Join chef Susan Kim as she makes gyeran mari, a Korean rolled-egg omelet. Susan sells Korean to-go lunch boxes filled with beautifully prepared vegetables and various banchan, or small side dishes, through her NYC-based pop-up Eat Doshi. We were so enamored of these beautiful doshirak that we asked Kim to teach us how to recreate a home-cooked version that includes these savory rolled-egg omelet slices filled with toasted seaweed snacks and a secret ingredient: Parm shavings. They’re equally good enjoyed on their own as a little snack, as a side dish to a larger meal, or sliced and served with a bowl of rice. Kim uses sheets of toasted seaweed snacks from brands like Seasnax or gimMe, which come pre-seasoned with sesame oil and salt.

Join Chris Morocco as he makes baked lunch nachos. Chris relies on some version of these lunch nachos at least once a week as he brainstorms what to feed his two young kids. It’s worth it to commit the formula to memory: a bag of chips, a can of refried beans, maybe some leftover meat or roasted veg from the night before, shredded cheese, and some kind of quickly cooked, spiced veg like cauliflower or brussels sprouts. It’s a lightning-fast lunch (or dinner) that can be tweaked to suit anyone’s preferences.
