Yesterday, my husband and I went to a farmer’s market. They always have very fresh fruits and vegetables. I love to go there. Anyway, I found these fresh cucumbers for pickling, and decided to make Korean cucumber kimchi. The price for one cucumber was 25 cents. When I told them I wanted 20 cucumbers, they only charged me $2 for all of them. @.@ Big~~~ discount! In this case, we say “ASSA!” in Korean. hehe … I already got a request for this dish from some people, so I hope people will like this recipe.

팥빙수, PatBingSu
Posted by Aeri Lee on July 18, 2009

Today, I will introduce you to a Korean summer dessert. Many people from YouTube requested this. It was amazing to see how many people know about this Korean dessert and love it. It is summer now and fortunately, I could find most of the ingredients for potbingsu in the Korean grocery store. Actually, I thought that at least one or two ingredients would be hard to get here, such as the crushed red beans and the special sticky rice cakes for potbingsu. My husband can tell you how happy I was when I saw them in the store. hehe … The ice with red beans, milk, fruits, rice cakes, and corn flakes give it good flavor. Of course, it is a very cool dessert for the hot summer days. Thanks!
Yield: 1 Serving
