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!!)
