My Secret to Simple & Tasty Steamed Crab
Refreshing steamed crab with bean sprouts

This is the steamed crab I made and ate tonight. Even though it's crab season, reasonably priced crabs were nowhere to be found at the market. 😞

However, I made it with frozen crabs instead. Being frozen, it couldn't quite match the taste of fresh, leg-packed crabs,

But it was still enough to eat a delicious meal.

Here's a really simple steamed crab recipe!

A. Ingredients

1 pack of frozen crab (16,000 won) Bean sprouts (2,300 won worth) Onions, green onions, water parsley in small amounts 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper each Sesame seeds, minced ginger, minced garlic, green onions Soy sauce, red pepper powder Sesame oil, cooking oil

B. Recipe

  1. Steaming bean sprouts Put oil in a pot and add bean sprouts, onions, minced garlic and ginger, green onions, red pepper powder, and crab. Cover and steam.

(Do not season the bean sprouts before cooking. Why? Because seasoning them beforehand will cause them to become pickled. The bean sprouts will lose their moisture and become thin and tough. Season them after they are cooked!)

  1. Mix The bean sprouts will smell cooked and the crabs will turn red as they cook. If you wait a little while, the crabs will start to cook and give off a delicious smell.

Open the lid, add about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, black pepper, and green onions (about 3-4 cm long), and mix while turning on the heat.

You can add more red pepper powder if necessary.

  1. Finally, Add sesame oil, mix, place in a bowl, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add sesame oil at the very end so that the flavor doesn't disappear, and don't add too much.


"I hope you all have a happy time enjoying a delicious dinner!"

Reading The Essential Questions We Must Ask About the OpenAI Incident

Reading The Essential Questions We Must Ask About the OpenAI Incident At a book café today, I stumbled upon a slim volume titled The Essential Questions We Must Ask About the OpenAI Incident . At first glance, I thought it might be another trendy guide to ChatGPT prompts. But as I flipped through the pages, I quickly realized—it was something entirely different. This book didn’t offer shortcuts or tricks. Instead, it opened a window into values, philosophy, and a brief yet sharp reflection on the history of AI. 1. What happened at OpenAI? In November 2023, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman was suddenly fired. The board cited a vague “loss of trust” but didn’t provide further explanation. What followed was dramatic: Within just five days, Altman was reinstated—after 700 of 770 employees threatened to quit in support of him. What seemed at first like a typical executive shake-up revealed a deep rift in how people view the future of AI. It reminded me of a short-lived moment in Korean ...

From Garden Pavilions to Touchscreens: The Surprising History of Kiosks

Image
  The History and Origin of Kiosks Many aspects of our lives changed—sometimes without us even realizing—during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most significant shifts was the rise of contactless services. Kiosks in Our Daily Lives To reduce face-to-face interaction, many restaurants and cafes introduced machines that allowed customers to place their orders without speaking to a staff member. Some placed tablets at tables, while others installed kiosks near entrances or at one side of the store. These kiosks didn’t just help prevent the spread of airborne illness. They also made tasks like staff management, cash handling, payments, and even accounting much easier. Today’s kiosks are widely used to provide information or services without human assistance. In fact, even before the pandemic, kiosks had already been quietly integrated into our lives—the pandemic only accelerated their spread. Let’s look at some examples. Fast food chains like McDonald’s and many other restaurants and...
