It’s a delicious specialty dish with a crispy exterior, chewy interior, and the savory richness of the eggs.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon noodles
- 2 fresh eggs
- 10g green onion (about 2 Tbsp)
- 20g onion (about 2 Tbsp)
Seasoning & Others- 3 pinches of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
- 3 pinches of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients for today’s dish. You’ll need one pack of Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon noodles, two fresh eggs, about 10g of green onion, and about 20g of onion. Feel free to use other vegetables you have on hand!
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion. Slicing it this way helps it soften and bring out its sweetness when cooked.
Step 3
Finely chop the green onion. You can substitute or add other vegetables like lettuce, perilla leaves, cilantro, or young garlic stalks that are in season or in your fridge for a more complex flavor.
Step 4
Bring 800ml of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon noodles and cook for exactly 1 minute. Since we’ll be pan-frying them again, it’s crucial to only cook them until they slightly loosen up. Overcooking will make them gummy.
Step 5
Immediately drain the cooked noodles and rinse them under cold running water. This step makes the noodles delightfully firm and chewy. After rinsing, ensure you drain them thoroughly.
Step 6
Now, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spread the drained noodles evenly in the pan. Spreading them out ensures even cooking.
Step 7
Crack the two eggs over the noodles. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread the egg mixture evenly over the entire surface of the noodles. Coating the noodles with egg makes them even more delicious.
Step 8
Next, sprinkle 3 pinches of salt evenly over the eggs to season. As the eggs cook, they will impart a wonderful flavor to the noodles.
Step 9
Arrange the dried pollack topping, which comes with the Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon pack, nicely over the noodles. The subtle flavor of the pollack adds a special touch.
Step 10
Evenly scatter the sliced onions and chopped green onions you prepared earlier over the pollack topping. The vegetables will soften and add a touch of sweetness as they cook.
Step 11
For an even richer flavor, consider adding some ham or sweet corn kernels, which kids especially love. The savory ham and bursting corn add fun textures and tastes.
Step 12
Now, fold the noodles in half, covering the egg and vegetables underneath like tucking them into a blanket. This technique ensures the inside stays moist while the outside gets perfectly crispy.
Step 13
Pan-fry over medium-low heat, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until you achieve that satisfying crispy exterior and chewy interior.
Step 14
Voila! Your delicious Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon pan-fried noodles are ready. Transfer them to a plate, cut them with scissors, and enjoy! For an extra burst of flavor, dip them into the accompanying Dunjji Bibim Naengmyeon sauce for a delicious sweet and spicy kick. This simple yet special dish is a must-try!
