Description 1. It's affordable! These days, a cup of coffee costs 5,000 won, and you can't even order a whole fried chicken for 10,000 won. But the secret behind this book is shopping for a week's worth of groceries and making five side dishes—all with just 10,000 won. As long as you have a single 10,000 won bill in your wallet, your whole week is covered. 2. It's easy! With ingredients you can find anywhere and the basic seasonings you already have at home, even beginner cooks can whip up tasty side dishes in under 30 minutes. 3. Nothing goes to waste! The rule is simple: use up everything you buy within the week. No more leftover ingredients going back into the fridge to be forgotten. In an era when 10,000 won can barely buy you a single lunch, there's a YouTuber who manages to make five side dishes from just one 10,000 won bill?! Meet Yolo Ria, the YouTuber famous for her video series "Making a Week's Worth of Side Dishes with 10,000 Won." As part of a dual-income couple, the author often came home from work to find nothing worth eating in the fridge. Determined to change that, she decided to start preparing a full week's side dishes in advance—and began keeping a "weekly side dish notebook." Setting a weekly grocery budget and planning a variety of colorful side dishes to prepare ahead of time over the weekend became the foundation for what would eventually become this book, "Making a Week's Worth of Side Dishes with 10,000 Won." The author originally created her video series to share simple, budget-friendly ways for people living alone and cooking beginners to make delicious, filling side dishes. The videos struck a chord with viewers, and she now helps plan the weekly meals of over 280,000 subscribers. This book features 80 of the most popular recipes from her YouTube channel, organized by season. From Spring Week 1 to Winter Week 4, each recipe shows you how to shop for a week's worth of five hearty side dishes on just 10,000 won, using seasonal and everyday ingredients. Detailed photos and step-by-step instructions walk you through every recipe, along with Yolo Ria's own cooking tips to make each dish easier and more delicious. The book also includes a special section of 16 recipes requested by her YouTube subscribers—rice dishes, soups and stews, and one-pot meals that can each be made for just 10,000 won. At the front of the book, you'll find handy guides to essential seasonings, kitchen tools, ingredient prep techniques, and measurement basics—everything you need at a glance. With this single book, even a beginner cook can put together a hearty, satisfying spread for the whole week on just 10,000 won. 〈Messages of Support from Yolo Ria's Subscribers〉 ◆ "I'm in my third year of living alone.

But after watching Yolo Ria's side dish videos, I felt inspired and made a whole variety of dishes today. Eating them even brought back memories of my mom's home cooking." — Ha* ◆ "I subscribed because of the '10,000 Won' series.
