I love Korean food, I love food sharing, and I love Tacos! Thats why this dish is an absolute favorite of mine. I also love the idea of making a looooot of small dishes, so this is the perfect dish for those of you who share this “sharing is caring” idea. Also this dish is so easy to vary and adapt to different allergies, food preferences and what you’re in the mood for when making it.
I love making this dish when you have a few friend or family coming over. Its so cozy to sit around the table, prepare your own lettuce cups, make different variant and enjoy a long dinner.
