I need to eat more greens. When I lived in the states I ate spinach every day and felt amazing! I recently found a bunch of spinach in South Korea and would love some recipe ideas. I don't have a juicer so I can't make green juice (but a juicer will be my next purchase for sure).
I have a blender and a dehydrator. I can't find fancy ingredients like nutritional yeast and cashews. I did find cashews a few weeks ago and bought 2 cups for $16. The last of them are soaking right now to make some lemon cookies. I should of bought more cashews since it was the first time I found them in 5 months.
I do love spinach/mango smoothies and when I find great mangoes that's the first thing I make with them.
So I'm looking for simple, delicious spinach recipes, that aren't salads. The spinach here tastes different than it does in the states and I'm still getting used to the new flavor.
Thanks!

Oh my goodness! The Chuseok Gift Boxes are incredibly bizarre, BUT I have to wonder if those apples are better than the non-boxed apples! They certainly look delicious.
I just found frozen strawberries and blueberries so I bought as many packages as I could fit into my freezer. It was the first time I saw those and I've noticed once items like that are gone, they are gone forever. So tomorrow I'll definitely try a banana, strawberry, spinach smoothie. That actually sounds really good.
I went to Shinsagae Department Store on Saturday and found BASIL!!!! I was sooooo happy! I bought 8 containers and tonight I'm going to make pesto. I also saw these beautiful purple fruits that I had never seen before, I tried asking what they were but all I could get was 'special fruit from Jeju Island'. So I bought one, they were $15 each. When I got home, I googled 'special fruit from Jeju Island' and found out that it was a dragonfruit. It was sooooooo delicious.
Oh! I also found flax seeds and flax seed oil from that grocery store. I wished I would have found coconut oil!
The more I look for certain items, the easier it is to find them.
I'm going to Dondaemun on Thursday night. I'm on vacation this week, so my friends and I are going to check it out and then we're going to the fish market at 3am for the auction and I'm going to try live octopus. I am mostly raw and most days I'm 100% raw, but occasionally I find myself eating Korean food. I do know the Korean food I order is gluten free, dairy free and soy free, and always pepper free (black and chili). I guess I might have to bring my backpack and buy nuts. Do you know if the nuts are raw? I sometimes see nuts in the grocery store but the package says they are roasted, so I never buy them. Only once did I find a lady set up, selling a million different kinds of dried foods. I tried the nuts and they didn't seem roasted and they weren't salted, so I bought them.
I have not been to Anyang, but I've heard of it! When are you moving there?
