Serving it with spaghetti adds an interesting textural play, making the dish hearty and harmonious. Perfect for cozy family dinners, it leaves a warm aftertaste of Eastern motifs and brings a touch of culinary sophistication to the table. This combination of traditional Korean cooking techniques and universal ingredients makes it accessible and beloved worldwide.
