Quarantine Cooking

This is my chef d'oeuvre of my quarantine. Pork belly, braised to perfect melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. It's a Korean dish called su-yοοk…

I said mapo tofu in the title but this isn't really authentic mapo tofu at all, just my take on it with ingredients I had. I used ground…

I had a pretty mumbo day on this day. I think this was this past Wednesday, a day when I have two classes. I ate cereal and an apple or…

Another day, another variation of shrimp Alfredo pasta. I purposefully made it different from my last shrimp Alfredo so I wouldn't post…

Remember that lettuce I used for Thai chicken lettuce wrap? Well, there was some of that left in the fridge and it was getting real sad. I…

Today was one of those rare days when I ate three full meals! This risotto with mushroom, chicken, and kale was my dinner. Does this seem…

I'm posting a lot today because I'm procrastinating on a take-home exam. Today I ate this one meal and the cookies I baked yesterday. I…

The sublet that I'm in right now has a gas oven. The knob used to be missing so I didn't make anything with it thus far, but I got a…

I felt that I haven't been eating enough fresh vegetables since quarantine started, so I had this Thai-inspired chicken lettuce wrap for…

I haven't been eating breakfast very often during quarantine, as I tend to wake up late. Yesterday, I woke up before noon and thought I'd…

In the interest of supporting the local economy, I ordered a burger from the Heights today for lunch (/breakfast). I recently read on the…

I've been eating a little vegan because most of my meats are in the freezer and I need to decide what I'm making the day before if I want…

I finally got around to trying Trader Joe's Alfredo limone sauce. I'm in a Facebook group about Trader Joe's recipes and I've seen in that…

Yesterday was a low-effort food day. I had leftover curry and Shinramyun with an egg for lunch and dinner respectively. I got a request…

Two posts in one day? More likely than you think! I bought two tubes of polenta a few weeks ago from Trader Joe's when I was stocking up…

Oyakodon is a dish that comes together quickly and easily with some chicken, egg, onion, rice, soy sauce, and sugar. Ideally, it's made…

When I'm not making any particular dish (like the boeuf bourguignon or tteokguk) and just trying to throw together a meal, I try to…
