I have recently become one and hoo baby are those little things yummy!
get yourself a good cookbook to read from—Japanese and Korean food sounds like it’d be exactly what you want with more diverse flavors

🔴The Woks of Life (also a website with plenty of online recipes) by Bill, Judy, Sarah, & Kaitlin Leung:
This is a book by a Chinese-American family that teaches you about traditional Chinese recipes and also American-Chinese takeout classics.
They include cute family anecdotes which is really cute.
🔴The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop:
I LOVE Sichuan food and these recipes have all turned out well for me. Fuchsia is a famous chef and although she is from the UK she studied culinary arts in China.
What I love about both books is that they’re definitely written for people who may not be from China, but are more likely to live in the US or UK. They explain what certain unfamiliar ingredients are and give you advice on how to find them or what to substitute for them if you can’t find them.

There is a whole series of these, but they’re graphic novel recipe books. I really love the visuals to see how to do something but they’re also the kind of cook book where it’s just SO informative even if you didn’t cook a single recipe you get an education just reading them. There’s one for dumplings and a bread one coming out in May.

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)
