Chef Kevin shares, “I was born in Korea, but growing up in Hawaii helped me see the importance of celebrating diversity and understanding each other’s cultures. One of my favorite memories from living in Hawaii is the shared expression of Aloha – or love – through food.”
He adds, “Sharing a meal together is one of my favorite ways to experience different cultures.” Now, you can experience a different culture too, by recreating this meal at home!
