you just need a can of black beans.

Then, we're going to wash and strain them. The beans are washed, so I'm going

them. The beans are washed, so I'm going to put it in some Tupperware. Then, as

of agave, and some garlic powder.

Pulling out the soon tofu. Just like

really soft tofu.

going to add that to the bowl. I'm also

going to do some kimchi and some taan radish aka daon. Guys, I'm sorry I have to do it. Everything but the bagel seasoning going on the rice. And this is

what you call a Korean American meal. I

feel like it's missing a little bit of sauce, and I'm a sauce girl. So, in my dirty bowl, I'm going to whip up a random AF sauce. Okay, let's use some

goujang. Go jang. Miso paste, garlic

goujang. Go jang. Miso paste, garlic powder, agave, and sesame oil. No soy

sauce cuz I feel like the miso is already kind of salty. Final paste. Try

freaking amazing. Cheers.

M. Loki. The beans are the best part.

I'm going to chow down on this and probably have some fruits and maybe ice cream for my dessert.

Good morning. All right, guys. Today I

woke up early because I want to do like a full clean of my house. I'm making

quick matcha. I'm going to make a classic usucha aka I'm preparing matcha in the traditional Japanese way. Just

simply with water and whisk it.

I'm using our okumadori first harvest matcha. This one I really like if I'm

matcha. This one I really like if I'm having like plain just because it's a little bit more floral. So, I feel like it tastes more like tea undertones. Now

that I've whisked it, I'm going to add some more hot water. This is at about like a 165 and anywhere between 140 to

176. Supposed to be like that good range

176. Supposed to be like that good range for matcha. Ta. Cheers.
