Will Power


Lately, I am obsessed with both Korean and Indian Food. After having Indian three times last week, I decided to have Korean for a change. So, yesterday I made some Kong Jang (soybean side dish), a savoury dish I've wanted to try making long ago.

Was already boiling the soybeans half way when I realised that we don't have light soy sauce! I found bottles of sweet soy sauce, thick/dark soy sauce and fish sauce by the stove but there was no sign of light soy sauce! It was still early in the morning. I didn't feel like going out PLUS supermarkets don't open until 9am. Haaiii... worse come to worse, I might have to turn the cooking soybean into 糖水 (sweet soup). I wonder how disgusting it would taste ;p

I was quite sure that we have a bottle of light soy sauce somewhere coz I remembered mum getting one just a few weeks ago. Soy sauce is the most essential seasoning of this dish! So, the search continued.

My determination and persistence paid off. I finally found it! *so relieved* There wasn't much left but it was better than having none.


My Kong Jang tasted superb! It goes so well with celery sticks, porridge, rice and anything your creative mind can think of!



I'm definitely making more to keep in the fridge this weekend :) This time, I must check my ingredients beforehand or else, it would be yucky sweet soybean soup ;p
