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>
