#AmazonAlexaPartner Chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, chips and queso - foods I honestly only ever make when sports are around. And with my Echo Show 11 with Alexa+ integrated into my kitchen, game days just feel easier.. and managing food, sports, and company simultaneously is all that much more seamless @Alexa #alexaplus

anybody else love their instant pot as much as i do🙋🏼‍♀️ while this definitely isn’t the best korean braised short rib, it sure is the most bang for your buck if you’re in a pinch (as regular galbijjim takes several hours) Instant Pot Galbijjim: (feeds 1-2 people) ~2 lb beef short ribs (cleaned, trimmed, and optionally soaked overnight) 1 handful korean daikon radish, cut into 2-inch chunks (optionally beveled/rounded) 1 handful carrot (optionally beveled/rounded) 1 small onion, quartered 2 stalks scallions, chopped into 2-inch pieces 1–2 fresh chilies, chopped into 2-inch pieces (serrano or thai bird eye) 1/3 cup soy sauce 2 tbsp cup brown sugar 2 tbsp mirin (or rice wine) 1/2 cup water or stock 1 Tbsp garlic, minced 1 Tbsp ginger, minced 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp sesame oil 1. To an Instant Pot, place the cleaned ribs and layer the radish, carrots, onion, scallions, and chilies. 2. Whisk the sauce ingredients together and pour over the meat. 3. Close lid. Set to manual/high pressure for 35 minutes. 4. Allow a natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then vent the remaining steam manually. 5. Use tongs to remove the ribs and vegetables into a serving. 6. Optionally, skim off any fat left on top using a skimmer, fat remover, or a piece of bread. 7. Press sauté and let the liquid boil rapidly for 5-10 minutes until reduced by 1/3 to 1/2. 8. Pour the thick, syrupy liquid back into the bowl now and drizzle with a touch more sesame oil. #galbi #galbijjim

cafes in koreas are on a different level☕️ this one was my personal favorite 📍dotori garden #seoul #korea #cafe

maturing is realizing that soup > any other food category :) usually don’t post me str8 chowing like this but i need at least one person out there to experience this sundaeguk in seoul.. out of this world🥲 📍cheongwaok hakdong #seoul #korea #sundaeguk

10) Takeshi Japanese Oden & Robata - very very authentic japanese cuisine but not sure if it was for me😅 9) Tsukiji Fish Market - gonna miss experiencing this for the first time :/ the food, sights, and sounds was truly like taking acid as per toni b 8) Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory - the cream puffs coulda been better but go for the interior and the auntie serving them🥹 7) Iyoshi Cola - most interesting / one of the best colas i’ve ever tried 6) Gold Bar / The Tokyo EDITION - apparently a celeb hotspot but didn’t see any :( cool menu tho 5) Matcha Passport - cute little cafe in shimokitazawa with decent matcha lattes 4) Usagi - maturing is realizing tsukemen > ramen🤓☝🏼get the spicy dan dan tsukemen 3) Savoy Tomato & Cheese - crust/dough was very very veryy good 2) Lucky Toranomon - cute izakaya with excellent food 1) Ramen Break Beats - the best shoyu ramen ever ever also honorable mentions to bongen and every lawson that’s nurtured me with their spicy fried chicken😋 #tokyo

will say i had a lot of the top recommended shoyu, shio, and truffle ramens this trip, and no shoyu ramen compared to this one.. it’s been a michelin gourmand winners last couple years and consistently ranks in tokyo’s top ramen rankings.. the chef owner takuro was a dj who grew up here and approaches his ramen through that music influence - layering components to make harmony, like mixing a track🎧 was a little outside from where tourists usually venture and you still might end up waiting in line.. but coming from nyc while i’ll say almost nothing in nyc with a line is worth waiting for, in japan, almost everything with a line is worth waiting for hehe the surrounding town around here has so much character.. you’ll be eating with your eyes as much as your mouth so if you try any ramen in tokyo, let it be this one.. #tokyo #ramen
