For the marinade (2 servings)

• ½ c soy sauce
• 1/3 c light brown sugar
• ½ TBSP sesame oil
• 2 TBSP gochujang
• 1/8 c rice wine vinegar
• 1 TBSP minced garlic
• 1 TBSP minced ginger
• 1/8 c thinly sliced shallots

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and shallots in a small bowl. Mix vey well. Add the Classic Cutlets, making sure to coat with the marinade. Cover tightly and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours prior to cooking.

For the sticky rice

• 1 c Japanese short grain rice
• 1 ½ c water
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ TBSP rice wine vinegar
• 1 TBSP sugar

Place dry rice in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse with cold water until the water runs clear, about 4 minutes. Place rice, water, and salt in a small saucepan and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Turn the heat on high and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes. While the rice is cooking combine the sugar and vinegar and heat slightly in a saucepan to melt the sugar. After the rice has been cooking for 20 minutes, turn the heat off. Remove the lid and evenly drizzle the sugar vinegar mix over the top off the rice. Place lid back on and allow the rice to steam with no heat for another 10 minutes.
