Ingredients- 1 serving of high-protein somen noodles (approx. 100-120g)
- 1 serving of chicken broth (approx. 500-600ml)
- A small amount of fresh chives
- A small amount of black sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s introduce the dish today: ‘Dakguksu,’ a delightful noodle soup made using leftover chicken broth. It’s a fantastic way to create a deeply flavorful meal with minimal effort.
Step 2
First, we’ll cook the noodles. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 serving of high-protein somen noodles and cook them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the package instructions. This ensures the noodles will be perfectly ‘al dente’ when added to the hot broth, preventing them from becoming mushy.
Step 3
Once the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them and rinse thoroughly under cold running water, or an ice bath. This step is crucial for removing excess starch, which prevents the noodles from sticking together and maintains their wonderfully chewy texture. Make sure to drain them well.
Step 4
Now, let’s assemble the Dakguksu. Place the drained, cooked noodles attractively into your serving bowl. Next, pour the warm chicken broth over the noodles, ensuring they are well submerged. For a cleaner taste and appearance, you can strain the broth through a sieve beforehand.
Step 5
Finally, it’s time for the garnishes! Finely chop the fresh chives after washing and drying them, then sprinkle them generously over the noodles. If you like, you can also add a little minced garlic or chopped green onions. For a final touch of nutty flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle plenty of toasted black sesame seeds on top.
Step 6
Voilà! Your delicious ‘Dakguksu’ is ready. Enjoy the rich flavor of the chicken broth combined with the perfectly chewy noodles. It’s best served immediately while hot. Enjoy your meal!
