This is the final recipe that Lee perfected. We tested it multiple times to get it as close as possible to the authentic siu mai flavour, but it was actually pretty challenging while keeping it high in protein. We found that imitation crab meat (surimi) […]
I made this dish inspired by 제육볶음 (Jeyuk-bokkeum), a classic Korean spicy pork stir-fry that’s both sweet and spicy at the same time. It’s one of the most popular dishes in Korea, especially among guys, for reasons I honestly don’t even know. I just remember […]
