Recipe by: @Maxine Sharf 👏🏻 I make these rice paper dumplings weekly. Sometimes I add mushrooms or carrots if I have them on hand. #asianfood #asiancooking #dumplings #ricepaper #ricepaperdumpling #EasyRecipe
As difficult as a time as it was to wait in between letters from my 아빠, the space in between was a gift. I am grateful that now I can speak to my family on my own terms directly but there is no space in between often daily heartbreaking revelations. I am trying to take it one day at a time. One heartache at a time. #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #korean #adoptionstory #koreanfood #koreancooking #asianfood #asiancooking #tangsuyuk
I could have never imagined being in this space last year. Even six months ago. #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #korean #adoptionstory #koreanfood #koreancooking #asianfood #asiancooking
Even though I felt like I could barely enjoy my time in Korea with my family, knowing that I had those pending results hanging over my head… the peace of mind that it has brought me is priceless. #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptionstory #adopteevoices #korean #asianfood #asiancooking #ricepaper #🥭
@maangchi ‘s vegetarian kimchi remains one of my favorite recipes. I usually make a double batch. I think it tastes best after two days at room temp then two weeks in the fridge. #koreanfood #koreancooking #kimchi #maangchi #asianfood #asiancooking #koreanhomecooking #kimchirecipe #김치
Hey so I can’t take this anymore! My brain and heart are literally incapable of taking in anything else. Wtf is even happening #koreanadoptee #adoptionjourney #birthfamilyreunion
Maybe it’s the jet lag but the last two weeks were a fever dream. I keep having to go back into my phone and pull up photos to prove to myself that this was not just a figment of my imagination. #koreanadoptee #adoptionjourney #birthfamilyreunion
It is also really resonating with me that my father is also being protective of my brothers in this moment too. If I make it through today without having a nervous breakdown on the street, it will be a miracle. #koreanadoptee #adoptionjourney #birthfamilyreunion
Hi, please remember a lot of the info I’m getting is less than a week old. My emotions are raw and right on the surface. Who knows what will happen but this is what I feel like in this moment. #koreanadoptee #adoptionjourney #birthfamilyreunion
It is ironic that after so many years of searching for her, now my base instinct is to flee because it feels like too much. #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #korean #koreancooking #koreanfood #asianfood #asiancooking #hwachae
It’s been so long that typically my mother’s birthday doesn’t upset me. This year — it’s hit me like a ton of bricks. How deeply I wish I could call her and ask her advice. To tell her every single thing that happened on my trip. #koreanadoptee #adopteevoices #birthfamilyreunion #adoptionjourney #adoptionstory #grief
I will love you forever, 쇠고기 미역국 🥣 #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptionstory #adopteevoices #koreanfood #koreancooking #koreanbirthdaysoup #miyeokguk #미역국
