Dinner for the past eight weeks has typically been a few homemade low sodium stir-fry dishes plus some rice. Depending on the dishes, sometimes I have problems tasting and swallowing food. During those nights, I usually have to resort to a carton of Nepro protein drink.
For dinner tonight, my parents and I had Korean BBQ at Mo Rang Gak in Garden Grove. This is our favorite KBBQ restaurant yet the last time we ate there was about four years ago. Unlike most KBBQ places, Mo Rang Gak is not AYCE (All You Can Eat). However, we have always walked out full. This time, we ordered only a two person combo plus a stone pot rice bowl.
As for healthiness, I think the two areas of concern are sodium and fat. Some of the 반찬 or side dishes are quite salty, and the marinated short rib can be salty and fatty. I didn’t eat that many side dishes since most were spicy, but did eat a lot of the marinated meat. After weeks of home cooking, wow that was good. I get to meet a cardiac nutritionist next week so not sure when I can eat KBBQ again.
