Let’s make some delicious Yeolmu Kimchi noodles, bursting with flavor and color! These kimchi-tangy cold noodles are always a delight to eat. Perfect for a refreshing meal.
Main Ingredients
- 1 serving store-bought cold noodle soup base
- 2 servings somyeon (thin wheat noodles)
- 200g well-fermented yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Yeolmu Kimchi cold noodles are wonderfully refreshing in the summer heat, but they’re also a unique treat enjoyed in a warm room during winter. It’s a delightful dish that can be enjoyed year-round.
Step 2
For the broth, we’ll use a convenient store-bought cold noodle soup base. This will provide a delicious foundation for our dish.
Step 3
Prepare your well-fermented yeolmu kimchi. We’ll be separating the kimchi solids from the juice. First, set aside the kimchi solids for a moment.
Step 4
Strain the yeolmu kimchi juice through a fine-mesh sieve. This process removes any coarse seasonings like chili powder or garlic, resulting in a clearer and cleaner broth. This also contributes to the beautiful color of the noodles.
Step 5
Gently squeeze the reserved yeolmu kimchi solids to remove excess liquid. This helps to control the saltiness while retaining a pleasant crunch. Slice the cucumber thinly for garnish.
Step 6
Cook the somyeon noodles in plenty of boiling water. Once the water comes to a boil, add the noodles. When it boils up again, pour in some cold water. Repeat this process once or twice until the noodles are perfectly cooked. Drain immediately once tender.
Step 7
Drain the cooked somyeon noodles thoroughly in a colander. Once the water has completely dripped off, place the noodles in a bowl. Arrange the prepared yeolmu kimchi solids and sliced cucumber attractively on top.
Step 8
Finally, pour the chilled broth over everything. Your delicious and appetite-stimulating Yeolmu Kimchi cold noodles are now ready to be enjoyed!
