Give me a Bahn Mi!

It's been a while since we last updated. Thanks to the overflowing love from parents, we haven't been cooking much at all since their return. We did attempted to do a few dishes on our own but this was the only one that's worth featuring.

Since I had a half-day off, which may I add that I highly deserved and needed, I went to Costco and picked up a pack of the bulgogi that everyone raved about. We cooked it as is for the first day on the skillet and ate it with rice and stir-fried broccoli and mushroom. Nothing too special. Since we had a 1/2 pack left, we decided to make Bahn Mi.

I picked up some sweet rolls from Boudin, a jalapeno, and used the left over cilantro from our mussel night. This was one easy meal and packed with flavors. And…it only cost us $3 altogether besides the meat.



My mom made some pickled carrots and radish since I was craving it and it was the best way to use them. As we were cooking the bulgogi on the skillet, we warmed up the bread, cut up the jalapeno, and fried an egg for each of us. The next step was just assembling. Spread the mayo first on the warmed bread, packed the bulgogi mean inside, added the pickled veggies, topped with jalapeno, cilantro and the fried egg.

First bite…..OMG HEAVEN! Second bite….Heaven x 2! It was one of those really quiet meals because we couldn't chew fast enough to take the next bite. Easiest meal ever and I seriously can't emphasize how good it was…..(ok, I'm literally drooling as I'm typing this reminiscing how crazy good it was)
