☔️ A Rainy Day Comfort Meal

Spicy Pork Skin Stir-Fry, Buckwheat Noodles, and a Glass of Makgeolli
When it rains, this combo always comes to mind.
It’s not just food—it’s healing.


🌧️ The sound of rain tapping on my window

From early morning, the rain was falling softly,
and my mood started sinking just a little.
One of those days when you want to curl up,
turn off the world, and treat yourself.

Then someone says,
“Wanna stir-fry some pork skin?”
And just like that, today has a new mission.


🐷 Stir-Fried Pork Skin – Chewy, Spicy, and Comforting

No greasy mess—just pan-seared until crisp,
with a spoon of doenjang (fermented soybean paste),
thin slices of garlic, and chopped spicy green peppers.
This isn’t just a side dish.
It’s comfort on a plate.

Take a fresh lettuce leaf,
add a piece of pork skin,
a slice of garlic, a bit of pepper, and some sauce—
wrap it, bite it, close your eyes...

And feel happiness explode in your mouth:
chewy + spicy + savory + warm.



🍶 A Sip of Makgeolli – Calm in a Cup

Follow it with a sip of chilled makgeolli.
That slightly tangy, nutty taste soothes the heart.
The kind of sip that makes you say:

“Wait, what was I stressed about again?”

Gone. Just like that.


🍜 Buckwheat Noodles – Soulful and Steamy

Let’s not forget the quiet hero:
buckwheat kalguksu (noodles).

Smooth and chewy noodles
swimming in a savory broth infused with shellfish,
each slurp warming you from the inside out.

And when the sweat beads start to form?
That’s when you know:
Summer doesn’t stand a chance.




💜 Why this combo is perfect for a rainy day

  1. Stir-fried pork skin – bold and comforting

  2. Lettuce wraps with garlic, pepper, and doenjang – classic harmony

  3. A glass of makgeolli – to calm the soul

  4. Buckwheat noodles – a warm hug in a bowl

Together, it’s not just a meal.
It’s a soft landing after a hard day.


🥢 From My Table to Yours

Dyeing your hair, running a business, even just living—
sometimes feels like being stir-fried over high heat.
But maybe that’s what makes us stronger, richer, and more flavorful.
Just like pork skin turns beautifully chewy after the heat,
and soup tastes deeper after it simmers...

Today’s meal reminded me:
Even a rainy day can be delicious.
