We have a local to Utah Korean restaurant called Cupbop. The concept is it serves rice and Korean glass noodles in a bowl, you choose how much of everything you want, which protein you get and how spicy the level of your sauce is. It is absolutely delicious and I wanted to be able to eat it whenever I want to so I made my own copycat recipe home. Basically it’s a bowl with some lettuce, rice, the glass noodles, bulgogi beef, sriracha mayo and I like to top mine with some eel sauce too. You mix it all (YES!!! you have to) and go to town. You must try this one, it’s seriously that good!
