4
morning's gloomy breakfast, I have some yellow dragon fruit,
5
and then of course I've got my little ramekin of nonfat Greek yogurt topped with goji berries and cacao nibs.
6
Mmm, there's really no fruit that's like this.
7
It's extremely sweet, it's very soft and malleable.
8
Like, if you just put pressure around it, it just turns into this delicious sweet pulp.
9
Mmm.
10
For lunch, I'm actually trying a brand new recipe.
11
This is an egg cabbage sandwich.
12
I feel like it sounds not very appealing, but when you look at it, you're like, damn, it looks pretty good.
13
I saw a Korean YouTuber make this for lunch, and I was very, very intrigued.
14
So let's give it a bite.
15
I do not taste the cabbage at all.
16
It just tastes like an egg cheese sandwich. So good.
17

next video for dinner
21
I made my signature dish, this is a spicy braised chicken with potatoes and I just added some bok choy for some veg And of course,
22
I've got my mound of brown rice.
23
Ooh, topped with some green onions, of course.
24
All right, let's dig in.
25
I'm freaking hungry.
26
This looks amazing.
27
Mm.
28
The chicken just falls off the bone.
29
Potatoes are soft.
30
Everything's slightly spicy, but definitely manageable.
31
Mm.
32
Good morning.
33
For breakfast, I'm having a strawberry blueberry yogurt parfait.
34
And then with the remaining berries, I just threw them in a bowl.
35
Mmm!
36
I'm not gonna lie, I had a vision for my fish cake soup.
37
I wanted the fish cakes on skewers and make it look all cute, but as you just saw, it was a complete fail.
38
I just added some kimchi mandu on the side, topped with little bits of sriracha, just for some extra food, you know?
39
Mmm.
40
The fish cakes make the broth a little bit sweet, but it's also very savory.
41
It's a really great quick dish.
42
All right, let's try a dumpling.
43
I just steamed them.
44
They're so good.
45
They've got kimchi inside.
46
Delicious.
47
I realized that I made enough food for a small country
48
and I am the only person in this household
49
that can eat this dish so I don't know how long it's going to take me to finish these leftovers.
50
For breakfast, I thought I would keep it quite minimal and create a fruit salad.
51
I used the final yellow dragon fruit and then I topped it off with some strawberries and blueberries.
52
It's so sweet.
53
For lunch, I made both of us a vegetarian bibimbap, and of course, I topped it off with an egg.
54
I used Ben's dish because his egg came out better than mine. So.
55
You gave me the prettier dish?
56
Yeah.
57
Wow.
58
See that?
59
That's love, guys.
60
It is love.
61
This looks amazing.
62
It looks healthy, delicious.
63
And yet, it's been ages since we had a bibimbap.
64
Yeah, it's been very long.
65
Oh, it's so good.
66
Mm-hmm.
67
Oh, I've missed this.
68
It's good.
69
It tastes just like the restaurant without the sizzling, crackling rice.
70
That's very generous for you to say.
71
Thank you. Being brave.
72
Mm-hmm.
73
For dinner, the dacbocgum tang saga continues.
74
I try to spice it up by adding some cabbage because I realized that wasn't getting that much love.
75
I also realized that my sesame leaves were starting to get wilty, which is bizarre.
76
It's only been like two days.
77
So I realized I need to eat it.
78
Mmm.
79
Mm-hmm.
80
This one has a little bit of chicken.
81
Mmm.
82
Mmm.
83
Mmm.
84
Mmm.
85
Mmm!
86
For breakfast, I have a Korean omelette known as a 계란 말이.
87
It's got green onions, zucchini, and carrot, and then two eggs.
88
I also put a squiggle of sriracha because I like things spicy.
89
Mmm.
90
Mmm.
91
For lunch, I made myself some bibimmyon.
92
Now this is supposed to be like a spicy cold noodle, but I didn't make my noodles cold, so they're kind of warm.
93
I don't care.
94
I used my new bibimmyon sauce, and on top I sliced some cucumbers, I fried some kimchi and then I used the rest of the egg omelet that I made earlier this morning.
95
Oh, I also drizzled some sesame oil and some sesame seeds.
96
I'm just going to mix this all in now.
97
I'm like terrified of getting my white hoodie red.
98
Mmm.
99
These noodles are slightly spicy, a little sweet, and very nutty because of the sesame oil.
100
Oh, it's such a good lunch food.
101
At last, the Dak Bokum Tang trilogy comes to an end.
102
This is the final leftovers of it.
103
And I decided to remix it by making a fried rice.
104
I just added some cabbage, some brown rice.
105
I got the chicken and I chopped it into little pieces.
106
I cut the potatoes into smaller bits as well.
107
I'm definitely a volume eater, so I love how the cabbage just stretches out the dish and makes it huge.
108
Mm.
109
Mmm.
110
Good morning for breakfast.
111
I used up the last of the strawberries
112
and then I just have my usual nonfat Greek yogurt
113
and I sprinkled some granola and drizzled with honey because these strawberries aren't the sweetest.
114
Hmm.
115
For lunch, I just wanted to use up all the final vegetables in my fridge, so I made a veggie and then for my side dish I made which is steamed tofu.
116
It's just topped with cucumbers and this soy sauce green onion mixture on top.
117
I wanted to make this for dinner
118
but I figured I might as well just knock it out right now and then save the other half for dinner.
119
If I really think about it, my lunch is pretty abnormal to traditional Koreans because I'm essentially eating two big side dishes, like two banchan.
120
Like this would not be considered an entree if you went to Korea.
121
Like this would be a side and this would be a side.
122
I'm just lazy and I just made bigger portions and I'm just going to eat this as an entree.
123
For our final dinner together, I have prepared a seaweed soup.
124
This is called miyokguk.
125
This is actually my very first time making it and I suspect the second time I make it, it'll be better.
126
I heated up some brown rice.
127
I've got my steamed tofu from lunch, kimchi, and then I've got some kimchi dumplings because, you know, I just wanted to have a lot of side dishes.
128
Mm, you always have milkgook on your birthday because after the mom gives birth,
129
they'll have milkgook because it's filled with iron and it's supposed to be good for healing the bod.
130
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
