Notes

• Clean the sugpo properly. You can do with a running water from a faucet while rubbing it with your finger. You should also cut the antenna.
• Don’t over cook the sugpo. Otherwise, it will become rubbery. One indication that it’s already cook is when it forms the letter “C”. Don’t let it form to “G” or it will be chewy.
