Ever wonder what snack combos your favorite idols like to eat? Mark from GOT7 has the recipe for you.

What Is The Mark Meal?

The Mark Meal is a delicious sausage and cheese rabokki dish named after the rapper, Mark Tuan, from GOT7. It was created by a fan of GOT7 and Mark in particular who wanted to boost Mark's name on Korean search engines (fans were tired of Minecraft results dominating searches for "Mark"). The fan posted the recipe online in 2016, and it went viral. Since then, this recipe has been notorious among the K-pop and snacking community due to its deliciousness, simplicity, and affordable price.

What Does Mark Think About It?

Despite not creating the recipe, Mark himself is shown to be quite the fan of the simple dish. In fact, he has even made it various times on different variety shows that he has guested on, including Running Man and Weekly Idol. As a result of all of his recreations of the recipe, it is safe to say that Mark is a pretty big fan of the meal that shares his name.

What's It Made Out Of?

While it may seem like a regular sausage and cheese rabokki, the Mark Meal is special because it calls for ingredients you can find in any Korean convenience store: prepackaged sausage, mozzarella string cheese, instant tteokbokki, and instant spaghetti ramen. You heard that right, spaghetti ramen.

How to Make It

  3. Once finished, pour the water out of the spaghetti ramen.
  4. Empty the instant spaghetti ramen into the tteokbokki container.
