๐Ÿฏ Tasty Tips | ๋ง›์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๋จน๋Š” ๊ฟ€ํŒ

  • Add cheese on top just before serving for a creamy, spicy mix. Mozzarella melts beautifully into the sauce.
  • Serve it with a bowl of steamed rice โ€” it balances the spice perfectly.
  • If you like heat, sprinkle extra chili flakes or add Korean green chili (cheongyang pepper).
  • Add instant noodles or rice cakes (tteok) at the end for a heartier version.
  • The next day, reheat the leftovers and mix them with rice โ€” it tastes even better.
