Sapporo Miso Ramen with Jjukkmi Tteokbokk

While our Sapporo Miso Ramen is great on its own, we decided to add a kick to it! Jjukmi Tteokbokki is a Korean spicy grilled baby octopus with rice cakes. It is one of the spicy dishes you can try in Korean cuisine! We experimented and topped this spicy dish to our Sapporo Miso Ramen. The spicy taste of the jjukkmi and the rich taste of Sapporo Miso Ramen are well balanced!
