I do like watching Korean drama and variety show, for that most effect me is their food. Especially from Running Man variety shows when they have food mission or cooking mission, look at food they eat make me growling. Like teokpokki, kimchi, kimchi ramyun, bimbibap and all grill meat and stew. All look really yummy and i want to eat all.. I have search for Korean dish recipe, but more of their paste , sauce or others ingredient not sold at Korean mart here. So, from all Korean food i am craving for only kimchi that i can homemade. I got the recipe from here and make sort modification according to taste and ingredients available at my place.
