With my qualifying exam is approaching, my personality has gone far away from whom I was used to be.  

Recently, I go shopping as if I was born in a millenary family and I eat like a cow as if I had a devil's figure . Unfortunately, my sleeping quality doesn’t go with my appetite and shopping desire. It is on and off; if one night is bad, then another night compensatorily gets better.  

Be honest, I'm not a cooking person. To me, cooking is conditional that depends on my mood and studying load (luckily that I'm not a housewife now  ). To my surprise, this afternoon, my feet and hands involuntarily moved to the kitchen and started to do something which obviously doesn't appear to be one of my plans today.  

I.....must be out of my mind!!

Well, here comes the result.  
This dish is called "Duk-Bo-Ki" in Korean, literally translated as "Fried rice cake (炒年糕)" in English (Chinese). This is a very common dish in Korea. If you are a huge fan of Korean series, you wouldn't feel unfamiliar with it.   I learn this dish from my Korean friend, DK, who is going to be a very promising movie director in the nearly future (he claims himself this way, and I have confidence with him  ). 

The recipe and procedures are as following: 

1. garlic: 1.5 spoons 
2. sugar: 3 spoons 
3. Korean spicy paste: 3 spoons 
4. green Onion: 1 
5. scallion 
6. rice cake 
7. veggie, fish cake (optional) 


Korean spicy paste and minced garlic
 

Add 1, 2, 3 together, and stir it.

Fry 4 and 5
Add water. The amount of water should be enough to soften 6 and 7. For this step, you need to eyeball the amount of water to be added in since it depends on how much 6 and 7 you plan to add in the next step.
Put 6, and 7， followed by the spicy pasted which you just made in step 1.  

When it is boiled, turn down the power to medium and leave it for some time.



When it becomes very sticky, then, Congratulation!!! You are done!!





Ready to eat......

As to the taste, no doubt, it's great!! Yummy~  :)
