K-RECIPE 1st Menu

           Hello, K-BAP blog followers. It is great to see you again. It has been more than three weeks after this K-BAP blog started to post about Korean foods. In the introduction of this blog, I told you that I am going to post stories and recipes of Korean foods and ingredients. But, up to this time, I have posted just about the stories not recipes. Therefore, I eventually decided to post the first recipe of Korean food. Actually, this post would not handle the recipe of a dish. The first menu of K-Recipe is sauce. 

           Let’s think about the proper menu for pairing with any kind of beer. If you are not adult, think about proper menu for coke. I’m thinking of steak, pizza and other menus for paring with beer or coke. Some of you might choose fried chicken to pair with beer. That’s right. The menu for this post is Korean sauce for fried chicken. In Korea, people usually eat fried chicken with beer. Even, there is a newly coined word “Chi-Maek” means chicken with beer. If you go to Korean chicken restaurant, you would find two menus of chicken for sure. Original fried chicken and spicy seasoned chicken are those menus. Following recipe is sauce for that spicy seasoned chicken.
