It all started back in the day when small restaurants offered this crispy, finger licking snack as street food dish. Fast forward to the 80's, and suddenly, this dish was the main squeeze, with big chain getting in on the action.
But it's not just a pretty face, like a good Korean drama its background is a bit contraversial. Some say American soldiers stationed in Korea introduced the dish.
Whether it's true or not, one thing is certain, Korean chefs made it crispier, stickier and all-round better! Since then, it has taken over the world and is loved by foodies everywhere!
