The Flavors of a New Year: Korean Wrapped Beef!

The flavors of Korea are the flavors of life. Korean's have an incredible way of bringing the magic of taste and texture to every dish, as if proven with this classic Korean Wrapped Beef.

This is a very simple dish to prepare at home. If you can't find thinly cut lean beef packaged at your market, have the butcher cut it for you. You can cut time off the cooking, if you par-boil the asparagus and bok choy before rolling in the meat. To par-boil, simply boil the asparagus and bok choy for five minutes and then place in a bowl of ice water until you're ready to use it.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE KOREAN WRAPPED BEEF:
2 large thin slices of lean beef; 1 tsp. grated ginger; 1 tsp. brown sugar; 1 tsp. chili oil; 1 tsp. soy sauce; 1/4 pound asparagus; 2 baby bok choy; 1/4 cup cornstarch; 2 Tbs. vegetable oil.

Savory Szechuan: Szechuan Cabbage and Shrimp

Whether it be as a side dish or served over some steamed jasmine rice, Szechuan Cabbage and Shrimp is a rather healthy and delicious dish that can be prepared in a matter of minutes.

The best cabbage to use for this is Napa cabbage, also known as Asian cabbage. It does not have the strong cabbage taste you might be used to and since the leaves are much thinner, it will stir-fry very well and fast.

Since this is a Szechuan dish, it is a little spicy. If you're not a fan of spicy food, just leave out the red pepper flakes.
