I love how in the summer ddeokbokki is so spicy it looks like it's physically causing the children pain, but they can't help from shoveling it on in.

Instead of using the chilli paste (ko-chu-jang), it'll be a good trial to use a glass of Sprite. Trust me. ;-)

I tried my hand at your recipe the day before yesterday, and posted a write-up about it on my weblog! Not bad for a first attempt - I'll try giving it a little more color and spice the next time around!

Wow, Jasper! Good job! You're right- it didn't look anywhere near as spicy as it should have been! That stuff should set your mouth on fire.

I couldn't remember EXACTLY what tae hun and I did, so I found a "similar" recipe

Welcome to Korea, btw!! hope you guys are having a good time.

Ohhhhhhhhh my gosh! I wish I had read this post earlier! My students were CRAVING Korean food and if I only knew how to make a few dishes, they wouldn't have missed Korean food so much! I did make my version of Bibimbap, which went over well! Oh, and we took them to a Korean restaurant in Montreal a few weeks ago. The students said it was as authentic as they get for a Canadian restaurant.
