It turned more sour than usual today, it was delicious as always!
Lots of dried trumpet mushrooms? that Whitney likes in kimchi chigae.
My favorite in it is still cabbage, this hasn’t changed since I got hooked on kimchi chigae in nashville :P
Yumyumyum.
I made a lot cuz I like it so much!
And I made the soybean in fried tofu bag, I just remembered this that I used to eat when I was a kid, and I craved it. Nostalgic.
I should’ve cooked beans longer though!
