Hello~ Evy again~ :)

In this time, I want to show you about making homemade chapassalddeok with a microwave oven. It is so easy and simple recipe, and~~~ it is an appetizing dessert.

Actually, It used to be called “Mochi”, but it is not a korean word. "Mochi" is a Japanese word that simply means “rice cake”, and we calls this particular kind of rice cake “chapssalddeok.”

After the video ended, you are going to say, "Oh~ It is very easy to make at home" :D

Ok~ Let us move on the next part!!
