Weekend Morning Reset Button #Pho
On a weekend morning, you want to wake up slowly, but your stomach is already in wake-up mode. That's when Vietnamese Pho comes to mind. The hot soup washes away the week's fatigue, and the fresh herbs refresh your spirit. With a sip of Pho, it feels like you can reset everything with just one bowl. It's like rewarding yourself for a week of hard work.

The Perfect Companion for Late Nights #Ramen
Staying up late watching movies or getting lost in games, and suddenly it's midnight. At such times, hunger is inevitable. The perfect companion for late nights is, of course, ramen. Instant or from the convenience store, it doesn't matter. Sipping hot soup while reflecting on the day or simply enjoying the quiet of the night makes staying up late not so bad. But if you have a date the next day, maybe skip the ramen.

The Joy of Cooking Pasta #Pasta
After a long day at work, coming home tired, but when something good happened, you want to treat yourself with pasta. Rummaging through the fridge to make something with what you have. Whether it's tomato sauce or a simple olive oil base, the time spent cooking and eating is a moment to savor the small achievements of the day. It's a gentle reward for a tired self. Cherishing the 7 minutes to boil pasta in daily life. It's no secret I like 1.7mm thick noodles.

A Warm Break on a Rainy Day #Udon
It's raining outside, and the house feels chilly, bringing a sense of gloom. On such days, warm udon is what you need to soothe both body and soul. Boil water in a pot, quickly cook the udon, and add a bit of ginger to the broth for perfection. By the time you sit at the table, the sound of rain becomes comforting. With each slurp of udon, warmth spreads through the heart and body. Whether the heart warms the body or vice versa, does it really matter?
