Summer Rolls

This recipe is extremely versatile, so feel free to use any fresh, colorful summer veggies and herbs you happen to have on hand. If tofu isn’t your thing, feel free to sub in your favorite cooked protein. If you don’t plan to serve the rolls right away, try rolling them in plastic wrap until you’re ready to eat. This will prevent the rolls from becoming soggy or sticking together. Other key tips are to avoid over-moistening the wrappers and avoid over-filling. Your first few are bound to be a bit clunky, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly.

Bibimbap

Likely one of the most well-known and beloved Korean dishes, Bibimbap is the ultimate comfort food.

Feel free to get creative with the toppings – this dish is a perfect catch-all for leftover veggies you have in the fridge.
