Cutting down on food spending with one week of meals for $70 with GOOLZ
These days veggies are more expensive than meat :(
Worry-free meals Let's Eat GOOLZ
Day1 Boneless Gamjatang(pork stew) ( baby food)
I got to know this boneless Gamjatang thanks to a subscriber
I wanted to try it so bad I immediately went out and got the ingredients
Lots of meat with cheap front leg meat
It’s good if you add radish leaves or ripen Kimchi
I chose winter cabbage!
Check the temperature
And Lucky is going to wash the winter cabbage
Done in 5 seconds
- Mom, tadaa
- Wow, you got rid of all the dirt?
This is why cooking takes twice as long :)
You need to boil the pork for about 40 minutes
If you want rich flavor stew, then add more beef bone soup
I added onion peels and green onion roots for the broth, but you can skip it
1 minute on medium heat, 30 minutes on medium low heat!
Remove the bubbles as you go :)
Prepare one onion, sesame leaves, and 4 potatoes!
Give the cabbage a slight 1-minute boil
After 40 minutes of boiling, add two spoonfuls of Doenjang(soybean paste) and 1 heaping spoonful of minced garlic
Add the cabbage and potatoes, and boil on medium heat for 20 minutes
I put some aside for the baby food!
Adding sauce for the adults
In the video, I used crab sauce!
Add the onion and green onion and boil for 10 more minutes:)
In Lucky’s I added sesame powder and onions and boiled it for a bit
I think it could have used a little fish sauce
Gamjatang is great when you eat it while it’s boiling
Add enoki mushrooms, sesame leaves, and sesame powder and your done!
It calls for some Soju
- Let’s eat
Enjoy
- Enjoy your meal
- It looks so good
I made it but it was too good
- It’s good
-So good
You have to dip it in this light mustard sauce
The longer you cook it the tenderer the meat will get
The cabbage went well with it too
Next time, I should try adding some ripened Kimchi
Day 2 Witch soup
Witch soup is a diet food..
But I just wanted to eat it, so I made it regardless of the diet aspect
As I enter my mid 30s
I prefer healthy, warm foods
over things with strong tastes
When you want to feel lighter while filling your stomach, I recommend Witch Soup!!
It's perfect when you need to clear the fridge, too!
But of course, you can't leave out the meat
I prepared it with beef chuck, which becomes tenderer the longer it simmers!
Now, let's sauté it a bit and then add everything and let it simmer!
Add some olive oil and a knob of butter to the beef,
and sauté for about 3 minutes before adding carrots and onions!
After sautéing for about 5 minutes,
add plenty of cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms,
and throw in some tomato juice or tomato sauce
I used tomato juice, which is tomato juice without any additives!
It's called Pomi juice, and it's good for various dishes
Add 3 cups of water, 1 solid curry block, salt, and pepper, and it's ready -!
I'll write down the exact ingredient measurements in the description!!
I adjusted the seasoning with about a tablespoon of fish sauce for insufficient seasoning!
Let it simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes and then over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes
Today, I'm going to eat Witch Soup with this guy
Costco pita bread! It's a bread that I really love :D
It's great for making sandwiches, pizzas, etc...
Today, I'm going to dip it in the Witch Soup, hehe (Such a bread lover)
I sprinkle some parsley powder as a decoration
and omega-rich (whole) sesame powder and eat them together!
Feels like I'm losing weight
But it's really tasty!!
- So good
I think I can add some rice in here
- So yummy
(I got hungry again after an hour of eating this)
DAY3 Spinach potato pizza
Today, after finishing the Witch Soup I made yesterday
Potatoes and spinach were left, so I wondered what to make with them
When potatoes are thinly sliced and fried, they taste really good!
I made a potato pancake pizza using spinach!
Tear the spinach into large pieces
and thinly slice the potatoes!
Soak them in water to remove starch
Then add two tablespoons of starch and sprinkle some salt to season
and fry them thinly for a crispy texture or a little thicker for a chewy texture!
Cook over medium-low heat until golden brown without burning, then flip it
and crack an egg
Place the spinach on top
sprinkle pizza cheese on top of it
cover with the lid, and bake over low heat :)
Easy spinach potato pizza complete!
The cheese on the edges becomes crispy, making it even more delicious!
Half and Half pizza
- I'm addicted to Witch Soup - Yeah? We both lost 0.5kg after eating Witch Soup LOL
- I'm think I'm addicted - You're addicted to Witch Soup? We both lost 0.5kg after eating Witch Soup LOL
It was quite thick
so I felt more full than I thought!
But I got hungry after an hour though,, (Witch soup effect)
DAY4 Chef's kiss, green onion beef pot rice
I'm in love with pot rice recently.. So good
With enoki mushrooms and winter cabbage
I'm about to do some leftover Doenjang(bean paste) soup
Dissolve Doenjang and put winter cabbage in 4 cups of broth and boil for 5 minutes
Finally enoki and green onion on top -!
Today, the main ingredient I prepared is beef outside skirt(300g)!
Cut some green onion
Soak the rice for about 20 minutes!
Tsuyu brings all of the umami of the pot rice
If you don't have any, soy sauce for soup would be fine!
Cube the meat
I dissolved a stock cube in water(300ml)
I prefer to use broth in my dishes
300ml of soaked rice 300ml of broth 1 tbsp of tsuyu in the pot
Boil it for 5 minutes on medium heat and stir lightly
Put the lid on, 10 minutes on low heat and let it sit for 15 minutes with the heat off!
In the meantime, I'll stir-fry some green onion with olive oil
remove the green onion and put the meat in
Add seasoning when half-cooked, and stir-fry on medium heat until the seasoning boils down
After letting it sit for about 15 minutes, put the green onion and beef on top!
Let it sit for another couple of minutes, covered
Egg yolk and some sesame on top :D
Pot rice is so easy to cook
yet filling with just one pot!
I'm thinking of trying many kinds of pot rice :D
Here goes the Doenjang soup with winter cabbage!
Bon Appétit ~! - Bon Appétit
I love this delicate flavor of the soup :)
Green onion and beef,, How can they fail to be good,,
DAY5 Special recipe of stir-fried octopus ( baby food ver.)
I'm making stir-fried octopus ~!
It's so convenient that I can get prepped octopus from Coupang !
I was wondering what to make for Lucky
and decided to make veggie octopus fried rice
She's not a fan of seafood, but she likes it with rice !
The unused two thirds of the sliced zucchini will be used on Day7
Chop some zucchini, mushroom and carrots
Also green onion, cabbage and carrot for the stir-fried octopus :)
Quick recipe of the marinade
First tip for soupless stir-fried octopus, add 1 tbsp of starch !
I'll do the baby food first!
Stir-fry vegetables, mushroom and add some salt
Stir-fry for a minute on medium heat after adding some chopped octopus
100ml of water, Yeondoo(artificial flavor enhancer) or 2 tbsp of soy sauce for soup
Add starchy water after it boils !
A little bit of sesame and a drop of sesame oil would be great!
It goes really well with rice bb
Second tip for soupless stir-fried octopus, parboil the octopus for about 30 seconds!
If you're too tired, feel free to skip this part ...
Olive oil on the pan
Fry cabbage and carrot on medium heat for about 5 minutes
Then add the sauce and fry on a medium-low heat
Add the octopus
Add the green onion and peppers, and sauté for 5 more minutes
Add some water if it seems too dry
Your delicious stir-fried octopus is done
Bon appetit !!
Don’t look at my food
- You’ve got some spice on it
- You’re gonna eat it like that?
If you torch it for some fiery smell, it will be even better
- Can you eat this? Wanna try? - No
- How is it?
- It’s so good
So good…
I have some cold cucumber soup on the side and it went so well together
I’ll write the recipe details in the descriptions section
Day 6 Steamed pork with cabbage
Using one cabbage for today and tomorrow
Set 7-8 of the big leaves aside
Put everything in the steamer and steam for 8 minutes with cold water!
Take the outer leaves out since we’re using them tomorrow:)
Take the insides and put them on a plate
I saw this recipe on Youtube
You put minced meat on top as a garnish and it’s so good
Fry some minced garlic in olive oil and add your meat(400g)
Fry for about 5 minutes on medium heat
Add a spoonful of sugar and give it a light fry
The meat isn’t all going to be used for garnish
I’m leaving half of it to use tomorrow
You can just eat it with rice adding some onion or peppers depending on your preference:)
To finish, add 100ml of water and 3 tablespoons of vinegar and let it simmer
I put some octopus stir fry aside to make fried rice
I should have done a sprinkle but added too much
You just can’t not fry rice in this sauce
I thought two would be too much
So I just made one, and then ate the other one too because it was so good
Wrong choice of plate
Add the meat as a garnish
It’s even better if you add peppers and onion(or paprika) as well!
Mini steamed cabbage with Lucky
- Isn’t it cute?
I made a meal with onion and egg fried rice and grilled mackerel
But the plate is too small lol
Every time I try to eat it spills
It’s so good when you wrap the meat with the cabbage
My husband said it tastes like a fancy Chinese dish
Cabbage is so versatile when it comes to cooking :)
It’s delicious, add some more
- More, more! 5000 won more
- Okay, thank you
Add onions
Day 7 Super simple Banquet Noodles cabbage, tofu, and veggie wraps
I’ll take out the steamed cabbage from yesterday~!
Let’s make cabbage, tofu, and veggie wraps that look and taste good!
Microwave the tofu for a bit and then mash it up
Sprinkle some salt and pepper
Minced cucumbers
Thinly slice the carrots as well
Eating fresh carrots everyday is really good for you, so eat a lot!!
Lay out 4 well-steamed cabbage leaves (trimmed the root parts a bit)
Add a lot of mashed tofu
Add some cucumber and carrots too, and it's done :)
Please wrap it tightly and nicely~~
My nervous touch…
Where did the cucumbers go?
But I still feel good!!
Victory belongs to those who never give up…
Although some were patched up from bursting on the side
I love how they turned out :D
They pair very well with the chili sauce
This really helps you lose weight
Let’s take care of carbs intake with the Banquet Noodles
Boil onions and zucchini in 1 liter of broth for 5-7 minutes !
Add 2-3 tablespoons of tsuyu sauce or soy sauce a spinch of salt
Pour one stirred egg to the soup and boil it!
Also add yesterday’s seasoned meat garnish
Everything is done!
- Bon appetit! - Bon appetit
Looks good
We haven’t had Banquet Noodles in a while
so we both enjoyed it so much :D
This would also be great for a diet meal
- Doesn’t this look good?
- I just
- didn’t expected much and thought it would taste healthy
However, we loved it!
- This is fantastic
I highly recommend this combination
