D-I-Y Gift Idea
1. Handmade Dosirak – Old School Lunch Box (Korean Style)
Here’s your chance to show off your fancy culinary skills (or lack thereof)! Lunch boxes are not only filled with your effort and sincerity, but they also satisfy your partner’s tummy. As the saying goes, the path to your partner’s heart is through his or her stomach.
This old school Korean lunch box mainly consists of rice, kimchi, sausages, egg and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, made easy to consume. All you have to do is close the lunch box and shake it up for an evenly mixed delicious meal.
