KOREAN MEATS TO GRILL

5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 4 In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine oat milk and cashews. Add thyme and nutritional yeast and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat. 5 In a blender, add oat milk, cashews and squash and blend on high until smooth béchamel sauce is made. If needed, add a little more oat milk, 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time, until desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. 6 In a 10 x 8-in (2 L) casserole dish, place a large spoonful of squash béchamel and spread it evenly to cover bottom of dish. Place 3 lasagna sheets across bottom of pan. If they don’t fit perfectly, just break extra ends off to fit. Spread roughly ⅓ of mushroom mixture evenly over noodles. Place 3 more lasagna sheets over top. Layer with ⅓ squash mixture. Continue pattern, alternating squash and mushroom mixture between lasagna sheets until ingredients are used up. This works best if the squash béchamel is the final layer. 7 Sprinkle top with plant-based Parmesan. Bake for 45 minutes or until lasagna sheets are fork-tender. 8 Garnish with basil and serve.

It consists of lots of small side dishes and all the items are laid out on the table with a portable grill in the middle. Various kimchis are also served. If you’re lucky enough to have a Korean grocery store in your city, you may be able to purchase many of the side dishes pre-made. You can also find pre-made short rib and chicken marinades in bottles, if you prefer. The meats are grilled throughout the meal and scissors are used once the meats are cooked to cut into bite-sized pieces. You can also cook the meats under the broiler if you do not have a portable grill. Eat the meats as described in the recipes as little lettuce packages, on their own, or with rice and kimchi. Enjoy!
