A perfect way to spend time together! Any type of dumpling/gyoza/pierogi/ravioli (anything stuffed) is so nice to have help with. That's probably why I don't make anything like that often. I love to cook, but I do have a bit of an aversion to anything with too many steps, haha. That filling sounds fantastic, and I've been meaning to try my hand at a vegan bibimbap for a while, as well.

Of course I am 100% with you on teaching the next generation to cook! I'm so glad my mother taught us the basics growing up. All three of us have grown up to be good cooks in our own right because of it. I am amazed at how many of my contemporaries don't cook (or how many clients I've trained that never step foot in their gorgeous kitchens), though there does seem to be a shift occurring. Good on you for teaching him some excellent skills. Even better that now you get to reap the benefits by enjoying a delicious meal. ;)
