Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the tender boiled pork (suyuk). In a pot, place the 200g of pork (for 2 servings) and add enough water to cover it completely. For added flavor and to remove any gamey odor, add 1/4 onion, 1/2 green onion stalk, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 Tbsp of doenjang. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pork is tender when pierced with a fork. Ensure no pink juices are released.
Step 2
While the pork is boiling, prepare the fresh vegetable toppings for the naengmyeon. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, then thinly slice them into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onion as well. Slice about 1/5 of a cucumber into thin half-moons or julienne it. These crisp vegetables will add a delightful texture to your noodles.
Step 3
Prepare the pear for a touch of sweetness. Slice about 1/8 of a pear into thin strips. The cool, sweet flavor of the pear complements the spicy bibim naengmyeon perfectly.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the spicy and sweet bibim sauce that will be the star of your naengmyeon. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp gochujang, 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix well until fully incorporated. Finally, sprinkle some sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. This makes about 2 servings of sauce.
Step 5
Once the suyuk is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Then, slice it thinly into manageable pieces. Avoid slicing it too thick, as this will make it easier to enjoy with the noodles and improve the overall texture.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine the thinly sliced onion and the sliced suyuk. Add about 2 tablespoons of the prepared bibim sauce and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Marinating the suyuk beforehand ensures it absorbs the delicious flavors of the sauce.
Step 7
Let’s get to cooking the noodles! Prepare one packet of Dongji Bibim Naengmyeon noodles. Bring 800ml of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for approximately 3 minutes, slightly less than the package instructions, to prevent them from becoming too soft. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Step 8
As soon as the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. This step removes excess starch, resulting in delightfully chewy and springy noodles. Drain the noodles completely, place them in a serving bowl, and mix them with the Dongji Bibim Naengmyeon sauce packet (or your homemade bibim sauce). Toss until well combined.
Step 9
Now it’s time to assemble your beautiful naengmyeon tray! Arrange the prepared lettuce leaves attractively at the bottom of a large platter or bowl. Artfully place the seasoned suyuk and the bibim naengmyeon on top of the lettuce.
Step 10
Finally, garnish with the thinly sliced pear and cucumber. Your impressive Tray Bulgogi Bibim Naengmyeon is now complete! This is a hearty and delicious meal that the whole family can enjoy together. Enjoy your meal!
