How to Make Patbingsu (Korean Shaved Ice)
- Put the ice blocks into a food processor (or shaved ice machineif you have one). Grind the ice (for about 20 seconds) until it has a smooth texture.
Place the shaved ice into a chilled serving bowl. Top up with your choice of fruit, red bean paste, mochi. Garnish with sweetened condensed milk. (FYI: I like layering the sweetened condensed milk on top of the shaved ice as well as on top of the fruit.)
