Notes

Enjoy this taste of Korea!  The flavors are BIG and BOLD here, so if you don't like things too spicy you can cut back on the gochugaru (Korean hot pepper powder) to suit your tastes.
Great served with some Korean banchan (side dishes) as well!  Check out Korean Perilla Leaves or Korean Zucchini Side Dish for some tasty options!
