K-pop culture has taken over India and how. From the K-beauty regime, K-pop music, to the K-dramas - people are embracing Korean culture in one way or the other. But more than this, there is one thing that has caught the attention of many - soulful Korean food. From spicy ramen to mushy teok-bokki, we love everything about their gastronomy. While it's the Korean spices which make Korean food a flavourful indulgence, we can replicate the dishes using our household spices as well. And, today, we'd like to introduce to you the recipe for a classic Korean street food known as Garlic Cheese Bun. It is basically made with sweetened cream cheese and dunked in sweet, herbed garlic butter. They are a combination between sweet and savoury. It's garlicky with a mix of sweetened layers of tang from the cream cheese, which balances the salt. No doubt, these Korean Garlic Cheese Buns make for a lip-smacking delicious treat.

Sugar: 1 tbsp
Fresh cream/milk: 2 tbsp
Melted butter: ¼ cup
Garlic (chopped): 2 tbsp
Chilli flakes: 1 tbsp
Spring onions (chopped): 2 tbsp
Method:
Step 1: First, we start by mixing cream cheese, sugar, and fresh cream or milk in a bowl. Whisk it properly till a smooth paste is not formed. If available, fill up this mix in a piping bag also. It will save us from the mess during the filling up procedure.
Step 2: Next, we add melted butter to a fresh bowl. It is followed by chopped garlic, chilli flakes, and spring onions. Mix it well.
Step 3: Take a bun and make six semi-cuts on the top. Fill in the whipped cheese between the cuts. Now, smear the bun in butter garlic mix.
Step 4: The last step is to bake it at 180*c for 15-20 mins.
