This bacon-wrapped scallops recipe lightly marinates scallops in teriyaki, freshly grated ginger, and brown sugar sauce. They are always a huge hit at every party I go to. They disappear fast, and then I'm always asked for the recipe. I often hear comments such as: "What an awesome combination! These are so hard to resist!"

Bulgogi Beef (Korean-Style Barbecue)
In the best examples I've had of beef bulgogi in Korean restaurants, the meat, while tender, still had a little bit of chewiness to it. You can control texture by the thickness or thinness of the slices and how long you marinate them. But this Korean-style BBQ recipe has a fairly fast-acting marinade, so I go with an hour or two.

Velvet Steak with Korean Chili Butter
The velvet steak with Korean chili butter recipe uses the velveting technique, typically used for stir-fries, but I decided to try it on pan-fried top sirloin steaks, and my experiment was a great success! The theory behind velveting is that the egg white, cornstarch, and rice wine mixture coats the surface of the meat, locking in moisture and giving it a tender, velvety texture. Top sirloin is lean and doesn't have a lot of fat, but these steaks — thanks to the velveting — were unbelievably juicy! Serve it with rice or pasta to soak up the juices.
