I had some Beyond Beef and an apple, and it got me thinking that I could try making Beyond Bulgogi. I’m not going to try to tell you that Beyond Bulgogi is the same as the traditional Korean marinated beef that I adore, but it is pretty tasty in its own right. And the other…

Garlic Noodles
Years ago a friend took me to a Southeast Asian restaurant that had the most incredible garlic noodles I have ever eaten. When these garlic noodles were brought to our table, they looked like the plainest bowl of noodles you could imagine, but then I had a bite and was treated to such tantalizingly garlicky…
Fish in Black Bean Sauce
Fish in Black Bean Sauce is a common dish in Chinese restaurants, but it’s actually pretty easy to make at home! The black bean and garlic sauce is what makes this dish, and it works with a variety of different kinds of fish. Guessipe Toss the fish in 1 TBSP corn starch and set aside….
Banchan – Danmuji Muchim
I made Korean food for a dinner party, and tried a couple new banchan which were really successful. Danmuji is yellow pickled radish – I buy it at the Asian market and usually just slice it up and serve it as-is. But this time I decided to season it, making Danmuji Muchim. Turns out I…
Build Your Own Bowl
These “Build Your Own Bowl” restaurants have been popping up all over the place. We have an Asian-themed one near our local movie theater which we would occasionally patronize after seeing a movie… that is, until I decided it would be easy enough to re-create my favorite sauce flavors and build my own bowl at…
Banchan – Sesame Broccoli
Let’s do another Banchan, because with Banchan the more the merrier! Part of the fun of Korean food is the collection of little side dishes that make for a beautiful spread on the table. In case you haven’t already noticed, the crunch of Banchan is a big draw for me and a large part of…
Banchan – Korean Bean Sprouts
Another Banchan that I really like is these Korean Bean Sprouts. Bean Sprouts are so inexpensive and they have such a nice pop when you bite into them, which I feel somehow gets enhanced when you cook them. Bean sprouts are an underutilized vegetable in my opinion. This is one great way to use them….
Banchan – Sesame Bok Choy
Continuing my Banchan series… this dish is more commonly made with spinach (which is good too), but I like the extra crunch of Sesame Bok Choy. The combination of sesame oil and sesame seeds really brings out the sesame flavor I love. Guessipe 8 baby boy choy, separated into individual leaves marinade 3 green onions,…
Lettuce Wraps
I find myself drawn to lettuce wraps when I see them on a restaurant menu. But they’re also pretty easy to make at home, and people are so excited when I serve lettuce wraps. You can pre-assemble them, or just put out all the elements and let people build their own. Interactive dishes are always…
Veggie Bowl with Apple Carrot Dressing
In the last couple years, it seems like “Assemble Your Own Bowl” places have popped up everywhere. It got me thinking that I could buy my own favorite ingredients, whip up a tasty sauce/dressing, and for the price of one restaurant bowl have a large enough quantity to share with friends. My friends immediately declared…
Asian Slaw
This is a super easy slaw with an Asian slant that I like to whip together especially during the summer. Works great as a sandwich topping, or a side salad. Guessipe 1 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced salt and pepper to taste DRESSING 3 TBSP miso 3 TBSP honey 1 TBSP Dijon mustard 5 TBSP…
