So this dish is apparently supposed to be magical if you’re pregnant. (Or was it right after you’ve been pregnant?) Uh…one or the other. I didn’t pay such close attention because I don’t fall into either category, but anyway, it’s supposed to be good for you regardless of any of that. I was only unnerved when my mom asked me why I didn’t drink all the vinegar.
I’m not much in the habit of drinking vinegar (this is probably more fuel for the fire in terms of my friends here teasing me about being a bad Asian, but we will agree to disagree).
