What has really been interesting is that I opted to eat lunch at school with the Korean teachers instead of having to pack my lunch every day I work. It is exciting and scary, because I don't know what will be served! So far I am loving it because I'm expanding my taste for Korean food and most of the time it is very healthy.
For this Mukbang, I want to show you a typical lunch tray.
Starting on the bottom left is rice, which you probably guessed would be on the tray! This rice is a purple color, which means it has some black rice mixed into the white rice. A quick internet search just helped me learn that black rice is higher in fiber and antioxidants and lower in carbs than brown or white rice. So it's not just pretty!
Above the rice is some kind of salad, although I'm not quite sure what it was, maybe garlic shoots? Who ever thought I would eat things without being able to identify them? Lunch at work is definitely a game of chance, but there is usually a vegetable that I feel safe eating.
In the middle is kimchi, which is usually either cabbage kimchi or cubed radish kimchi, both favorites of mine!
On the top right is the wildcard item that widly varies from day to day. This picture shows dumplings with some kind of barbeque sauce on them. There can be spicy chicken and veggies, fried pork, seafood, noodles, etc. This is the part that is kind of hit or miss for me. At least I can always count on kimchi and rice!
The bowl of soup is always delicious. On this day it was beef and radish soup, which I love and actually made on a previous Mukbang post about making mandu. The soup has been egg drop, tofu, dumpling, tiny shrimp, beef, miso, spring onion, and seaweed, just to name a few. I really enjoy the variety of soups I get to try!
And that's it! Simple, healthy, and I don't have to haul lunch on the bus to work!
