@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHad a fabulous time @jonesroadbeauty at their flagship store in NYC @jonesroadbeautyflagship where I got a fabulous makeover for a completely fabulous no-makeup makeup look.  My make up artist @floby1 matched my colors perfectly and i walked out of the store feeling gorgeous!  I am in love with the tinted foundation cream and miracle balm— which I use on my lips and cheeks. So easy. I’m always in a rush so I like that everything can also be applied with your fingers and you don’t have to bother with brushes. 
Thank you Jones Road and @justbobbidotcom for having me!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhip up these Mung Bean Pancakes for a traditional savoury treat. I have so many memories eating these totally addictive pancakes in Gwangjang market in Seoul. 

Packed with flavours from finely chopped cabbage kimchi, spring onions, and red chilli, these pancakes are a classic in Korean cooking. I like to add some pork for extra savouriness, and it’s all held together with blended mung beans for a crispy yet soft texture.

The accompanying dipping sauce, a blend of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and gochugaru, adds the perfect tangy and spicy kick to complement the pancakes.

Serve these pancakes hot with the special dipping sauce for a delicious fusion of flavours.
