The Bulguri ramen recipe created by BTS member Jungkook attracted keen attention from local chefs in Vietnam.
The June 25th broadcast of KBS 2TV’s entertainment program “Boss in the Mirror” showed Chef Jung Ho Young and intern Kang Jae Joon holding a free tasting event for locals in Vietnam with the Bulguri recipe shared by BTS Jungkook.
That day, Jung Ho Young introduced Soy Sauce Pork Bulgogi at the free tasting event as part of his plan to enter Vietnam, while Kang Jae Joon was seen ambitiously preparing Jungkook’s Bulguri dish.
Jung Ho Young and Kang Jae Joon then asked the guests who attended the tasting event to vote by placing on the plate a spoon if they liked the Soy Sauce Pork Bulgogi and a fork if they liked Bulguri. The result was a tie with a 5-5 tie.
In particular, two local Vietnamese chefs tasted Bulguri and showed a positive response, saying, “It would be good for young people”, and ate the noodles eagerly as if they were captivated by the taste. Later, both chefs put their forks on the plate and chose Bulgogi.
Other guests from the tasting team praised the dish, saying, “It would be delicious to have it for dinner after work,” “It would be a nice dish to eat late at night”, etc.
In the studio, Jung Ho Young confessed, “The Bulguri is really delicious”, praising, “Jungkook has good taste. In addition to Bulguri, he also shares many of his own recipes on SNS. He seems to have tried cooking and eating his own recipes many times.”
Here is Jungkook’s Bulguri recipe: Pour water (about 650ml – 680ml) into a frying pan, rather than a pot, and heat it up. Before the water boils, add one pack of Buldak sauce and half of Neoguri powder (save Buldak toppings for later). Once the water starts building, add noodles and cook them. Then, check the condition of the noodles and adjust the soup. Add more water if it’s too salty. Finally, add Buldak toppings and roasted sesame seeds to the noodles.
Jungkook’s Bulguri recipe has garnered keen attention from overseas media outlets, such as the US music magazine Rolling Stone. Videos of Jungkook cooking and eating are also viral on the world’s largest video platforms Youtube and Tiktok.
Meanwhile, Jungkook also captivated fans around the world by sharing various recipes, such as Spicy Mayo Tteokbokki and Cup Noodle Fried Rice, through BTS’s official SNS account and his live broadcasts.
