Golbaengi Muchim (Spicy Bai Top Shell Salad) Recipe Video
If you've been Korean bar in Korea, you probably saw at least one table has Golbaengi muchim. It is very popular in Korea, but because of the image of bai top shell - snail, not everyone loves it at first sight.
It's chewy, very delicious with the spicy sauce we commonly toss with. If I can explain a bit more friendly, it is Korean style pasta salad - because we always serve this salad with noodles on the side. And mix it together right before you eat with chopsticks!
