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.
