Tteokbokki is one of my favorite Korean foods. I have recipe for traditional "palace" tteokbokki on my website, and of course, I love the red, street tteokbokki version that most people are familiar with.
I love tofu. Mapo tofu was one of my favorite Chinese-Korean dishes my mom made growing up. When I was little, I would ask for "red tofu" since my mom would make it super red and fiery.

LA has been experiencing a weird heat wave lately. Hot and dry, with the temperature reaching 90 degrees... in November! I am so ready for fall, with hearty soups, rich casseroles, and hot noodle soups. Cold weather, where are you?
As many times as I have shopped at Trader Joe's, I still come across items I had never seen before. On my last visit, I was surprised to find lobster tails in the frozen section.
Is it Sunday already? The weekend is almost over, but that means I have time to make a lazy breakfast at home! This is an easy brunch that anyone can make, and it has a pretty presenation if you want to impress someone.
The first time I had spam musubi was at a potluck in college. A Hawaiian friend brought it, and I honestly don't think I ate anything else that night. It was so addicting, and I was wondering how I could have missed out on so much deliciousness all my life.
