This remind me of the side dish that Korean restaurant usually serve when we have a meal there. (Aside from the Kimchi)

Its very refreshing for a midday snacks!

This is basically my attempt on trying to cook different type of dishes and make my husband the guinea pig on testing them out.I do like to cook sometimes and I just need an avenue on where I should document my journey (both failed and success ones). Cause some of them will be on repeat and I won’t remember all of them. (except rice. its easy to cook rice 😅)Also, my husband and I are from 2 different cultures (Brazilian vs Malaysian) so it'd be nice for him to try out some of the Asian dish that I'm familiar on eating (not cooking). Hopefully it tasted good.I'll give a shot on cooking some Brazillian dish as well soon. Wish me luck!
