Lots of orange-tinted food
Noodles and ramyun and the sort aren’t usually too filling by itself so this go-around I decided to make some ddeokbokki to go with it. The sauce was fine (something I actually have to get used to) but I think my preparation time was too short, and thus the taste didn’t get absorbed into the rice cakes as nicely as I wanted it to be. The sauce served more a “superficial” flavoring so once you got to the center, the taste got a little bland. I’ve always enjoyed nian gao (what rice cakes are known as in Chinese cuisine) so this was a good new food to add to my list of “eat these in order to prevent starvation.” Heh.
