Simply Lunch

Unlike a lot of Korean-American families, we never, ever, ever, ever ate this growing up.  Our father wouldn't allow it.  But now as an adult, when the fridge is empty, I go to this simple meal.  And I don't mind it.  In fact, I kind of like it.

Listen.  Leftover brown rice, a hot fried egg on top, and more than a generous squidge of ketchup: I know this probably doesn't speak to your gastronomical sensibilities.  It might even look rather ick.  But if you grew up in a Korean-American home, chances are, you're at peace with this.

Lunch.  NYC.
1:06 pm.  Today.
