Chef Susan Kim 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. Get the recipe for the celery and turnip pickles, also featured in the box.

  • I loved this! I keep missing the Eat Doshi pop-ups so this was a fun way to try it out for myself. I did find it helpful to watch a video, but it's pretty easy and not unlike making classic French omelets in some ways. Looking forward to trying different fillings too—maybe caramelized kimchi?

  • Pretty good, but the parmesan came through a bit more strongly than I would have liked--next time I'll use about half as much as the recipe calls for.
