom called me down to try a new after school “snack”… In my previous post, Craved Curried Couscous, I wrote about the power smell and how it draws you toward a food even if you’ve never tasted it before. Have you ever heard the…
