Method

Chicken Bulgogi

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Dumplings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix ground pork or chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Fill the Dumplings

    Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.

  3. 5

    Cook the Dumplings

    Boil a pot of water and gently drop in the dumplings. Boil for about 5-7 minutes or until they float. Alternatively, you can steam them for about 10 minutes.

Noodles

  1. 6

    Cook the Noodles

    Cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Stir-Fry the Noodles

    In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced vegetables; sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked rice noodles and soy sauce, stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until well mixed.

California Rolls

  1. 8

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it with 1.25 cups of water. Once cooked, let it cool and mix in rice vinegar and sugar.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Lay down cucumber, avocado, and crab sticks in the center. Roll tightly and slice into pieces.

Rice

  1. 10

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
