Banana Pudding

Have you heard of Magnolia Bakery? They’re a super popular bakery most well known for their banana pudding, but did you know that they use instant pudding mix?! Even so, their banana pudding is still delicious haha. But did you also know that making banana pudding at home is super easy and so much cheaper? You can also use instant pudding mix if you like, but I like to make my pudding from scratch :)

Can you believe that this cake consists of mainly four ingredients?! It has the perfect delicate balance between decadence and lightness. You should definitely give it a try!

I have a friend who loves corn and rice cake, so when I saw this recipe online one day, I knew it would be the perfect birthday treat for her! That’s why I made this and found it to be so tasty yet easy to make! You just throw everything in a blender to mix and then bake. It has the springiness of mochi and the sweetness of corn.

Spicy Korean Chex Mix

Have you ever had furikake chex mix? It’s so so good. I made it (using Justonecookbook’s recipe) as part of my Christmas cookie box last Christmas and so many of my friends raved about it. This led me to think of making my own version, but Korean! I drew inspiration from tteokbokki and decided to mirror its flavor profile.

Perilla Leaf Kimchi (깻잎김치)

깻잎 (kkaennip) is a Korean herb that is quite popularly eaten as a wrap for KBBQ. It’s part of the mint family yet tastes completely different! I would say that it’s more earthy. I love this herb! And though it’s delicious eaten as a wrap, I also love it when made as a kimchi. The best thing about making it as kimchi is that it’s so much easier than other kimchi recipes! You just make the seasoning and slather it on each leaf. That’s it! You should always eat perilla leaf kimchi with rice though since it is very salty on its own.

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

I love sun-dried tomatoes! They’re so good. And even better? Sun-dried tomato pesto! It’s great added to a sandwich, pasta, or anything else really. And what’s even better is that it is made with mostly pantry items, which means you can make it any time of the year.

Strawberry Matcha Latte

I have been making this drink everyday lately. It’s so good. Whenever I go to a cafe or boba shop and they have strawberry matcha latte, I always have to get it. I love it so much. So I thought, why not just make my own? So I did! :D
