Sense8: Jjamppong

Sense8: Jjamppong recipe

It will just be a few days until the two hour finale for Sense8 will air on Netflix.  I don’t know what you have in planned but I am definitely going to silent my phone and snuggle up with a big bowl of this noodle soup for the finale.  This recipe may seem quite labor intensive but it really isn’t and I’ve tried my best o simplify the recipe without losing any flavor.

You can really add anything to this noodle soup.  You can customize with various seafood and vegetables so make what you enjoy!

SOO-JIN:  He only took me there on special nights when he had to make up for something. But the Jjamppong was incredible. That’s where I think we should go on our first night out.

LINA:  Sounds perfect.  I love Jjamppong. Especially with too much soju.
