I didn't have any side dishes to eat with my rice, so I hurriedly ordered some and made this. With the dried shredded squid, a bowl of rice disappears in a flash.
unichoko
It’s not a cheap product in Korea either, but it’s really too expensive in the U.S. Since there aren’t as many varieties of side dishes to make as there are in Korea, I decided to give it a try.
다은
It's a product I buy often. I like that I can make it quickly!

It's delicious. Since dried shredded squid is expensive in Korea as well, the price in the US is reasonable. It's not enough to make a side dish; I finish it all just by dipping it in gochujang a few times.

It's great for making side dishes!!
