I’ve had my fair share of satisfying Korean stews. This Pork and Kimchi Stew ($25) was no exception, for it wasn’t too light or overly sweet. Sitting in a crowded restaurant abuzz with chatter (mostly in Korean!) and tucking into a spicy, boiling hot stew packed with pork, tofu and vegetables wasn’t a bad way to spend my Saturday night.

You can use Burpple Beyond for BBQ meats, bulgogi, sharing-portion stews, pancakes and some ala-carte items. Unless you prefer chewy Korean pancakes with a higher ratio of batter to ingredients, I wouldn’t recommend them. I like mine crispy-edged and a little more charred.
