So much so that I almost always make it a point to stop by the Korean restaurant whenever I'm in the city to get my much needed Bibimbap (stone pot rice with veggies, egg and beef). But the best thing about Korean food has definitely got to be their side dishes! When I used to go to the restaurants in Houston, we'd have at least 5 to 6 different side dishes, refillable! Yummm!
And a favourite is always the fish cakes... spicy or sweet. Delicious!
So I found a recipe and tweaked it to my advantage and it came out exactly how I wanted it to be! :D
