BTS’s Jungkook ‘Bulguri’ Recipe
BTS’s Jungkook’s ‘Bulguri’ recipe is making waves worldwide.
In March, Jungkook shared his ‘Bulguri Recipe’ on the fan community platform Weverse. In this post, he detailed the recipe, saying, “Start by pouring approximately 650ml to 680ml of water into a frying pan rather than a pot, and heat it up. Before the water boils, add a packet of Buldak liquid sauce and about half of the Neoguri (you can add the Buldak toppings at the end). Once the water begins to boil, add the noodles and let them cook. While cooking, keep an eye on the noodle’s texture and adjust the water as needed. Finally, add the Buldak toppings and some roasted sesame seeds if available. You can also add some sesame oil.” This unique fusion of Neoguri and Buldak Ramen intrigued fans with its detailed instructions.
Jungkook added, “This is really delicious. ARMY, you should try it too… I just had it,” passionately encouraging fans to give the ‘Bulguri Recipe’ a try.
