With the summer heat, I really love something cool but also spicy. This looks like I would love eating it quite often. Thank you for sharing.

Chef Jia Choi is the best Korean chef youtuber to follow. I have tried some of her recipes (grill mackerel, LA Galbi, etc).. all turned out to be amazing. I've made Sundubu Jjigae from her recipe and my husband praised so much, he said it's 95% similar to restaurant version. As a foreigner who's married to Korean man, I'm happy to have found her channel. Thank you chef and perhaps I could ask some recipes of Gwangju Duck Soup. Cheers!

I just tried this one, I put less chili paste so less spicy to my taste, my family loves it, will definitely be making it more in the summer, thank u Chef Jia!

your hint to clear off the strong onion flavour by pouring them into cold water is genious and I will definetly try! Thanks for the video. It reminds me a bit of the chinese smashed cucumber salad. In that salad you add chinese black vinigar, leave the gochujang and smash the cucumber instead off slicing it. These salads are a perfect snack. Greetings from Germany :-)
