Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Free For All!
Sorry for the radio silence this week! I’m back on hospital service and the days have been kinda crazy! On the plus side, today is my last day on hospital day service until third year! (I do still have several call days and 2 weeks of nights left though.)
These 80-hour work weeks aren’t going too well in terms of me getting enough sleep whilst trying to do everything else I want to do (e.g. dance practices, climbing practice, lifting, running). Did you know I’m signed up to run a race next weekend?! Guess who hasn’t trained at all? (Yes, this girl. ._.) It’s the first race I’ve signed up for since 2010 and I’ll also be coming off a 24 hour shift the Friday before, so we’ll see how that goes?!
We’re having our annual salsa showcase at the end of this month, and I’m kinda sad that all my club practices are going to be coming to an end soon, but…let’s face it–you know I’m gonna find other things to fill my time up with! (For instance, frolicking outdoors if the weather ever decides to get its shiz together. It’s supposed to snow 3-4 inches tomorrow. >_>)
In other news, this recipe was inspired by my best friend who happened to be experimenting with things he had lying around at his place! This is super super easy to make and all kinds of delicious! Just throw in some veggies and you’ll be good to go for an easy and satisfying meal!

- How’s spring been treating you? Or has it decided not to be spring where you are either? :'(

I love any and all chile pastes/sauces! I mostly default to sriracha though, I need to use all the other ones I have more often….

It might be harder to find outside of Asian supermarkets, but it’s popular in lots of Korean dishes! :]

Um, this sounds absolutely amazing! I think I need to convince my mum (or sister) to cook it one night! Yummm. Maybe, if I’m feeling really brave, I’ll attempt to make it! Goodness knows I’m not the best cook.
xo, Victoria

You don’t need to be a good cook to make this! As long as you can cook rice and mix stuff together, you’ll be a-okay! :]!
I’ve not heard of this combo before! Lots of flavor packed in there
