You might was well eat a bowl of hot lava. I mean, it’s basically served at the boiling point (which is much, much higher than the boiling point of plain water), in an iron dish that seems to violate the laws of thermodynamics by never, ever cooling down by even one degree Fahrenheit.
So of course I’m starving, and I left my 7-Eleven-sized bag of ICE at home, so after waiting an interminable time, I convince myself it must have cooled off enough to try a sip, but NOPE… roof of mouth burned again, along with my lips, tongue, the back of my throat, and any other flesh unlucky enough to be exposed to this nuclear-blast-level superheated liquid.
Guess I won’t be tasting anything else for the next week or ten days. Haven’t these people ever heard of the [McDonalds coffee burn lawsuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants)? If god forbid some naive Korean restauranteur ever tries selling this stuff out of a drive-thru window, they’re going to need The World’s Biggest Lawfirm^TM to handle the flood of litigation they’ll get hit with. Even Bill Gates wouldn’t be able to pay the punitive damages a jury will award after seeing a few large posterboards with blown-up color photos of the third-degree burns some poor 98-year-old grandma will suffer over half her body as soon as she attempts to grab a quart-sized container of BLAZING HOT Korean soup with her bare hands.
“Educational Non Recipe” indeed…

You get the soup and the rice. You dump all the rice into the soup and transfer small bits of rice and soup in the empty rice bowl. Eat the soup in the rice bowl because it cools faster and then repeat. Usually korean kids eat like this because they too cannot handle the heat. Old Korean people live off pain, the hotter and the spicier the more refreshing
