With Abe’s folks in town, we wound up having a last-minute dinner at Amy’s.

Still kinda shocked at how good this was…I polished off two plates – everything that white sauce touches is magic!

At the Korean grocery we LOVE to grab fermented veggies from the salad bar (everything smothered in red pepper paste-yes!), a handful of mandu, or the steamed dumplings, and a little kimchi-jiggae or korean kimchi and beef stew. This happens at least once a week, but I’d LOVE to trade it out for some of those yummies you have above!!
