Directions

1. Get a frying pan or a pan large enough to have at least an inch of water in it
2. Fill it up to about 1 inch water
3. Add 4xs more gochujang than you do sugar (ie: 4tbs gochujang and 1 tbs sugar)
4. Add as much gochucarro as you want
5. Add as much garlic as you want, probably not too much

12. When the rice cakes and ramen noodles are cooked all the way, taste test to see if the sauce is too watery or not
13. If it is too watery, just keep cooking and stirring at med heat until needed

Also I've heard that if you boil dried anchovies and use that water to cook the rice cakes and use it as the water base, it tastes better, but I haven't tried it yet.

Starting the Korean Cookbook

So this summer, the plan was to learn how to cook from my mom before I went back to school and had to cook for myself. So far, it's been kind of failing...

Not only does my mom only claim to know very few recipes, the ingredient that I need will most likely not exist at Des Moines. Also, another problem is that my mom does not measure anything. It's mostly eyeballing.

Nevertheless, I will try my best to put up random recipes that I find successful.
