Hi Maangchi! You are my hero. I tried this for the first time and it turned out sooooooooooo good. It wasn’t perfect but I know better for the next time. I have always stayed away from Korean food because it is too complicated but you made it so easy. I will be the envy among my friends now…hehehe. I will post pictures for the next one. I was too busy eating this one!
omg, I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you!
can i use gochujang instead of hot pepper flakes? cause i only have gochujang. if yes, how much do i need to put?
Yes, of course you can. I prefer to use hot pepper flakes though.
