How to use this guide

Begin the long rib braise first, then prepare japchae vegetables. Cook rice cakes near serving. For a first attempt, one main plus a vegetable side is a simpler plan than all three.

What changes and what to check

Scale using each recipe’s servings and consider soy sauce and sugar across the whole meal. Check every ingredient separately for alcohol or allergy requirements.
