I think it's been a while since I've pointed out how amazing Korean food is. This is a photo of lunch for one person, rice and soybean stew are the main meal which is mixed with the bowl of fresh vegetables. The little plates are different sides of pickled vegetable and condiments. Lucky for me the city I live in is surrounded by farmland and the produce is good! I've been living on watermelon all summer, actually I've moved onto nectarines now...
This is the lunch we ordered for delivery at school, one of my favorites, a hot stone pot full of rice with vegetables. The amazing thing is that a man on a moped delivers all this food and then comes back an hour later to pick up the dishes. The only waste is wooden chopsticks and some paper and plastic wrap. I like the minimal use of packaging in this delivery, but unfortunately it's also popular to have ice cream delivered and that is packaged in a one time use styrofoam cooler. (Packaging and wasteful over packaging is a big issue here, combined with carefree littering it can get really ugly on the streets.)
