Today we got rotisserie chicken from Costco and made salad with it. Used romaine lettuce, sweet mini pepper, olives, blueberries, and homemade dressing.
For homemade dressing we mixed olive oil, red wine, Dash, soysauce and vinegar.
It's healthy and tasty but I need to grab something more to eat. I've been starving too much in the morning. Maybe I'll make some kimchi fried rice.

My friend Helen invited June and me for a quick dinner. She prepared bibimbop for us. Nice.
Bibim means mix and bop means rice.
I'm sure many will know about this dish. It's a good dish to eat all different kinds of vegetables at once. But it takes some time to prepare since each vegetable needs to be prepared separately first.
Anyhow back to her bibimbop...
She sliced radish very thin and mixed with some salt and red pepper flakes. [Read more...]

Popeye eats spinach straight out of can. I prefer fresh ones...heh heh...or just cooked fresh...you know what I mean.
Once a friend told me she ate a very healthy meal...spinach salad. Yes that's good but let me show you an alternative way...Asian way...of eating spinach, as a Banchan/Sidedish with rice. I think that's little more filling than just a salad heh heh.
Just slightly cook and mix with sesame oil and salt and you are done!
Okay..okay...I'll be little more specific...scroll down!

Everyone in my family knows that I don't like cucumber...actually I hate FRESH cucumber. Sorry to FRESH cucumber lovers, but I'm not the only one who hates it. Once I went to a restaurant with two other friends. We got side salads and since I don't eat cucumbers I asked if any of them wanted my gigantic cucumber slices. Usually people look at me weird and gladly take it away from me...but that time both of my friends said they never eat cucumber!! So you see, I'm not alone.
However, as ironic as it may sound...I do LOVE pickles and this spicy cucumber salad! Yummmm!!
In fact, this banchan is my FAVORITE!!!!!! I can eat so much rice with just this alone.
Like I told you before, I hate FRESH cucumber because of that FRESH seed smell, which cucumber lovers like it FRESH... as for me, pickles are 'pickled' and this recipe actually doesn't use the seed part (Keep this in mind to just throw away! or eat it if you must....)
No seeds, spicy, sweet, and fresh crunchy...Mmmmmmmmm...I want some!
Why should you eat this?
1. Eat more vegetables in different ways: In fact, that's the beauty of Korean food! You get to eat vegetables in many tasty ways! Not just regular old salad anymore!
2. Healthy diet and weight loss: more veggies, more benefits your and less greasy stuff means lose weight! Yay!
3. Spicy foods promote and protects health and possibly weight loss too: If you can't take the heat, please don't over do it.

***WARNING*** This recipe makes very spicy noodle salad with Sriracha Hot sauce. We will not be responsible for any 'unfortunate outcomes' you may suffer due to eating something TOO spicy. If you had Sriracha before, you'll know how 'spicy' this can be...if you can't take it anymore just hold water/ice or drink milk asap. Otherwise enjoy the spiciness of this salad.
**If you want to try this with less spiciness scroll down for other options with sauces.
It's crunchy, fresh, and SPICY! Hot days are coming soon...and MD experienced sudden burst of preview of the summer for couple days already. These days something that can wake you up and give you a nice kick at your stress could be this Spicy Noodle Salad. I mean...it's really spicy for me. Anyhow after sweating (if you can't handle spicy anything please don't try this at home!) and turning RED I felt better and felt cool (literally!).
So if you are adventurous enough (...and if you can take the heat!) let's see how we made ours!

I love tofu. Tofu can be used in so many ways and I'll introduce you one of the quickest and my favorite snack tofu banchans. I usually eat fresh tofu for my late night snack. Yum Yum. So this doesn't have to your sidedish at all. It could be your lunch or snack as well.
Ok, Here we go...
