1..2..3..SAY CHEESE
Oh gosh, miss saying that while taking group photos. In social distancing we can't even take group pictures anymore Hope everything gets better soon. However, temporary relief is food for now. Sometimes, staying indoors and eating the same food every week make us lose our appetite. I remember not eating lunch and dinner for few days (don't be like me) because I didn't want to eat the same rice. I should be grateful for at least having food to eat. Somehow, the gratefulness didn't last because I got bored and didn't had any appetite to even eat vegetables.
In the middle of not eating due to the boredom and not having appetite, I managed to find new recipes in online. I tried the recipes the following week and believe me it made me happy. I love cheese and cheese tteokbokki was one of the most easiest recipe to cook. The recipe is very easy that I tried too many times.
Plus, you can use any cheese you want in this cheese tteokbokki. I used mozarella.
