Hi.
I’m Korean and now live in Korea too.
When I was in high school, I really enjoyed this snack a lot.
Infront of my school there was a shop selling this Kkwabaegi also with other snacks.
But before I learned maangchi’s recipe, I never imagined I can make Kkwabaegi by myself!
But I made it! My sister said exactly same like one sell in a shop.
So yummy! Thank you maangchi. You reminded me good old memory and good taste as well!
Thank you :)
Have a cool photo you want to share?
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
