Working from home, Hong Nhung (31 years old, Hanoi) has a lot of time to cook. However, for her, cooking is not a responsibility but a very personal hobby. 9X confided, if not too busy, I will cook both meals for the family. Previously, Ms. Nhung only cooked lunch to take to the office for herself. Many people are afraid to cook take-out lunches because they are still busy sleeping in the morning and bring ready-made food from the night before, but she does not like to eat duplicated food, so she takes the initiative to get up earlier to prepare.
Ms. Hong Nhung loves to cook
Not only does she like to cook, she especially wants to make rice for her family and friends to enjoy. “I also like to try new dishes that I have the opportunity to eat out or watch online. My family is easy to eat so European, Korean, Japanese, Indian dishes can all be eaten. My opinion is to eat. is joy, so being able to cook delicious dishes yourself is creating joy for yourself.” Nhung said.
To be able to cook many delicious dishes like now, Hong Nhung is self-taught. Most of the recipes I researched on the internet and then followed. Sometimes when I eat out, when I see something delicious, I will guess how to prepare it and then experiment, gradually creating a recipe that suits the taste of myself and my family.
Before working in the office, she often cooks lunch for herself to take to work, and the main meal will be cooked for her family of 5, 4 adults and 1 child to enjoy. Usually, each such meal takes only 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the complexity of the dishes. Sometimes, it can take her up to an hour and a half or two hours if it is a new dish and requires a lot of steps like bun mam in the West, for example.
Although she cooks, her father is the main marketer in the house, and the price of meals is almost fully understood. “I’m not a marketer, but often when I cook for my family, I often ask my father about the price, the average meal is about 120-150 thousand VND for the whole family, some meals only cost about 100 thousand. if simple”she says.
And when you have to go to the market, you will also try to calculate that there will be enough food in the water and one dish on land with lots of vegetables to get enough nutrients (such as fish, meat, vegetables) and balance your finances. to suit family conditions. “If it’s good for lunch, then a simple dinner of selling sour minced meat vermicelli with raw vegetables is already a good meal. 90% of the food I buy is fresh and bought the day before or the day before, I rarely eat processed food if it’s not Western food.” 9X happy to share.
In order for the meal to suit the family’s taste, Ms. Nhung always pays attention to everyone’s taste. Her family is limiting dishes that use a lot of fat and reducing salt and sugar for good health, so the meals she cooks always adhere to this. At first, the dish will not be as rich as before, but gradually the whole family will get used to it. Her family mainly eats vegetables, so she always prioritizes cooking vegetables first. Fortunately, everyone in the 9X family is easy to eat and not too different in taste, so cooking meals for Nhung’s family is not a problem.
Because she has a habit of not wanting to eat old dishes again, Nhung always tries to make a difference, even though there are so many ingredients. For example, minced meat in the morning can be mixed with dried onions and steamed pepper seasoning, and in the afternoon, it can be rolled with guise leaves. Just a little variation and adding another taste will create a different feeling, so it will be less boring and more delicious.
For some time, 9X also created its own menu for 1 month to cook according to the eat clean mode. “I think if I live alone, I will make a menu for a whole month in advance to buy and arrange things like that, saving time and money, and not having to worry about what to eat today.” sister shared.
Thanks to her talent and good cooking, Ms. Nhung was awarded the title of assistant chef in the house by her family. And the chef is her father. Most of the dishes she cooks are praised by everyone, only freshly cooked dishes, the taste may not be ready, will not be praised much. Her friends often joke, if she lived with her, she would be happy because she was always taken care of. Nhung said that she also loves to eat, but is more passionate about cooking at home, which is both delicious, nutritious, cheap and extremely comfortable.
