Behind the Dish

Dumplings, ravioli, noodles—different worlds, same soul. This dish bridges Italian and Asian flavors, starting with a rich mushroom filling wrapped in wonton skins and pan-seared for that perfect bite. The brown butter miso sauce was good, but something was missing. A splash of cream changed everything—an aha moment. Then came the arugula, inspired by an omakase steak garnish, now cutting through the richness like it was always meant to be there. Familiar yet unexpected, everything in balance, like the cosmos aligning.
