This dish I make often, it's just pure comfort food to me, easy to make and costs around $1.5. This recipe gives 4 portions and it scales extremely easily.

To start with, yesterday I soaked 150g (5 oz) chickpeas in water, after a couple of hours I drained them and added 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ginger powder and 1 tsp coriander powder. Put the chickpeas in the fridge overnight to soak up all the marinade.

The rice is the standard 200ml rice to 300ml water. (1 cup rice to 1.5 cup of water) Simmer 12 minutes, rest for 10 minutes. I like to add half a cube of chicken bouillon and 3 cloves. Salt to taste.

I used 400g (14 oz) deboned chicken thighs. Cut into cubes and fried in a pan. Simply seasoned with salt and pepper.

The marinated chickpeas got 15 minutes in the frying pan at moderate heat to give them a nice texture and delicious roasted taste.

The sauce is extremely easy to make!

1.5 cup of water.

Half a chicken bouillon cube.

One teaspoon of garlic powder.

Two tablespoons of curry madras (you might use more or less, depending on your preferences)

Two tablespoons of powdered coffee creamer.

1 heaping tablespoon of mango chutney.

A little corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce.

At the end, add one cup of frozen vegetables. (Forgot to add them to the picture)

This can't be any easier, cheaper, or tastier and tastes even better after reheating!

Potatoes are one of the most loved vegetables on the planet. I had a few sitting in the fridge, so I wanted to use them before they went bad.

With the help of some of my go-to ingredients, I turned them into an absolutely amazing gourmet potato dish.

I had some rice and tinned tuna on hand, and I knew they had so much potential.

I decided to turn these humble ingredients into something special, and the result was surprisingly delicious.

This Tteokbokki was so incredibly delicious, I just had to share it! 

Every ingredient came together perfectly, adding another layer of flavour and richness. Creamy, savoury, slightly spicy and seriously addictive.

Simply put, this is unbelievably delicious! I enjoyed every single bite and couldn’t stop eating.

I have a very small container garden on the roof. Every morning I try to harvest a little bit to have with breakfast. Today I picked some kale and cherry tomatoes and used them in an omelette. Also pictured here are hami melon slices and local cherries.

Mince beef (ground beef for those across the pond) with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic and ginger atop rice, steamed eggs and silken tofu with lil hint of chilli oil

Korea’s FAVOURITE noodle dish. A proven national treasure. Made with humble ingredients… but BIG legendary flavour.

So good, my taste buds started jumping for joy!
