The Best Late-Night Korean At-Home Meal Ever

I came home late and opened the fridge, no expectations whatsoever, and discovered treasure therein.  MIL had prepared and brought over beef & egg jangjorim and oiji muchim.  In exercise of my rights as a son-in-law, I’ve often made snide asides at the expense of her cooking.  But not tonight.  Both dishes were awesome, especially in combo.  As evident from the photos, I didn’t even bother to sit down and ate everything standing at the counter.  I probably used utensils, though I seem to remember licking my fingers at one point.

While lacking a soup/stew to be considered a true “Korean at-home meal,” I drowned the rice in the jangjorim braising liquid as a kind of broth, so there.
