Just discovered you on Tic Tock and went right to your site! I will try this weekend and I can’t wait! I love your videos! Thank you!
i made an account just to tell you how much i love this recipe! i’m making it again tonight and my mouth is watering just thinking about the delicious combo of spicy chicken with melty cheese. i wish i could find rice cakes to go with it, i’ve had them at korean restaurants and loved them and i bet they’d be delicious here.
i usually add a veggie to stretch the meat for budget and nutrition reasons. i’ve done cauliflower in the past but tonight will probably use some shredded green cabbage. everything is so yummy in that sauce! i’m excited to explore other recipes, and i really appreciate how easy and accessible you make this recipe, especially for those of us who might not have access to all the authentic ingredients
Thank you very much for making your account to give me nice words! I appreciate it. It sounds like you are a great cook!
my family is really pick and they LOVE this dish!! my mom requested that I make it tonight but we only have fresh mozzarella, I’m afraid the water content will be too high…. will it work?
yes
Sooo good. Crazy idea I’ve yet to try: omitting rice cakes and using as topping for Fire chicken pizza. Salivating just thinking about it. I don’t usually think of cheese going well with Asian style cuisines. How wrong I was! Very unique dish.
Wow~ They don’t call it Fire Chicken for nothing! Tasty, but quite spicy. Thanks again, Maangchi!

I served it with 라면 because I didn’t have any 떡 on hand.

I tried making this the other day maangchi, and it was amahzing!! <3 Thank you maangchi!
This is the 4th time I’ve made buldak, and each time I use your recipe! I’ve since tried to be more creative with it, but oh man I really think your recipe is the best Maangchi!
Made as directed other than used jaggery instead of the Korean Rice Syrup (ssalyeot). Delicious !! Easy to make! Thanks.
I love this recipe and made it three times before it’s been a while since I’ve made it and well…. I added too much water any suggestions on how to fix it?
I have made this twice and it is incredible. I have subbed honey or golden syrup for the rice syrup and it works just fine. Thanks Maangchi!
Great!
I made this recipe without the cheese so I just cooked it on the stove top. I did not have the rice cakes.
I did not find it very hot, surprisingly. Maybe my pepper flakes were a bit old. I ate this with some basmati rice – very delicious! Thank you Maangchi.
Actually that’s original Korean buldak. Adding rice cakes and cheese is kind of new! Adding rice cakes is my own variation.
Hi, where did you bought hot pepper flakes and hot pepper paste in Ottawa? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Ottawa.
Check out Seoul Mart in Ottawa. https://www.maangchi.com/shopping/canada/seoul-mart-in-ottawa-canada
Thanks Maangchi!
Love your videos, love your cooking.
Making this tonight. Really looking forward to it!
Hi,
Love the recipe and i am wondering what kind of cast iron pan you are using.
Thanks
Nick
