Seared sirloin and spaghetti are glazed in a soy-butter garlic sauce that tastes savory, rich, and intensely aromatic.

Orzo cooks in a doenjang-clam base with spinach, creating a cozy, savory bowl with briny depth and a soft risotto-like texture.

Spaghetti is tossed with clam liquor, garlic, olive oil, and white wine, then finished with chives for a fresh and briny depth.
