Spicy Chicken and Noodles

Spicy Chicken and Noodles on the magazine

What kind of taste can you imagine from this picture? I can imagine a slightly salty and savory noodle taste, but if you do so, you are wrong too. :)

It is not a red dish like other spicy Korean food, but it was spicy. It was totally unexpected. I would say it had a Thai food kind of spiciness from a well balanced mix of garlic, pepper, and chili. Though we really liked its sweet and spicy harmony.

    One thing you need to know is even if you brush your teeth afterwards, the fragrance of garlic remains for an hour at least. :D Have some sweets.

      I would have said not too spicy too. Still it looks delicious!

      I know, it is tricky, isn’t it? :) Though I think it had a kind of addictive spiciness, I feel like having some already.

      This looks so good. I think I have all the ingredients to make it, too.
      I’m with you on the garlic–my husband and I had samkyupsal the other night and I ate raw garlic. I haven’t really had it much since I lived in Korea. Well, let’s just say I used to be able to handle the after effects and now, not so much. I kept waking up in the night and smelling my own garlicky breath–eek!

      beloved, I know how you would have felt. It is quite common after having some Korean meals, you know. The food is yummy but the experience you have to go through afterwards is quite terrible. :D
