Hi friends
What on
earth are you having from early morning?
You might
have wondered. Yes, this is my breakfast today. Korean Bibimbap, Edamame Omelette
with Juno’s special Sweet & Sour Sauce and Miso soup with Tofu and Enoki Mushroom.
(Authentic Korean Bibimbap is eaten with a raw egg, but I don’t recommend
anyone with eggs in this country because of salmonella risk.) I don’t know Korean
culture that well, but I don’t think Korean people eat Bibimbap for breakfast.
I eat a lot,
really a lot from morning and keep snacking all day and stop at 18:00. It used
to be 19:00, but as I hit big “four-oh!”, and my metabolism has slowed down, I
have to stop eating earlier.
I am an easy
going person who can be very happy with simple little things. Eat well, work
hard, play sensibly, and laugh a lot. Then, my happy life is there.
Used to be
play hard. When I was still a student, I kept drinking Chablis with my friends
until dawn. All of my friends were in deep coma but I got up to attend the first
lecture of the day at 7:45am. Before my professor started his lecture, he told
me calmly, “I appreciate that you are a conscientious person, but come back
when you get your normal elegance and some intelligence back.”
What a man!
Some intelligence, thank you for expecting that from me, Professor.
Since then,
play hard yet not to disgrace myself has become my motto. (Off course, after twenty odd years from that day, even now, I often become silly and make some memories I want to wipe out from the system.)
Eat well and
work hard bits are unchanged since my 20s and the old motto is still with me.
This is
enoki mushroom I used for miso soup.
They look weird but they are said to
reduce the rate of cancer risk. I just like its texture when it is cooked in
soup, or with pasta.
It is also said
it burns body fat effectively when it is dried once and then used in cooking.
If weather stays dry for days, I should try to make dried enoki for my beauty bonkers
experiment.
I made an omelette
with edamame beans as well.
Off course they also have great benefits for women’s
health.
With my special sweet & sour sauce, they tasted
rather nice….
My sweet
& sour sauce is very simple, it is not even cooking. Ketchup, bit of brown
sugar, vinegar and potato starch and water, mix them well and heat up in a
microwave oven.
I cannot say
that to my Chinese friends. If you are reading this blog, please excuse my
disgraceful adaptation of your country’s cooking…
Ate rather well this morning.....
