Hello my friends good morning
00:00
depending on where you are in the world
00:02
it's Nina and today I'm going to show you what I eat in a day
00:04
This has been one of my most requested videos for a very long time
00:08
I'm surprised I still haven't made a what I eat in a day video
00:10
I cook a lot on my channel, but I don't really show you guys what I eat in an entire day
00:14
I mean I kind of do because I vlog anyway
00:18
I'm finally going to do this video for guys
00:20
and expose what I eat throughout a normal day
00:21
I should actually first mention that
00:23
the first thing I have is about 8 ounces of water in the morning
00:26
I don't actually count how many ounces
00:29
I just drink a good amount of water. That's my little sticker
00:30
I have merch by the way. It's in the description
00:33
so anyway I have a good amount of water in the morning
00:34
just to get my blood flowing
00:37
and make sure that I have some kind of water
00:38
I'm also gonna mention obviously that what I eat in a day isn't fixed
00:40
This is just what I happens to eat today
00:43
today for breakfast I want to make avocado toast
00:45
So let's go make it
00:48
so usually in the morning
00:54
I will have oatmeal or some kind of toast
00:54
when I say some kind of toast it varies
00:57
a lot of the time I will go for a simple peanut butter toast
00:58
Basically, I have multigrain toast with peanut butter
01:02
and then I put apples and cinnamon on it or instead of apples
01:04
but today I wanted to have
01:07
but today I wanted to have avocado toast
01:10
This is also something I've been having recently
01:12
I will now show you how to make avocado toast
01:14
i have to go and get you guys again
01:17
Here is the bread that I use
01:19
21 whole grains and seeds
01:20
So I have two beautiful slices
01:22
and we're gonna put it in the toaster
01:24
There we go. And then to toast it
01:26
I'm gonna give it a nice four and then there's two slices
01:28
I'm going to now prepare the avocado
01:33
I already washed it
01:35
gonna take a tiny little cutting board
01:36
and i'll get a knife.
01:38
It's very simple. We're just going to cut halfway
01:39
Hopefully it'll turn out
01:44
when you're eating an avocado, make sure it's kind of soft
01:47
and we're going to carefully
01:50
take the pit out just like that
01:51
I prefer my avocado kind of mashed
01:53
I used to do it like in slices, but that's too much work
01:56
It's too much work to make it pretty
01:59
so I'm just gonna slice it just like this
02:01
and my toast is ready guys
02:05
now we have our finished toast
02:06
I'm gonna take a spoon and then I'm just going to scoop everything out
02:08
Now people might say avocado toast is very basic
02:11
and over-eaten, but it's just food okay
02:14
I like avocado toast
02:17
There are lots of healthy fats
02:18
It tastes good and it keeps you feeling energized and full.
02:19
could this be prettier? mayhaps
02:22
but it has character
02:24
we're going to finish this off with some salt pepper and
02:26
just a good amount of salt
02:31
And just for a spicy kick, I'm gonna put red pepper flakes
02:35
It also makes it look pretty
02:39
and there we have our toast. This is my avocado toast
02:40
It's very simple to make
02:44
even though I haven't tried it yet
02:47
we're gonna try it now
02:48
I also like to have a cup of carrot orange juice in the morning
02:49
I don't have it all the time
02:52
But when I want to treat myself, I'll have some juice.
02:54
This is essentially just carrot juice and orange juice together
02:56
It's a really good combination
02:58
but now we're going to have this beautiful avocado toast
03:03
I actually do sometimes like to have sriracha with it
03:06
even though there's already chili pepper flakes
03:09
if it's not spicy enough
03:11
I like to put in a little bit of sriracha for a tang.
03:12
I'm more of a savory food kind of person anyway
03:25
So it's nice to have some avocado toast
03:28
isn't she beautiful. I put some sriracha on it
03:30
so after I eat breakfast
03:34
I'll usually just have a bunch of snacks throughout the day
03:36
I'll eat lunch when I'm with my friends
03:38
because we're outside
03:39
but usually if I'm at home i'll just have snacks throughout the day
03:40
that can be fruits, that can be nuts.
03:43
If I do happen to get hungry around 3 or 4 p.m. I'll have a small lunch
03:45
So we'll see what happens today
03:48
i'll see you guys later
03:52
Hello again, it is almost 4:00 p.m.
03:54
and I'm about to have some snacks
03:56
so usually throughout a day
03:58
I'm either filming or editing
03:59
or taking care of admin stuff or studying
04:01
I study Korean on my own
04:03
or just doing something throughout the day
04:04
but around 3 or 4 p.m I get a little peckish
04:06
and so I just have a bunch of snacks.
04:09
Oh, why did the focus unfocus
04:10
here i have an apple that I washed
04:12
and then I also have a banana
04:14
I feel like I still eat like a college student
04:16
I have these simple fruits.
04:18
I have a bowl of mixed nuts.
04:20
Just a small handful. I love snacking on fruit
04:22
And so these are the fruits that I have right now.
04:24
I love grapes. I love berries
04:26
I love oranges or tangerines
04:28
but I especially love having mixed nuts
04:30
because they are a source of fiber and energy, protein
04:32
They're just nutritionally dense
04:35
and so I like to snack on these as well
04:37
So let's have a taste
04:38
if you have any nut allergies
04:41
please refrain from the nuts that you're allergic to
04:43
These are just simple unsalted nuts
04:45
I had trail mix a lot when I was in college
04:48
but now I just go for the nuts
04:50
because I wasn't a huge fan of the dried fruit
04:52
There are also almonds in this mix
04:54
but occasionally I get a naked almond
04:56
This is a naked almond
04:58
you have been blessed by the naked almond
05:00
other snacks that I like to eat are crackers and hummus
05:02
Maybe I'll have even a bagel
05:05
I just like to eat light throughout the day
05:07
but enough to give me energy and nutrition
05:08
but just little snacks here and there and
05:11
then I also like to drink water
05:12
usually around this time
05:13
I also have a cup of tea or coffee
05:14
not like coffee coffee
05:17
but like an iced americano or an iced latte
05:18
But today I just wasn't really in the mood to have it
05:20
because I feel like I have energy
05:23
just from my own body, not from caffeine
05:25
So I'm trying to keep up with that
05:27
instead of trying to force myself to have energy
05:29
if I feel like I don't have enough energy
05:32
I will have an iced latte or an iced americano
05:33
or a nice cup of tea
05:36
but today I'm just feeling water
05:37
This is a great apple
05:38
I thought I was going to make veggie stir-fry
05:46
but then I realized that actually takes a lot of time
05:48
So I'm going back to my first plan of making doenjang jjigae
05:51
which is a Korean soup
05:54
It's literally my favorite soup
05:56
the way that I'm going to make it, it's a little not conventional
05:57
I have a starter pack for doenjang jjigae
06:01
So all I need to do is open the pack
06:03
put some water and then cook it
06:06
it's just more simple for me
06:08
If you want to make it the traditional way you just get.. here I'll show you
06:09
you just get some doenjang paste
06:12
it's literally just a container of paste
06:13
you put a few spoonfuls into a pot
06:15
you can add dried anchovy or
06:17
whatever kind of base you want
06:19
if you want to make it more flavorful
06:21
but it's also good by itself
06:23
but personally for me
06:24
I'm going to be using this little starter pack.
06:25
So this is doenjang which is already good to go
06:27
I'm gonna use this instead of this because with this
06:30
i actually come up with the flavor
06:32
this, it's already there
06:34
You can get this at an Asian market
06:35
I'm not entirely sure if markets in America have them
06:36
maybe they do me if they don't but
06:40
but we're going to make some doenjang jjigae
06:42
i'm gonna get a cutting board
06:44
So you're gonna need a zucchini
06:46
I have some broccoli and mushroom
06:47
and we're going to cut this all up
06:49
the great thing about this is literally
06:51
you just cut it up and boil it and you're done.
06:52
The broccoli is going to be a side dish
06:54
It's not going to go into the soup
06:55
and I'm going to show you a quick way to prepare broccoli
06:57
It's literally the fastest method there is
06:59
I'm going to use a microwave to cook the broccoli
07:02
So let's just get started.
07:05
I'm going to wash all of my vegetables and chop them up
07:07
I also forgot to mention that there is tofu in the recipe.
07:09
I'll get the tofu later
07:12
for now we're going to cut the vegetables
07:13
here is a zucchini.
07:15
we're going to cut it into moon shaped pieces
07:16
We're gonna cut it in half just like that
07:19
and then we shall cut. Here we go, my friends
07:23
cut it kind of thick not too thick
07:25
you don't want it to be too thin either or else it will become soggy
07:28
I'm gonna get started on the soup now
07:38
I'm just going to pour the contents of this into here
07:40
and then it also says to add 600 CC of water
07:44
I'm gonna add some water
07:50
it basically has a line for you
07:51
So I'm going to add that
07:53
Now we're going to let this boil
08:01
I am now going to cut my mushrooms
08:04
just into quarter sized pieces
08:07
we've got lots of veggies.
08:24
I'm not really sure how this is going to fit
08:26
but we'll try our best
08:28
So the broccoli recipe is a variation of Korean sesame broccoli
08:29
This is basically the lazy version of sesame broccoli
08:33
I'm essentially steaming the broccoli in the microwave
08:36
and then I'm going to toss in sesame oil sesame seeds also salt and pepper all that
08:38
But yeah, this is basically the laziest Korean meal
08:41
I've made doenjang jjigae a lot on this channel
08:44
but I haven't made it in a specifically food-related video
08:46
we're just going to let it boil
08:52
and then add all of our stuff
08:53
You're just boiling everything together essentially
08:54
This is really easily. That's why I wanted to cook this
08:56
I am now going to add my vegetables
08:58
it's gonna splash a little bit so this might be dangerous
09:01
There we go, yes, yes get in there.
09:05
Oh my god, it's hot
09:08
let's go, get in there
09:10
We're literally just letting this boil until the vegetables are all cooked
09:13
And then we're going to toss in our tofu
09:16
and it should be done
09:18
So the soup has been cooking for about five ish minutes
09:19
and then I just lowered it to a nice 3
09:22
at this point we're just letting it chill by itself
09:25
I'm gonna lower it just a little bit so it doesn't burn behind me
09:27
next I'm going to cut my tofu.
09:31
This is just firm tofu.
09:32
So we're just going to cut this into nice cubes
09:34
I'm going to cut it in half first
09:36
and then another half
09:39
until we get quarters
09:40
and then we're going to cut this way
09:42
you don't really need to worry about how you cut it.
09:45
This is just how I like it. I like it nice in cubes
09:47
and then after you cut it this way
09:50
we're going to finish it off by cutting the other way
09:51
so we get nice bite-sized cubes
09:53
I'm going to make these a little big
09:57
I like big pieces of tofu
09:59
This is going to absorb all the flavor of the doenjang
10:00
So in goes the tofu
10:03
it's going to make a bit of a splash
10:05
We're just gonna cook this off for a few more minutes
10:09
just until the tofu is nice and hot
10:11
and it absorbs some soup
10:13
literally with doenjang jjigae there's no perfect one.
10:15
It's just nice Korean comfort food
10:17
so while we have our soup boiling
10:21
i put it at a nice low heat
10:23
because we're pretty much done now
10:24
now I'm going to make my broccoli
10:26
I washed some broccoli and we're going to make this
10:28
this is the laziest version of sesame broccoli that you will encounter
10:30
We're gonna take a nice plate
10:34
and since I washed the broccoli
10:36
it has some water left on it
10:38
That's going to help it steam
10:39
I should cut it first cuz they are kind of big
10:41
I'm gonna cut the broccoli just a tiny bit
10:43
Make it into good sized pieces.
10:46
We're going to season our broccoli.
10:48
I'm going to use garlic powder, salt, and pepper
10:50
We just want a decent amount.
10:53
We don't believe in measurements in an Asian household.
10:55
That should be fine. Maybe a little bit more
10:58
a good amount of salt
11:01
and then some pepper
11:03
And now we're going to microwave this
11:06
microwave-safe plate on top
11:10
and we're going to literally just cook this for I want to say like a minute or two
11:12
I'll give it a minute and then just add 30 more seconds.
11:16
Here we go, my friends
11:18
We're going to cook this for a minute or so
11:20
I'm gonna give it a minute first
11:23
and then I'll add 30 seconds if need it be
11:26
welcome to my cooking show
11:28
I'm going to taste the soup real quick
11:37
the soup's delicious.
11:41
I did cheat a little bit by using a pack
11:46
But essentially it's the same point
11:48
you add doenjang you add whatever bases you want
11:50
whether that's dried anchovy
11:53
kelp, mushroom, whatever it is
11:55
now our broccoli is done
11:58
We're going to see if it needs more time
12:00
it's going to be very hot so get your mitts
12:01
I'm gonna check it real quick and see what happens
12:04
Be very careful handling these plates.
12:07
The steam also is going to go into your face
12:09
So make sure you're not close to it.
12:11
I think one minute is perfect you guys
12:13
I'm gonna show you guys
12:17
make sure you do not touch the plates with your bare hands
12:18
Here is the beautiful broccoli
12:22
so the final touches
12:25
I'm going to add sesame oil and sesame seeds
12:26
to make it a nice Korean flavor
12:29
You've got some nice roasted sesame seeds
12:31
then I also have a nice bottle of sesame oil.
12:34
We're gonna toss this around a little bit.
12:41
Oh it already smells good.
12:43
I wish you guys could smell this.
12:44
This looks beautiful
12:46
I'm gonna taste one real quick.
12:47
omg that is the best lazy sesame broccoli i've had
12:54
and that is our ever so quick sesame broccoli
12:57
This is one of my favorite side dishes in Korean restaurants
12:59
this is my favorite banchan
13:03
Our soup is also nice and beautiful.
13:04
This is going to be A MEAL
13:07
I'm gonna serve this with rice, kimchi, and the broccoli.
13:09
I am quite pleased with myself
13:12
We've got our broccoli, our kimchi, rice and our doenjang jjigae
13:15
I also have water right here.
13:19
that is so good, please
13:27
gotta eat it with rice of course
13:29
the broccoli is fantastic
13:39
This is literally my go-to meal
13:43
it's so easy to make
13:45
we've got some kimchi over here, too
13:46
okay I'm just gonna eat the rest now bye
13:52
I am tired and full
13:56
But that was a look into what I eat in a day
13:59
the days vary obviously
14:01
sometimes I'll go out to eat
14:03
Sometimes I will have a drink
14:04
I mean like boba or a coffee or a latte
14:08
if I'm with my friends I'll go eat lunch with them
14:12
But this is what I ate today.
14:14
I hope you enjoyed this video
14:15
I am going to go do my skincare and go to sleep
14:16
but that is going to be it for me
14:19
we're gonna bring it in for a hug as always
14:21
thank you for watching and I will see you next time
14:23
goodbye, my friends :)
14:24
sending you off with a heart! pyoong
14:25
Okay, bye ;) (love y'all!!)
14:30
