About the Class
What You'll Make
- Gyeran-Mari Gimbap Rolled Korean egg omelette with seasoned rice and seaweed — a beloved lunchbox classic.
- Korean-Style Egg Drop Soup A comforting, savory broth with silky egg ribbons, ready in minutes.
Both dishes use Yondu, Sempio's plant-based umami sauce, as the key seasoning — so they're naturally vegan-adaptable and beginner-friendly.

The Key Ingredient
Yondu Vegetable Umami Sauce
Yondu is Sempio's plant-based vegetable umami sauce — naturally fermented and made from soybeans. A few drops add rich, savory depth to any dish without overpowering it.
It's vegan, gluten-free, and Non-GMO certified, and it works beautifully as a fish sauce alternative in both Korean and Non-Korean cooking.
