- Quick-pickle baby shiitake mushrooms in rice vinegar, sugar, and sea salt for 1 hour.
- Toss microgreens in sesame-citrus vinaigrette made from sesame oil, lemon juice, and a touch of honey.
- Prepare mini bibimbap with heirloom vegetables sautéed gently, topped with a perfectly fried quail egg.
- Plate with care: place ribs atop daikon puree, arrange pickled mushrooms and microgreens elegantly, drizzle fermented chili oil, sprinkle toasted black sesame and edible flowers, serve bibimbap on the side.
