We have been pretty hokked to Asain kitchen recently, preparing variety of woks and some Thai specialties. Balance between five flavors: sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy really makes you wanna eat it.

“WATCH OUT IT CAN GET PRETTY SPICY!”

The first meal I wanna with you is Spacy Korean beef noodles. It is easy and fast to prepare. The secret of this recipe is in the sauce, which is based on Gochujang, Korean chile paste. Watch out it can get pretty spicy.
