The Kitchen
And here is where I cook. This is it - 2 burners. No oven. No microwave. (That's a washing machine, not an oven, underneath the stove!)
So every meal is pretty much a variation of the same thing. Some kind of base (rice, noodles, potatoes, spaghetti, beans, Korean dumplings etc) and some kind of stir-fried or boiled topping made with vegetables, meats and whatever ingredients I feel like throwing in. Accompanied by something - fruit, a salad, a store-bought side, crackers, bread and peanut butter, etc.
The Dining Table
Actually, I usually just eat at my desk (!), but here is a typical home-cooked meal (not quite like the rather large restaurant meal shown in previous post) laid out on the dining table:
Looks pretty much like what I'd eat at home!
A long-handled spoon and long, thin metal chopsticks are the standard Korean utensil set. Adult forks are nowhere to be found. Another blog, another day, will have to be devoted to... Korean chopsticks!
Also coming (I hope) ... local restaurants and street vendors.
