Almost Ordered Takeout… Made This Korean Dinner Instead 🍲
Tonight’s refrigerator cooking:
🥩 Marinated gogi beef + napa + tofu + mushrooms
🐙 Sweet-spicy small octopus stir fry
— HOW I MADE IT —
🥩 Beef veggie pan
1. High heat pan (no oil)
2. Cook Costco marinated beef first
3. Halfway → add napa, tofu, mushrooms
4. Lower to medium heat & simmer
5. Optional black pepper at the end
🐙 Octopus stir fry
1. Clean with coarse salt, rinse well
2. Soak 15 min in water + cornstarch (makes tender)
3. Rinse again
4. Olive oil + garlic + green onion → sauté
5. Add octopus on high heat
6. Add premade tteokbokki/spicy sauce
7. When it shrinks → lower heat & finish
Eating at home > eating out

You don’t need perfect meals, just cook more often 🙂
