Some days she eats hot rice with a raw egg thrown in...a personal "ick" for me though. We both snack on a piece of fruit between breakfast and lunch. She snacks more than I do, but I eat larger servings at each meal than she does.</p> <p>Lunch<br /> I'm at work so I take things that are lunchbox friendly and not overly strong smelling as my co-workers aren't as open minded as I'd like: rice, Korean egg omelette, soy simmered egg or beef, seasoned spinach, simmered zucchini, sweet stewed potato, and seasoned dried squid are some of my faves. For dessert: fruit. Mom prefers something more hearty like rice, a spicy soup, and spicy kimchi.</p> <p>Dinner<br /> My mother is a die-hard carnivore. Has to have meat at every dinner. Usually beef or pork. I'm more of a soup and stew gal. A spicy mackerel stew or spicy beansprout soup makes my day. And I prefer fish (broiled mackerel, fried salted yellow croaker, or steamed whole tilapia...we both have a thing for the eyeballs) and chicken (spicy stewed with potatoes and carrots or simmered soup-like with tons of garlic).</p> <p>One thing though. We never have as many side dishes as when we eat out at a Korean restaurant. Usually just one or two types of kimchi and maybe one non-kimchi side dish along with any soup or meat we're having. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/typical-korean-food-day#post-6346 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 06:56:37 +0000 chirp 6346@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Personally, I don't think they eat healthy food enough these days(there are plenty of fat sugar high food over here too), but rather they eat small proportions frequently. And this actually helps. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/typical-korean-food-day#post-6320 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:12:51 +0000 Kiriel 6320@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Please forgive me if this sort of thing has been posted already, but I have a question.<br /> Does anyone have a breakdown of what a Korean woman eats in a typical day? I want to construct a healthy way of eating for myself, and this kind of information is suprisingly difficult to find... </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5900 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:23:57 +0000 Heidela 5900@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Korean food in general is so healthy, lw sugar, lots of veggies, soups stews ect...One dish in particular has helped me loose weight and keep it off, leaves you feeling satisfied all day if you eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner...is the ox bone soup= Seolleongtang (Use naturally raised beef if you can) and Maangchi has a video/recipe of how to make this wonderful dish! This is hearty and so good. I am fortunate there are places here that serve just this soup, so I can run in have a bubbling bowl with condiments and be back at work, or if I get up early enough breakfast!<br /> If you live in a community that has a large Korean population, this dish is a winner! It is a soup that requires more cooking time than most dishes but the broth and beef may be frozen in portions and heated before serving...so make a big batch!</p> <p>Good luck and hang in you are young and will find it a fun healthy creative journey if you really get in to home cooking </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5893 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:22:13 +0000 somi 5893@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>I suggest, switch to brown rice, and make lots of the pun-chun dishes. Also seaweed is really good for you, so meok-guk is a very good choice. And try to use fish base instead of meat base in soups. Congratulations you guys on losing your weight. I'm doing the same thing too. Honestly, when I cook Korean soups and stuff, I find that the calorie intake is lower, and I feel happier about it. I'm with you on your weight loss journey! GO US!!!! xD </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5824 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:15:33 +0000 wandering-z 5824@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi district<br /> congrats on trying to lose. I myself am doing the same thing. Most of the soups are very healthy if eaten by serving size. Maangchi does a good job on demonstrating serving size on some of her videos. I have found out that cutting the sugar content,red meat, sodium, and some carbs in the form of noodles to be very helpful.I use cooking spray instead of vegetable oil on a good non-stick pan. I have lost 29lbs so far.</p> <p>As for the gym, you should do weight training at least 4 times a week and cardio six times a week (45mins). Be persistent like a bug. Focus on fat loss and muscle retention not just the amounts lbs you can drop.</p> <p>Good luck </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/on-my-weight-loss-journey-meal-suggestions#post-5822 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:55:37 +0000 DistrictBelle 5822@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi everyone, I am 23 and have 115 lbs to lose. Im trying to avoid fat and carbs. I weight train twice a week and do lots of cardio. Which korean dishes are the healthiest for weight loss and dieting? Any tips on recipe modifications like using quinoa instead of rice and no butter or greases? Thanks for any tips and meal suggestions! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-3666 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:11:53 +0000 unchienne 3666@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Alex pretty much nailed the question on the head, but I thought I'd list my cooking staples as well:</p> <p>Garlic, fish sauce, green onions, hot pepper flakes, soy sauce, MSG (controversial as a lot of people don't use it), seasame oil, seasame seeds, seaweed (usually seasoned gim and kelp), tofu, kimchee, spicy and regular soy bean paste, kosher or sea salt, thai bird chillies, dried anchovy teabags, corn tea, beef dashida, rice. </p> <p>Most dishes require more ingredients, but these are the things that, if I didn't have an Asian Market nearby, would be what I'd stock up on to make most of my dishes. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-3374 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:10:21 +0000 Buy Dog Treats 3374@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>My Uncle are the patient of Diabetes but they are fond of eating healthy food.

I thought if I prodded one more time I might get someone to revisit my question. </p> <p>I am a very curious person. :)</p> <p>I am always watching Korean dramas and they make me hungry. LOL! Hungry also to know about daily eating habits.</p> <p>I really wish we could banish fast food restaurants. :S </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-3237 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 22:31:45 +0000 Maangchi 3237@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Alex, you are the best! Your answer is very clear and very right! Thank you very much for your time and effort! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-3225 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 01:39:54 +0000 koralex90 3225@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Recently, Korean people's diets have been very westernized. People usually have bread and milk, or cereal and fruit for breakfast and other meals. </p> <p>More traditionally, Koreans will eat something close to the following for each meal.</p> <p>Breakfast: Rice, side-dishes made previously the day before (like Spinach side dish, kimchi, radish side dish, perilla leaf kimchi, and young summer radish kimchi), and a soup to accompany the meal. Soups served in the morning are not too spicy, oily, or meat rich. Soups like soybean sprout soup, seaplant soup, bean paste soup, dried pollack soup, or cabbage bean paste soup are good choices. </p> <p>Lunch: It can be literally anything on Maangchi's recipe list. Rice, Kimchi and other side dishes (like fish cake side dish, egg side dish, bean sprout side dish, pan fried tofu, etc), are usually accompanied by a meat/fish entree such as bulgogi jungol. Spicy stews such as soft tofu stew, spicy fish stew, yukgaejang, bean paste soup, or kimchi stew may be accompanied with the meal. Additional food like Vegetable pancakes, squash pancakes may be ordered seperately.<br /> Usually there is no desert, but if there is, it is usually fruit cut into bite size pieces (apple, pear, persimmon, etc.), or a small serving of shikhae or sujungwa. Lunch can also be a simple bowl of noodles like jajangmyun, sujebi, jajangmyun.</p> <p>Dinner: Usually considered the largest meal of the day, menu is usually the same as lunch. However, noodles are not as popular for dinner. Dinner tends to be a more formal meal to Koreans with more side dishes and varieties of food rather than a simple bowl of noodles. </p> <p>Most important ingredients you will always need to cook basic Korean food:<br /> Garlic, Kimchi, Red pepper flakes, red pepper paste, sesame oil, dried anchovies, soy sauce, &amp; soy bean paste.</p> <p>Secondary ingredients: Roasted sesame seeds, tofu, fish sauce (mainly for maangchi's recipes), green chili peppers, green onions, dried shitake mushrooms, dried kelp, onions, etc. </p> <p>If there is anything else you are curious about, please ask! :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-3220 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:06:26 +0000 wolvesinwinter 3220@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Anyone willing to share? :) </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/diet-pantry#post-2974 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:58:03 +0000 wolvesinwinter 2974@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>The first question is for any native or living abroad Korean men or women.</p> <p>Can you describe the typical Korean way of eating from breakfast to dinner?</p> <p>Secondly, the next question concerns Maangchi or any other person who likes to cook Korean food regularly or even everyday. What are your stock items for your pantry that you keep on a consistent basis and what are the occasional items you buy?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Lynn </p>
