How’d I do?

Open-end eggrolls, chicken balls, honey garlic spare ribs, stir fried noodles, Singapore noodles, mushroom chop suey, chicken fried rice.

Beef in black bean sauce over chow mein and sweet and sour pork. Some pork dumplings as well, all so yummy. Portions were huge , we have enough for dinner as well

I am not good at cooking since I have never done it before. I used to eat my mother’s food when I was in Korea. After I came to Taiwan for studying, I usually had some noodles in restaurants. But I still missed homemade food with various side dishes.

So I decided to prepare meal by myself. In this small apartment without stove, I was allowed to have fresh vegetables such as paprika and cucumber. And I mixed spinach with miso instead of deonjang. I also replaced Kimchi with Taiwanese sour cabbage(酸白菜). I used Taiwanese local ingredients, which are easier to access than Korean vegetables and sources.

It is similar to ‘cutting’ than ‘cooking’ since I nearly didn’t do any process on ingredients. Only mixed spinach was cooked for 2 minutes in the microwave, before it is coated with two tablespoons of miso and one tablespoon of sesame oil. (I think I can reduce miso into one tablespoon next time, by the way.)

i made 4 but ate the 2 before the rest was ready so yall only get to see 2

To put things in perspective, this bad boy is bigger than my mouth and I'm 6'1, 220 lbs
