Three ways to make korean style cocktail

 
 
The most popular korean alcoholic beverage would be soju.
For me, soju is not the best drink because I like delicious one.
Soju tastes weired for me, so I always try to make better taste with other drinks mixing with soju.
And here's very simple some examples how korean drinks can become like cocktail.
 
For this, you need soju (korean alcoholic beverage)
red vinegar
 
rasberry wine
beer
sprite (any lemonade flavour beverage)
 

 
Prepare red vinegar (hongcho) and soju 50ml
 
 
 

mix soju 50ml and red vinegar 50ml
and add ice on it.
 







 Beer 200ml
Rasberry wine 30ml
 
 
 

Mix together
 
 
 
 

This one is very famouse for young people in korea.
It called "Ambasa" or "somaeksa"
It is the mixture of soju, beer and sprite (in korea, we use what it called saida)
 
Here's an important tip
The proportion should be 1:1:1
(for me, it is the best proportion!)
 
Soju 50ml
Beer 50ml
Sprite 50ml
 
 
 
After you mix all of them and use the tissue, block the cup just like the photo.
and hit the botton by another hand, drink right away before the bubbles are gone.

Teriyaki egg mixed noodle recipe

 
 
 
One of my favorite korean TV programs is happy together, which is the program including "night cafeteria"
 
I watch this program because of night cafeteria.
Korean celebrities on the TV show let us know their recipes which are mostly simple, quick and outstanding!
so that we can cook their recipes at night when we get hungry.
 
 
 
My favorite singer is seo in-guk, and he was on this show last year,
he brought some amazing recipes at that time, so I want to introduce his recipe first !
 
(but, there are so many amazing recipes from this show. I will introduce more later :D )
 


 
Teriyaki egg mixed noodle
 
 
 INGREDIENTS (serves 1)
 
Essential: 
1 Korean Noodle
(it should be one of korean noodles because it need soup mix as well which is the one belong to korean noodles)
 
 
For spices:
Teriyaki sauce
 
1 egg
 
 
 
 METHOD
 
 
 
 
 
Step 1. After cooking the noodles, soak them in some raw beaten eggs.
The heat from the noodle will cook the eggs
 
 
Step 2. Add some teriyaki sauce and mix them!
 

 
 
Step 3. Mix in half of the soup mix.
 
 
Those octopus shaped sausages are just tooooo cute! :)
