cool tip !
This dish is one of the most
popular snacks among teens, especially for girls.
It's hot, hot, and hot!!! Might be to spicy for those who are not familiar with Korean food.
But it's really good.(Also you can make milder version.)
Once you taste it, you will always go back! Sometimes I use thin rice cakes,
they cook faster and also absorb flavor faster.
