Literal Meaning
Like eating cold rice porridge
Usage
Used to express confidence in one's ability to do something.
죽 is a watered-down rice gruel that Koreans often eat when they are sick since it is easy to eat and digest. It is Korea's version of the American chicken-soup remedy. Even though 죽 is easy to eat, it is even easier when it is cold since one does not have to worry about scalding the inside of one's mouth.
Korean Equivalent
거리낌없이 아주 쉽게 예사로 하는 모양.
English Equivalent
A piece of cake. / Mere child's play.
