Method

Pork Bulgogi

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions. Add the sliced pork and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Dumplings

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Dumplings

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal tightly.

  3. 5

    Cook the Dumplings

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove and drain.

    Follow the package instructions to cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions with water. Once cooked, mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while still warm.

  2. 9

    Assemble the California Roll

    On a bamboo mat, lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border. Place cucumber, avocado, and crab meat in the center. Roll tightly, pressing as you go. Slice into pieces.

Rice

    Cook the White Rice
