I bought the mandoos at our local Korean grocery store (H-Mart) but you can also find them at Costco. Simply place them in an oiled/heated frying pan straight from the bag and add a tablespoon or two of water. This softens them up quite nicely. Let them brown for a few minutes and then flip them. I’ve made these from scratch on many an occasion, but BiBiGo’s dumplings taste so good that it sometimes isn’t worth the effort.
The pajun is a Trader Joe’s purchase. These are so good that even my very picky dad loves them. These are even simpler to heat up. Just pop them in the toaster oven (or oven) at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Be sure to flip them at the half way mark. That’s it!
Here’s a picture of my rice maker. While it looks kind of space-agey, it’s pretty simple to use. And, it somehow makes the best-tasting rice. PLUS, it even keeps it warm for a couple days which is so convenient if you eat lots of rice. I have to say, the neuro fuzzy logic in this rice maker makes me a little nervous, though. I’m afraid that I’ll wake up one day to find that it’s overtaken my kitchen and my life! Perhaps I’ve watched too many sci-fi movies. haha.
We were excited to add another nut-free cookie product to our repertoire. Belgian Boys recently sent us some nut-free treats to try and I’m happy to report that the girls just LOVED them! These are labeled with a “nut-free” symbol which put’s Big Sis’ anxious mind at ease.
But do note that this product below used to be manufactured in a nut-free facility. They had to change their co-packing facility for the waffle chips this summer due to operational reasons and the new facility has a risk of cross contamination in almond, pecan, macademia and hazelnuts. The nuts are not present on the same equipment but are in the same facility on another packing line and therefor there is a slight chance of cross-contamination.
So that was the girls’ Korean lunch box. Super easy, super yummy. The girls ate just about all of it up. Little Sis’ only complaint was that there wasn’t enough soy sauce for all the food. But the container sure was cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Feel free to make my day by leaving me a comment, following my blog via email, on Facebook or on Instagram – the more the merrier!
