Ambitious Deliciousness – Dont Eat Lazy.

Do you ever find yourself eating just rice and seaweed as a meal? It’s actually one of my favorite quick dishes to eat! But it’s kind of sad when seaweed is the only thing to accompany your rice! That’s when I realized that it’s been a long time since I’ve made any sort of ban chan (Korean side dish), so I decided to try my hand at making something new.

Fish cake (aka o-deng) is similiar to imitation crabs in the sense that it’s been processed to have hints of fish flavor, but not quite. I’m sorry but I have no idea what is really in it. Isn’t that comforting to know?

One thing I forgot to do is to lightly poach the fish cake by dipping it boiling water for a minute. This will soften the fish cake by adding moisture, as well as to clean out the “toxins,” according to my mom.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Talk about hard times! I’ve managed to roast chicken, make soup with the bones, and save some of the stock for the rice.

This dish is super duper yummy and is one of the easiest dishes you could make! It’s a great weeknight meal, especially when you’re welcomed by an empty fridge at home after being away for the holiday.
