As a vegetarian a lot of Korean food is âforbiddenâ for me. I did twice sort of make my own vegetarian versions of bulgogi though. Admittedly, the only authentic Korean ingredient in that was the far too hot bulgogi sauce, which gave my rice a beautiful red colour, but was impossible to eat without a popsicle in one hand during eating and lots of ice-cream afterwards. 
Later I discovered there were also regular bulgogi sauces, that werenât as hot ⊠
Another problem is that in my area hunting for anything Korean is like going on a quest for the Holy Grail.

@mirjam_465 The Korean vegan (thekoreanvegan.com) has a lot of veganized recipes of Korean dishes. Maube you can check them out 
Iâve tried making some of the dishes vegetarian / vegan because I went through a vegan phase myself due to having a meat sensitivity for a couple of years. So for most Korean dishes I know an alternative version. For bulgogi however⊠maybe if you replace the meat with mushrooms like king oyster, shiitake or oyster mushrooms?
@piranna I never found it in a restaurant either, so I just make it at home. I used to crush the ice into snowflakes in my high-powered blender, but last year I got a kakigori ice shaver from Japan and now I can shave the ice into the right consistency 
Now I can enjoy the Chinese version as well (Baobing) 
My skincare routine is: 1. cleanser, 2. toner, 3. exfoliant or serum 4. moisturizer 5. sunscreen (or at night some face mist). Not using any Korean brands though, only when I do one of those face masks that you see in dramas all the time.

Cool! Thanks.
I once tried it with vegetarian âbeefâ and once with vegetarian âchickenâ. Mushrooms sound great though. Actually, a Korean guy I talked to about it also suggested mushrooms. Still have to try it someday.

Have you ever done homemade skincare products? Do you have some recipes to share? I remember you were doing so for haircare routine!!
I have to wash my hair every day bec of covid and going outside. Do you have any tips to protect and nourish hair from everyday wash?

Do you use shampoo with harsh chemicals like sulfates? I would skip those Or wash your hair with just water and an oil based soap.
My favorite toners are witch hazel or a infused apple cider vinegar & water mix I use it when I run out of my toner. And shea butter is a great moisturizer or a mix of oils.

I heard some people wash their hair with only conditioner (instead of shampoo, not in addition), but Iâm not sure it would be sufficient to get potential virusses out of your hair.
And then thereâs the No Poo âmovementâ with all kinds of variations (just brushing, washing with only water or homemade recipes like Feyfayer uses. Not sure if thereâs anything useful for you @piranna, but you might want to google âno pooâ.

Thank you so much for your tips!! What type of mix of oils? I know very little about this
I still use the coconut hack from irmar!
What do you mean âinfused apple cider vinegarâ? Is it something you infuse or do you buy it?
Let me check my shampoo! Oh yeah, it has sulfate! It was a dermo laboratory brand shampoo⊠weird!
I will look for another one. It is difficult to find a shampoo that goes with youâŠ

I am a sorry NO BINGO HERE person. Canât get most of these items in Idaho.
If by âlove of riceâ you mean that I eat rice all the time, I do ever since I was a little kid.
Oh hey Culture shock⊠My mom told me that when she and dad first got married she served rice at dinner and he just looked at it.
âWhy are you giving me rice for dinner? Rice (pudding) is breakfast food.â
She was like, âWhat do you mean rice pudding? This is steamed rice, You eat it with your other food.â 
Yea, he was a meat and potato guy and my mom was a pasta and rice cooker.
AWW!! My mom was so MEAN! DO you know she knew how to make HOME MADE ravioli from scratch! Like the pasta and the stuffings! She even had a 3 foot long, waffelated ravioli stick. (That was really good for chasing off annoying siblings! 
⊠oops! but I digress. ) Did she EVER Make it for us!?! NO WAY! She just bought some at Lucca delicatessen. 
She claimed it was too much work. 
Sheâd make Bolognese and Marinara all the time with store bought noodles but never pasta from scratch.
Iâve never bought spaghetti sauce in a jar cuz I was spoiled and learned how to make it better than store bought.

I think that in the 4-part Japanese âSecret Forestâ series we are shown, in great detail, how she makes some spirit out of rice. I donât remember whether they called it sake, though.

Do you have a clip of it? I tried to look for it, but couldnât find it so easily, so I didnât watch it.
Although, if itâs a Japanese series, she probably used a koji starter, which is common in Japan. Although, I didnât see the series, so Iâm just guessing here
I love koji, itâs so versatile. You can make sake, miso, soy sauce, fish sauce, dried aged beef, etc., with it.
Nuruk however, is completely different, so I canât use koji as a sub TT.
@piranna Most shampooâs have sulfates in it though. Itâs a cheap and very effective way of stripping everything from your hair, but itâs often too harsh. Most shampooâs in stores have sulfates.
I make it myself. I have so many infused vinegars at home, but the one I use for my hair would be rosemary infused or rose infused vinegar. Just put dried / fresh rosemary or dried roses in your vinegar and put it in a dark spot for 6 weeks. Shake every so often. After 6 weeks, filter and use
My favorite oils are sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and avocado oil. You can blend them the way that works best for your hair. I donât have a set amount. Based on what my hair is like, I add more of one of the oils than the others based on their properties (for example 33% / 33% / 33% or 50% / 25% / 25%), which you can google for each oil. Some of the oils were sold out, so now I will try to blend in some MCT coconut oil and pumpkin seed oil.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to tell you where I watched it, but you can find it pretty easily with a simple search.
It wasnât a clip, it was the whole thing, and I really donât remember in which of the 4 parts either. I am guessing winter? But itâs a soothing, interesting film/drama, so itâs worth watching in its entirety. Of course I had to cover my eyes when she killed the birds and then proceeded to process them for food.
As for the liquor, if I remember correctly she started by soaking/boiling the rice and letting it ferment. Something like that. I donât seem to remember any starter, but of course I may be wrong.

Haha, I grew up with having pancakes for dinner. But when I was living in Finland my Canadian flatmate told me she ate them for breakfast! Once a Spanish girl who lived in our street came over to make pancakes with her, early in the morning. I was served first, cause I had to leave soon cause of an exam. That was the first time I had pancakes for breakfast.
Later I heard from other foreign students that they had pancakes for dessert! 
Well, nowadays I just eat pancakes whenever I want to, hahaha.
