It's great eaten plain, crispy outside and juicy inside, but dipping it in the sauce that comes with it makes it even better♡ I'd recommend Bulnaneun Jjukkumi as a Baekseok-dong lunch pick~!! ![Jjukkumi stir-fry ordered at the mild-spicy setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/buljjukkumi-baekseokdong-lunch-open-run/buljjukkumi-baekseokdong-lunch-open-run-24-7ardd-900.webp) ## Even the mild setting was spicy You can adjust the spice level, and I ordered the mild-spicy setting, but as a spice wimp it still felt spicier to me than Shin Ramyun, haha.
