Food is a big part of my life and the perfect embodiment of my lifestyle.
It brings me so much love, and so much encouragement to keep going.
I love to talk about food and develop new recipes. Hope certain dishes remind you of the “Ratatouille” moment with just one bite.

The whole internet is obsessed with sushi bake, but everyone’s missing the magic hiding in plain sight: the salmon skin. While others toss it, I air fry it into golden, shattering chips that turn viral comfort food into textural perfection.

Stop. Throwing. Away. The. Skin.
creamy meeting crispy — is what makes people stop mid-conversation and ask for the recipe.

• 🐟 Sushi-grade salmon (SAVE that skin!) 
• 🍚 Rice seasoned with miso + sesame oil 
• 🧀 Cream cheese + miso + lemon magic 
• 🥑 Avocado, scallions, nori for wrapping 
• ✨ Air fryer for the crispy skin revolution

Save this before your next salmon dinner. Your guests will think you‘re a genius.

|Tuna Tataki (No Frying, No Heavy Sauce)| _ Ocean‘ |Tuna Tataki (No Frying, No Heavy Sauce)|
_
Ocean‘s gift, lightly seared.

Wanna bite? 

This is for days when I want something bold, but still clean and elegant.

No deep frying, no heavy sauces — just a beautiful dish made with respect.

Fresh tuna quickly seared with sesame oil, ruby-red center left untouched, finished with soy, ginger, and a whisper of citrus.

Delicate, powerful, and perfect for honoring the fish.

A moment of purity on a plate.

|Butagakuni| (Braised Pork Belly)
_
Quietly simmer |Butagakuni| (Braised Pork Belly)
_
Quietly simmered. Slowly understood.
_
Wanna bite? 🍽️
Lately, I’ve been falling into the world of jorim —
after watching Chef Choi Kang-rok on Culinary Class War,
I started cooking one simmered dish at a time.
I was never someone who craved jorim.
But there’s something about its subtlety —
the way flavors don’t rush, the way patience becomes seasoning.

Butagakuni is exactly that.
Pork belly gently simmered for a long time,
until you almost wonder, is it even done yet?
That’s when you turn the heat off.

🖤 B’s Secret:
Jeong, and restraint.
Long, quiet simmering — and knowing when to stop.
The softness comes not from force, but from waiting.

My kitchen, my calm. 🤍

|부타가쿠니| (돼지고기 조림)

조용히 졸이고, 천천히 이해하는 맛.

Wanna bite? 🍽️
최근 흑백요리사에서 최강록 셰프의 ‘조림’ 을 보고
조림의 세계에 조금씩 빠져들고 있어요.
하나씩, 하나씩 만들어보는 중이에요.
사실 저는 평소에 조림을 즐기는 편은 아니었어요.
그런데 조림에는
맛이 서두르지 않는 은은함이 있더라고요.
기다림 자체가 양념이 되는 요리랄까요.
부타가쿠니도 그래요.
돼지고기를 오랫동안, 아주 은근하게 졸이다가
‘아직 덜 된 것 같은데?’ 싶을 때
불을 끄는 게 포인트.
🖤 B’s Secret:
정성, 그리고 절제.
장시간 은근히 졸이고
멈춰야 할 순간을 아는 것.
부드러움은 힘이 아니라 기다림에서 나옵니다.

🌙 Midnight Kitchen Chronicles Channeling my inner 🌙 Midnight Kitchen Chronicles

Channeling my inner Chef Kang-rok Choi from Culinary Class Wars:)
Wanted to braise everything in sight like a true master 🔥
but tonight? 9-minute express version 🐟

Japanese-style braised sea bream
Threw in whatever I had at home and just... braised it all!!

The magic ratio: 
Mirin 5 : Sake 4 : Soy sauce 1
That glossy soy-glazed perfection hitting different at midnight. Just a light braise and you get tender fish with that perfect sauce-to-bite ratio 👌

달콤하지만
몸에는 부드럽고 싶은 날을 위한 디저트예요.
굽지 않고, 정제당 없이 —

잘 익은 감을 마스카르포네와 요거트로 겹겹이 쌓고,
레이디핑거 대신 100% 통곡물 크래커,
마무리는 꿀, 시나몬, 코코아 파우더.
가볍고 편안해서
천천히 쉬고 싶은 순간에 딱.
포크 위의 조용한 순간. 🍴

Potato Chip Charcuterie|| My Comfort Food Story _ Potato Chip Charcuterie|| My Comfort Food Story
_
Wanna bite? 🍽️
_
We all have those days in Toronto—the ones where the fridge looks empty, the energy is low, and the idea of ”cooking“ feels like too much.
But I’ve learned that even a ”fridge-digging“ moment deserves a little ’Jeong‘ (정).
Today, I was sitting down to watch Culinary Class War, my soul needed a snack that felt just as extra as the show.
So I made a potato chip charcuterie — thick yogurt for dipping, capicollo, olives.
A $0 redesign of whatever I had left in the fridge.

🖤 B’s Secret:
Potato chips as the base — because sometimes comfort doesn’t need fixing.
👇 YOU’LL NEED:
• Potato chips
• Thick yogurt (or sour cream)
• Capicollo (or any cured meat)
• Olives
• Whatever’s left — that’s the point

|No Flour, No sugar Banana Bread| _ Wanna bite? 🍌 |No Flour, No sugar Banana Bread|
_
Wanna bite? 🍌
_
Today, I cooked for me.
I realized I always save the best for others — the care, the effort, the love.
And one day I thought… what if I deserved that too?
I had old bananas and redesigned banana bread — no flour, no sugar.
—

🖤 B’s Secret:
No flour, no sugar — sweetness only from banana + dates.
👇 YOU’LL NEED:
• Ripe bananas
• Dates
• Almond flour
• Eggs
• Yogurt

📌 Save it for a cozy day 💾

|Potato Salad with Dill Yogurt Sauce| _ Creamy, bu |Potato Salad with Dill Yogurt Sauce|
_
Creamy, but light.
_
Forget the heavy mayo—this is potato salad, redesigned. 
Built on a foundation of light yogurt and fresh dill, it’s a dish that breathes. 
Soft potatoes meet a sharp, herbaceous clarity. 

🖤 B’s Secret
The dark, savory note of capocollo balances the bright acidity.
The salty, smoky intensity of the cured meat cuts through the creamy yogurt, providing a rhythmic break in the softness. It is the “dark” note that balances the “bright” acidity of the lemon and dill.

👇 YOU’LL NEED:
• baby potatoes
• Greek yogurt
• lemon
• dill
• garlic
• Capocollo
• olive oil
• Kosher salt and black pepper

📌 Cool, clean, and comforting. Save it 🤍
