A Simple “Use What You Have” Dinner
Tonight was a simple “use what’s in the fridge” kind of meal and honestly, those are often the best.
I had leftover seaweed soup gently boiling on the stove. On one pan, I sautéed olive oil and minced garlic, then added plain po***ck fish cake (cut into large bite-sized chunks). Once nicely browned on both sides, I poured in two eggs (lightly mixed with chopsticks), added a touch of Japanese soup base for flavor, and finished with fresh green onion. So simple, so comforting.
On the other pan, Napa cabbage.
Washed, cut into 2–3 inch pieces, then lightly pan-fried with olive oil, garlic, and garlic sea salt. At the end, just a small spoonful of miso sauce for depth. The cabbage becomes juicy, slightly sweet, and pairs beautifully with the savory miso.
This is lifestyle medicine in real life:
✔️ Whole ingredients
✔️ Balanced protein + vegetables
✔️ Healthy fats (olive oil)
✔️ Quick enough for a busy clinic day
No fish cake? Just use eggs.
No Napa cabbage? Use whatever vegetable you have. Healthy cooking is flexible — not fancy.
Home cooking is one of the most powerful health tools we have.
