Midnight Cheat Day — Japanese Salaryman’s Late night Feast $0 4 Dinner

Midnight cheat day — a Japanese salaryman's ¥60 ($0.40 / €0.37) dinner after a long shift. Stir-fried pork, kimchi, nuts, and way too much rice. Got home past midnight again. Threw together whatever was left in the fridge — pork and cabbage stir-fry with kimchi and a handful of cashews and peanuts. Paired it with an unreasonable amount of Japanese white rice. The kind of meal that costs almost nothing but somehow hits harder than anything at a restaurant. Total damage: about ¥60 ($0.40 / €0.37). ⏱ Timestamps 0:00 Tonight's ¥60 ($0.40 / €0.37) dinner 0:20 Let's eat 0:42 No recipe needed 1:08 "Is this even healthy?" ...right? 1:13 Coworkers go to izakayas.
