[English]

Hello my friends good morning

or good evening

depending on where you are in the world

it's Nina and today I'm going to show you what I eat in a day

This has been one of my most requested videos for a very long time

I'm surprised I still haven't made a what I eat in a day video

I cook a lot on my channel, but I don't really show you guys what I eat in an entire day

I mean I kind of do because I vlog anyway

I'm finally going to do this video for guys

and expose what I eat throughout a normal day

I should actually first mention that

the first thing I have is about 8 ounces of water in the morning

I don't actually count how many ounces

I just drink a good amount of water. That's my little sticker

I have merch by the way. It's in the description

so anyway I have a good amount of water in the morning

just to get my blood flowing

and make sure that I have some kind of water

I'm also gonna mention obviously that what I eat in a day isn't fixed

This is just what I happens to eat today

today for breakfast I want to make avocado toast

So let's go make it

neen!

boop

Hello

so usually in the morning

I will have oatmeal or some kind of toast

when I say some kind of toast it varies

a lot of the time I will go for a simple peanut butter toast

Basically, I have multigrain toast with peanut butter

and then I put apples and cinnamon on it or instead of apples

I'll slice bananas

but today I wanted to have

that was my dog

but today I wanted to have avocado toast

This is also something I've been having recently

I will now show you how to make avocado toast

i have to go and get you guys again

Here is the bread that I use

21 whole grains and seeds

So I have two beautiful slices

and we're gonna put it in the toaster

There we go. And then to toast it

I'm gonna give it a nice four and then there's two slices

Then we start

I'm going to now prepare the avocado

I already washed it

gonna take a tiny little cutting board

and i'll get a knife.

It's very simple. We're just going to cut halfway

Hopefully it'll turn out

beautiful

when you're eating an avocado, make sure it's kind of soft

and we're going to carefully

take the pit out just like that

I prefer my avocado kind of mashed

I used to do it like in slices, but that's too much work

It's too much work to make it pretty

so I'm just gonna slice it just like this

be very careful

and my toast is ready guys

now we have our finished toast

I'm gonna take a spoon and then I'm just going to scoop everything out

Now people might say avocado toast is very basic

and over-eaten, but it's just food okay

I like avocado toast

There are lots of healthy fats

It tastes good and it keeps you feeling energized and full.

could this be prettier? mayhaps

but it has character

now on to the next

we're going to finish this off with some salt pepper and

Red pepper flakes

just a good amount of salt

And just for a spicy kick, I'm gonna put red pepper flakes

It also makes it look pretty

and there we have our toast. This is my avocado toast

It's very simple to make

but very delicious

even though I haven't tried it yet

we're gonna try it now

I also like to have a cup of carrot orange juice in the morning

I don't have it all the time

But when I want to treat myself, I'll have some juice.

This is essentially just carrot juice and orange juice together

It's a really good combination

Yes

but now we're going to have this beautiful avocado toast

I actually do sometimes like to have sriracha with it

even though there's already chili pepper flakes

if it's not spicy enough

I like to put in a little bit of sriracha for a tang.

Here we go

that's good

I'm more of a savory food kind of person anyway

So it's nice to have some avocado toast

isn't she beautiful. I put some sriracha on it

Yes

so after I eat breakfast

I'll usually just have a bunch of snacks throughout the day

I'll eat lunch when I'm with my friends

because we're outside

but usually if I'm at home i'll just have snacks throughout the day

that can be fruits, that can be nuts.

If I do happen to get hungry around 3 or 4 p.m. I'll have a small lunch

So we'll see what happens today

i'll see you guys later

neen! boop

Hello again, it is almost 4:00 p.m.

and I'm about to have some snacks

so usually throughout a day

I'm either filming or editing

or taking care of admin stuff or studying

I study Korean on my own

or just doing something throughout the day

but around 3 or 4 p.m I get a little peckish

and so I just have a bunch of snacks.

Oh, why did the focus unfocus

here i have an apple that I washed

and then I also have a banana

I feel like I still eat like a college student

I have these simple fruits.

I have a bowl of mixed nuts.

Just a small handful. I love snacking on fruit

And so these are the fruits that I have right now.

I love grapes. I love berries

I love oranges or tangerines

but I especially love having mixed nuts

because they are a source of fiber and energy, protein

They're just nutritionally dense

and so I like to snack on these as well

So let's have a taste

This is a cashew

if you have any nut allergies

please refrain from the nuts that you're allergic to

These are just simple unsalted nuts

I had trail mix a lot when I was in college

but now I just go for the nuts

because I wasn't a huge fan of the dried fruit

There are also almonds in this mix

but occasionally I get a naked almond

This is a naked almond

you have been blessed by the naked almond

other snacks that I like to eat are crackers and hummus

Maybe I'll have even a bagel

I just like to eat light throughout the day

but enough to give me energy and nutrition

but just little snacks here and there and

then I also like to drink water

usually around this time

I also have a cup of tea or coffee

not like coffee coffee

but like an iced americano or an iced latte

But today I just wasn't really in the mood to have it

because I feel like I have energy

just from my own body, not from caffeine

So I'm trying to keep up with that

instead of trying to force myself to have energy

if I feel like I don't have enough energy

I will have an iced latte or an iced americano

or a nice cup of tea

but today I'm just feeling water

This is a great apple

neen! boop

I thought I was going to make veggie stir-fry

but then I realized that actually takes a lot of time

So I'm going back to my first plan of making doenjang jjigae

which is a Korean soup

It's literally my favorite soup

the way that I'm going to make it, it's a little not conventional

I have a starter pack for doenjang jjigae

So all I need to do is open the pack

toss it into a pan

put some water and then cook it

it's just more simple for me

If you want to make it the traditional way you just get.. here I'll show you

you just get some doenjang paste

it's literally just a container of paste

you put a few spoonfuls into a pot

you can add dried anchovy or

whatever kind of base you want

if you want to make it more flavorful

but it's also good by itself

but personally for me

I'm going to be using this little starter pack.

So this is doenjang which is already good to go

I'm gonna use this instead of this because with this

i actually come up with the flavor

this, it's already there

You can get this at an Asian market

I'm not entirely sure if markets in America have them

maybe they do me if they don't but

but we're going to make some doenjang jjigae

i'm gonna get a cutting board

So you're gonna need a zucchini

I have some broccoli and mushroom

and we're going to cut this all up

the great thing about this is literally

you just cut it up and boil it and you're done.

The broccoli is going to be a side dish

It's not going to go into the soup

and I'm going to show you a quick way to prepare broccoli

It's literally the fastest method there is

I'm going to use a microwave to cook the broccoli

eat your greens

So let's just get started.

I'm going to wash all of my vegetables and chop them up

I also forgot to mention that there is tofu in the recipe.

I'll get the tofu later

for now we're going to cut the vegetables

here is a zucchini.

we're going to cut it into moon shaped pieces

We're gonna cut it in half just like that

and then we shall cut. Here we go, my friends

cut it kind of thick not too thick

you don't want it to be too thin either or else it will become soggy

There we go

I'm gonna get started on the soup now

I'm just going to pour the contents of this into here

and then it also says to add 600 CC of water

Yummy

I'm gonna add some water

it basically has a line for you

So I'm going to add that

Now we're going to let this boil

I am now going to cut my mushrooms

just into quarter sized pieces

we've got lots of veggies.

I'm not really sure how this is going to fit

but we'll try our best

So the broccoli recipe is a variation of Korean sesame broccoli

This is basically the lazy version of sesame broccoli

I'm essentially steaming the broccoli in the microwave

and then I'm going to toss in sesame oil sesame seeds also salt and pepper all that

But yeah, this is basically the laziest Korean meal

I've made doenjang jjigae a lot on this channel

but I haven't made it in a specifically food-related video

so here it is

the soup is going

we're just going to let it boil

and then add all of our stuff

You're just boiling everything together essentially

This is really easily. That's why I wanted to cook this

I am now going to add my vegetables

it's gonna splash a little bit so this might be dangerous

There we go, yes, yes get in there.

Oh my god, it's hot

please be careful

let's go, get in there

nice

everything fit

We're literally just letting this boil until the vegetables are all cooked

And then we're going to toss in our tofu

and it should be done

So the soup has been cooking for about five ish minutes

and then I just lowered it to a nice 3

at this point we're just letting it chill by itself

I'm gonna lower it just a little bit so it doesn't burn behind me

next I'm going to cut my tofu.

This is just firm tofu.

So we're just going to cut this into nice cubes

I'm going to cut it in half first

and then another half

until we get quarters

and then we're going to cut this way

very simple

you don't really need to worry about how you cut it.

This is just how I like it. I like it nice in cubes

and then after you cut it this way

we're going to finish it off by cutting the other way

so we get nice bite-sized cubes

I'm going to make these a little big

I like big pieces of tofu

This is going to absorb all the flavor of the doenjang

So in goes the tofu

oh so carefully

it's going to make a bit of a splash

There we go

We're just gonna cook this off for a few more minutes

just until the tofu is nice and hot

and it absorbs some soup

literally with doenjang jjigae there's no perfect one.

It's just nice Korean comfort food

so while we have our soup boiling

i put it at a nice low heat

because we're pretty much done now

now I'm going to make my broccoli

I washed some broccoli and we're going to make this

this is the laziest version of sesame broccoli that you will encounter

We're gonna take a nice plate

and since I washed the broccoli

it has some water left on it

That's going to help it steam

I should cut it first cuz they are kind of big

I'm gonna cut the broccoli just a tiny bit

Make it into good sized pieces.

We're going to season our broccoli.

I'm going to use garlic powder, salt, and pepper

We just want a decent amount.

We don't believe in measurements in an Asian household.

That should be fine. Maybe a little bit more

Oh, okay

a good amount of salt

and then some pepper

And now we're going to microwave this

I'm going to put a

microwave-safe plate on top

and we're going to literally just cook this for I want to say like a minute or two

I'll give it a minute and then just add 30 more seconds.

Here we go, my friends

We're going to cook this for a minute or so

I'm gonna give it a minute first

and then I'll add 30 seconds if need it be

welcome to my cooking show

done

I'm going to taste the soup real quick

the soup's delicious.

omg that's so good

I did cheat a little bit by using a pack

But essentially it's the same point

you add doenjang you add whatever bases you want

whether that's dried anchovy

kelp, mushroom, whatever it is

and you have soup

now our broccoli is done

We're going to see if it needs more time

it's going to be very hot so get your mitts

I'm gonna check it real quick and see what happens

Be very careful handling these plates.

The steam also is going to go into your face

So make sure you're not close to it.

That looks good.

I think one minute is perfect you guys

This is so cute.

I'm gonna show you guys

make sure you do not touch the plates with your bare hands

Here is the beautiful broccoli

so the final touches

I'm going to add sesame oil and sesame seeds

to make it a nice Korean flavor

You've got some nice roasted sesame seeds

then I also have a nice bottle of sesame oil.

Here it is.

Nice drizzle

and then our seeds

We're gonna toss this around a little bit.

Oh it already smells good.

I wish you guys could smell this.

This looks beautiful

I'm gonna taste one real quick.

Here we go

omg that is the best lazy sesame broccoli i've had

and that is our ever so quick sesame broccoli

This is one of my favorite side dishes in Korean restaurants

or banchan

this is my favorite banchan

Our soup is also nice and beautiful.

This is going to be A MEAL

I'm gonna serve this with rice, kimchi, and the broccoli.

I am quite pleased with myself

We've got our broccoli, our kimchi, rice and our doenjang jjigae

I also have water right here.

Let's eat.

here we go

Yes

that is so good, please

gotta eat it with rice of course

wow

the broccoli is fantastic

This is literally my go-to meal

it's so easy to make

we've got some kimchi over here, too

Mmm

okay I'm just gonna eat the rest now bye

neen! boop

whew okay

I am tired and full

But that was a look into what I eat in a day

the days vary obviously

sometimes I'll go out to eat

Sometimes I will have a drink

Not alcoholic.

I mean like boba or a coffee or a latte

if I'm with my friends I'll go eat lunch with them

But this is what I ate today.

I hope you enjoyed this video

I am going to go do my skincare and go to sleep

but that is going to be it for me

we're gonna bring it in for a hug as always

thank you for watching and I will see you next time

goodbye, my friends :)

sending you off with a heart! pyoong

Okay, bye ;) (love y'all!!)
