Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding fermented sand lance sauce gives the broth a deep, rich umami flavor.
  • Korean small octopus (nakji) becomes tough if overcooked, so add it at the final stage and cook just until tender for a chewy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy spicy, refreshing seafood and meat hot pot soups.
  • Those who want a hearty meal or drinking snack with the generous combination of whole Korean small octopus (nakji) and beef bulgogi.
  • Those who love the chewy texture of bunmoja noodles and Korean small octopus (nakji).
