BEER-STEAMED MUSSELS

Steps:

• Clean mussels by scrubbing their shells with a brush while rinsing under cold running water. If necessary, use a paring knife to tug and cut out weedy "beards" coming out of the bottom of the shells. Pick through mussels and discard any with broken or open shells that won't close when you tap them. Heat a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add mussels, shallot, garlic and tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook for two minutes and then add beer and continue cooking and stirring until shells open, about another four minutes.
• Transfer mussels to serving bowls with a slotted spoon and continue to simmer liquid to reduce it slightly, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove pan from heat and swirl in butter. Stir in chervil or tarragon if using. Pour broth over mussels, sprinkle pretzel crumbs over each portion (if using) and serve immediately.

BI BIM BAP

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, liquid aminos, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, sriracha and fish sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl, add the beef, pork and cilantro and mix thoroughly. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• When the meat is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until completely cooked through. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• Preheat a grill to medium high with a grill basket set on the grate. Add the Marinated Kale and grill.
• Spoon the rice into 4 bowls, top with some Korean BBQ Sauce, then form "nests" on top with the cooked meat, cooked mushrooms and grilled kale. Add portions of Kimchi, Pickled Jalapeños and Pickled Onions, arranging them in neat little nests and contrasting colors. Fan the avocado over the center of the bowls, then place an egg on top, but slightly offset. Finish by drizzling Soy Aioli over the entire dish and sprinkle with scallions.
• Combine the olive oil, ginger, liquid aminos, lemon juice, sesame oil, white pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend until thoroughly combined. Toss the marinade with the kale in a large bowl. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate.
• Combine the sriracha, sugar, liquid aminos, vinegar, garlic, ginger, lime juice and sesame oil in blender and blend until smooth.
• Stir together the pureed peppers, garlic, ginger, green onions, pepper flakes, agave and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Toss together the Napa cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Work the pepper paste into the cabbage mixture with your hands. Transfer the kimchi to a 1-quart mason jar, cover and set aside at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.
• Place the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, ginger and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer the brine for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Place alternating layers of jalapeños and onions in a quart-size mason jar. Add the brine, cover with the lid, then process for 10 minutes in the boiling water. Remove the jar from the water, let cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 week before opening.

MANTI WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lamb and the parsley, and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps, until the lamb changes color. Remove from heat and generously season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• To make the pasta: Sift the 2 cups of flour and salt together into a bowl. Make a well in the center and place the egg and 1/2 cup water in the well. Work the dough with your hands or a wooden spoon into a smooth dough. (You might find that you will need more water if you are rolling the pasta by hand and less if you are using a hand-turned pasta machine.) Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a towel and let rest for 1 hour. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece to 1/16-inch thick with a rolling pin or a pasta machine, and cut into 3-inch squares, discarding the uneven edges. Place 1 to 2 teaspoons filling into the center of each square. Moisten the entire outer edge with water, bring the 4 corners together in the center and pinch tightly to seal, then pinch together the 4 straight edges to seal completely (take care with this step, sealing the dumplings thoroughly will ensure that they will not become unsealed in the water and lose the filling). Repeat with remaining pasta and filling. Place the manti on a lightly floured baking sheet in a single layer.
• To make the yogurt sauce: Drain the yogurt at room temperature through a very fine mesh strainer over a bowl for 30 minutes and discard the whey. Stir together the yogurt and garlic in a bowl and let stand at warm room temperature until ready to use.
• To make the butter sauce: In a small skillet over moderate heat cook the butter until it is a very light brown, remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the paprika, coarse salt to taste, and the hot red pepper sauce.
• In a large kettle of boiling salted water cook the manti, in batches, stirring to keep them from sticking together, about 7 minutes, or until the pressed together edges are al dente (they will the the longest to cook). Remove them when done with a long-handled sieve or a large slotted spoon and keep warm with a little of the warm cooking liquid. Serve the manti very hot in individual bowls, spoon some of the yogurt sauce, then drizzle some butter sauce and garnish with mint leaves. Pass the remaining yogurt sauce at the table.
• Drink: Cankaya Kavaklidere.
