Taste & texture
Thick, savoury and spicy, with a deep fermented soybean-paste flavour.
How to enjoy it
Eaten as a hot bowl with kimchi on the side; a popular lunch on cold days.
Ingredients & preparation
Knife-cut wheat noodles in a broth made with gochujang and doenjang, often with potato and seafood or vegetables.

Spicier than regular kalguksu. A Gangwon-do, and especially Gangneung, speciality.

Old noodle shops around Gangneung Central Market.
