Hi Risa,
Hope all is well with you and yours !
I took particular note of this recipe for two reasons:
o I've taken to often using fresh serranos in recipes
(wouldn't touch a jalapeņo any more)
o I have a fondness for bulgogi. I was in Seoul a few years ago,
and the hotel had a breakfast buffet included. On it were both
bulgogi and kimchee, along with some green tea - Yum!
However, it didn't have either toasted sesame or Asparagus
