Bulgogi recipe 불고기

This was my first attempt to make bulgogi and I must say it wasn't hard to make at all. And the result is just so enjoyable! Like all my other korean cravings this started last year whilst I was in China. My korean friends invited me to cook and eat bulgogi with them. Also China has a more and more korean barbecue places. It quickly found a spot in my heart. In my opinion it taste the best with rice and lettuce. Sadly I don't have a picture of how to eat it (because me and my parents demolished it so fast ^.^)  but you can easily google it! So here is the recipe to it: 

Ingredients for about 2-3 servings: 300gr. of beef tenderloin,  a carrot, 1 1/2 onions,  1/2 a pear,  2 gloves of garlic, a thumb size piece of ginger, 1 1/2 tbs brown sugar,  1 tbs of sesame oil, 1 1/2 tbs of soy sauce and ground pepper

1. Step: Cut the beef into 1-2 cm long strips

2. Step: Cut the pear and half of the onion. Also add the ginger and garlic and puree it

3. Step: Put the meat into a bowl and pour over the pear-onion mixture

4. Step: Cut the onion and the carrot into slice and mix it with the meat. Than season it with the sugar, soy sauce, pepper and sesame oil 

5. Step: Mix everything evenly 

6. Step: Put plastic foil over it and let it marinate in the refrigerator over night

7. Step: The final step, you can either put it on the grill or if you are just lazy like me fry it in the pan for about 10-15 minutes and then you can enjoy your delicious bulgogi! 

Haul (H&M,Drugstore,Kiehl's)

Whilst I was at home I had a little shopping spree. Although I live in Munich with so many different shops. I still like to go shopping in my hometown just because I don't have to keep up with all the masses of people. This haul is not very summer appropriate but all of the things that I bought are really necessary!

Jeans, Shirt and jacket from H&M 

I know we have June but I saw these ages ago in H&M and really liked them but my size were all sold out in Munich so when I saw these in the local H&M I just had to snatch them up. I'm pretty sure that I will get tons of use out of them in the autumn/winter time!

Rather boring stuff from the drugstore-I needed a new moisturizes so I wanted to give this one a try. I love sheet masks and this is the only one I know to get hold of in Germany and it is even produced in South Korea and the last thing was just a new sunscreen since my year in China I am even more conscious about the sun that is why I bought the SPF 50 one

I also made a sneaky visit to the Kiehl's counter...

…and bought the infamous Midnight Recovery Concentrate from Kiehl's-the lady from the counter also gave me lots of samples from various other products!

Heatwave

I went back home the last week because we had some days off from uni. The weather has been extremely hot the couple of days. And I must say about myself that I am not that capable in extreme heat because I overheat quite easily. So I wasn't really productive but I made sure to ease me through the days with a few nice things. I had a lovely week; spending time with my parents, relaxing, meeting friends and having barbecues! But now I really have to start studying for my exams.

Watermelon, watermelon- it's the best thing on a hot day! So refreshing and tasty also I have been listing to Beyonce's 'Drunk in love' and even she sings about it ^.^

Summer essentials: A good book-I'm currently reading 'Mini Shopaholic' I love all of Sophie Kinsellas books because they are really easy and fun to read, Stawberrrrrries (!) another awesome thing to come home to- I think the strawberries from our village are the most delicious ones and the few times that I was outside I made sure to wear my sunglasses and a high sunscreen!

Finally wore my Birkenstocks out - I think they will be my summer staple piece they are just sooo comfortable and I even convinced my mum to buy herself a pair

 Shirt-H&M, Shorts-Vintage, Shoes- Birkenstocks, Watch-Casio and Rayban-Sunglasses

Breakfast time: Heaven in my mouth!!-waffles with berries and maple syrup

Because of the immense heat I wasn't able to do anything so most of my time I stayed in bed watching youtube videos- I was watching 'Beautycrushs clothes rail'

I hope you all had a lovely week and enjoyed the weather!
