Black hottok

I came home earlier than hubby last Friday. When I went to the kitchen, I saw this on the table.



It's an overcooked honey hottok (a Chinese stuffed pancake). The brown hottok became black. How can hubby live without me? hehehe...

When hubby came home, he asked me with smile on his face if I saw the hottok. I said yes and told him that I already threw it away. My hubby said he put it in the toaster and there it was! Dyaraann...The black hottok. Ngeeekkk...

Koreans never eat the black part of the overcooked food. They believe that it can cause cancer. Even when we grilled something like pork or sausages, we always cut with scissors and throw away the dark part. In Korea, eat raw food but not overcooked.
