This was a requested recipe from long time ago! :X I apologize for not making, as well as, posting this sooner!!! I would have made this quicker if I knew somebody would eat this with me. Unfortunately, nobody eats this but myself... hehe~ I have a tendency to NOT make food for myself. I want the easy way around and eat something simple when I eat alone... lol~ :X Anyways, to the recipe...


If you need some guidance with the ingredients, you can check my Korean Cooking 101. ;)


Ingredients:
rice cake
1 egg per person
1 fish cake
chopped garlic
half of spoonful of red pepper paste
onion
cabbage
carrot
red pepper powder
honey powder
sugar
chopped green onion


Step 1:

The first thing I do is get a bowl and soak the rice cake in water for 5 minutes or so. It just softens the rice cake especially if you taken the rice cake out of the freezer. If you have fresh rice cake, you can skip this part... hehe~ ;)


Secondly which isn't shown, I boil eggs for each person eating.


Thirdly which isn't shown also, I soak the fish cake in hot water. The hot water cleans some of the oil from the fish cake.


Step 2:

In a frying pan, I add water and chopped garlic.

When the water starts boiling, I add the soaked rice cake. Don't include the water from Step 1.

I add half of spoonful of red pepper paste. If you like it spicy, I say add about a spoonful.

Then I add chopped onion.

Then add cabbage.

Then I add carrot.

After the fish cake is soaked in hot water, I wash it to remove extra oil/grease. Then I cut it and add into the dish.

Then I add some red pepper powder for extra spiciness. You don't need to do this if you don't want the extra kick... hehe~ ;) I also add honey powder and sugar. If you don't have honey powder, just add extra sugar. Do this until it fits to your taste... hehe~

Finish it up with the boiled eggs and chopped green onion. Make sure to take the outside off of the boiled eggs... hehe~ :P

Here's the complete meal... hehe~ :)

Now I'm going to end this post with my "Finished Products for April"... hehe~

L'occitane 25% Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream

I bought these as sample of threes. The first one I used and did a review on it (click here to read my review). These are very easy to go through since the samples are small... hehe~ This definitely was not moist enough for my winter weather skin, but this is perfect for my spring weather skin. It moisturized and made my face feel good.

Would I buy this again? Actually, it's possible knowing it's fine for my spring weather skin... hehe~

Lancome Primordiale Cell Defense Perfecting Serum

I finally finished my second sample serum (click here to read my review). You're probably wondering why it's cut in the middle of the tube. I have a tendency to cut my tube in half to use up the last drops of product... hehe~ :X After I cut it, I squeeze the bottom part to put it inside the top part. I definitely use it to the last drop!... lol~ Anyways, back to the product. I don't think it's done one good thing for my skin. :/

Would I buy this again? Probably not.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner

I finally finished my first sample toner I bought (click here to read my review). I'm going through my second one... hehe~ I love how cooling it is to my skin, as well as, how cleans my left over makeup after I cleanse my face.

Would I buy this again? Probably yes.

Lush Angels on Bare Skin

I went and got a sample size of this. Initially, I didn't like it much and thought Lush was overrated... hehe~ :X To be frank, I actually liked it towards the end. It exfoliated my skin while cleansing. Next time I'll probably cleanse my face before using this. I like the feeling of soap suds while cleansing. Then I'll exfoliate twice a week with this product... hehe~ The reason why I didn't like this was how weird it felt using this but I got use to it as time went on... hehe~ :X

Would I buy this again? Probably.

Is Clinical Youth Eye Complex Innovative Skincare

I received a sample and used it. To be honest, I don't know if I like it or not. The amount they gave me doesn't help me to figure out if the results happen within the time period. I think they should give you at least four weeks amount of products to figure if you like it or not... hehe~ There's a good chance I'm dreaming!... lol~ :X It was hydrating to my eyes, but at the same time, I didn't notice any change. :/

Would I buy this again? I don't know since I couldn't figure out after couple of days... hehe~

Bath & Body Works Sun-Ripened Raspberry Body Cream

This is the small size I bought long time ago. I tend to like the small ones to carry around with me for my dry hands. I love how moisturizing it is for my hands... hehe~ The best part it smells fruity and delicious!!! :)

Would I buy this again? Of course!
