Homemade Simple Korean Dinner

Although I want to detail here the products I used and how I cooked everything I only have enough time to post the pictures.

As you know it is my goal to eat healthier and not eat out as much. I figured since I am in the country and most of the products are meant for Korean meals why not try to cook Korean style dinners.

I decided that making the simple tofu jigae (soup) would work. I bought all the ingredients and right tools. At Lotte Mart I also bought some side dishes including japchae.

All together it was a good meal and I am testing to see if I can save the soup as leftovers.

The top center there is the soup I made which includes a bean paste base, tofu, zucchini and sprout mushrooms. I used a microwaveable rice instead of fresh from the pot (no rice cooker yet).

This is a lotus root side dish...actually that is my interpretation. Out of the many side dishes you can enjoy here in Korea this is the one I like most and I found it at my Lotte Mart.
