After taste testing a few things, I made this delicious corn cheese recipe to share with Lindsay and you today. It is a popular side dish for some Korean restaurants in Korea.

Try it someday.Yield: 2 Servings [Read more...]Filed Under: Appetizers & Snacks, Food & Recipes, Sides, Vegetarian, Western FoodClam KalGukSu바지락 칼국수, BaJiRak KalGukSuMarch 7, 2014 by Aeri Lee 4 CommentsToday, I will show you how to make a delicious Korean noodle dish called “kalguksu” in Korean.
