Warm Up with Spicy Seafood Jjigae, Hearty Korean-style Seafood Stew

  Think of this savory stew as a sort of spicy Korean bouillabaisse. It’s based on the kind of traditional, home-style soup that’s a staple in Korean households.

Southeast Asian Spring Rolls

This “fresh” spring roll is a classic in both Vietnamese and Thai cuisines. Unlike other spring rolls, this light & lively version is not fried, but is wrapped in a thin, translucent sheet of rice paper.

Our version is made with leftover grilled chicken and poached shrimp, but you can use virtually anything you want, including tofu or grilled veggies. Spring rolls are typically served with a sweet-savory-spicy dipping …
