Kimchi Jeon (Savory Kimchi Pancakes)
Yields: 4 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup well-fermented kimchi, roughly chopped
1/4 cup kimchi juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup potato or corn starch
1/2 cup cold water
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3-4 scallions, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil or neutral-flavored cooking oil
Optional additions:
1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) for extra spice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Other vegetables: thin strips of carrot, onion slices
Dipping sauce ingredients:
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
A pinch of sugar
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, potato/corn starch, kimchi, kimchi juice, egg, water, and scallions. (Include any optional ingredients you'd like). Mix until a slightly thick batter forms.
Heat the pan: Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the hot pan, spreading it into a thin, even circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Add sesame seeds if desired.
Serve: Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
Tips:
Well-fermented kimchi: Using older, well-fermented kimchi provides the best flavor and acidity.
Consistency check: The batter should be the consistency of a slightly thick pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water. If it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook one or two pancakes at a time to achieve the best crispiness and an even cook.
Experiment: Feel free to add seafood, thinly sliced pork, or other vegetables to your pancakes.

220cal Fruit (ice)cream bars
(i made two portions ,16 pieces in total, the calories are for 8 pieces, about 30 per piece)
okay first of all…sorry that i was gone so long! depressions got a bit worse and i also found some new hobbies that took a lot of my attention but i try to post every once in a while:)
and nowwww these kinda icecream bars are actually soo good for the summer i absolutely love them!
you need:
-60g of fruit (doesn’t really matter which one, couls change the texture tho)
-2tbsp of yogurt (i used skyr) |22cals|
-2tsp coconut oil |90cals|
-1tbsp cream cheese |90cals|
how to:
just combine everything in a blender,blend until snooth and then just freeze for about three hours:)
i made mine with strawberries and blueberries and i must say that the blueberries made the whole thing a bit more „icy“ becaue they had more juice!
i let them freeze overnight but 3hours should be fine as well:) i also think a chocolate kind would be tasty.
cals might be a bit off because i forgot to weight correctly but ut shouldn’t be too much! maybe 10cals +/-

As someone with OCD I've always had this hc that Leon isn't as clean or organised as you would expect when it comes to himself.
Like he focuses way too much on getting his tasks done that his brain simply doesn't seem to compute that he needs to shower, eat or drink water and he simply cannot do any of those things until he's done with whatever he's trying to get done, along with him being very organised with everything BUT himself or his own space.
I can see him being very tidy about everything but his room, he's rarely there and to him the mess makes complete sense even though that to most people it looks like well.. a mess, in his mess he knows exactly where everything is.
Freddy probably calls him out a lot about this because Leon sometimes straight up doesn't shower because he spent all morning trying to fix something unrelated to him.
