My Rice Bowl

As co-owner and chef of the popular Seattle restaurants, Joule, Trove, and Revel, and Portland’s Revelry, chef Rachel Yang delights with her unique Korean fusion–think noodles, dumplings, pickles, pancakes, and barbecue. Along with her husband, Seif Chirchi, Yang serves food that exemplifies cross-cultural cooking at its most gratifying. In the cookbook you’ll find the restaurants’ kimchi recipe, of course, but there’s so much more–seaweed noodles with crab and crème fraîche, tahini-garlic grilled pork belly, fried cauliflower with miso bagna cauda, chipotle-spiked pad thai, Korean-taco pickles, and the ultimate Korean fried chicken (served with peanut brittle shards for extra crunch). There are rice bowls too–with everything from lamb curry to charred shiitake mushrooms–but this book goes way beyond bibimbap.
