During our hot summer, I often cook spicy food. Toban Djan (Chili Bean Sauce) and Chilli Garlic Sauce are essential seasonings for me, and so is Kimchi. I often use it for cooking. ‘Buta (Pork) & Kimchi’ is a very popular combination and here is another ‘Donburi’ (Rice Bowl) dish recipe for you to try.
