Main Ingredients- 400g Cheongpomuk (green bean jelly noodles)
- 1/10 Carrot (approx. 20g), julienned
- 1/5 Green Onion (approx. 20g), finely chopped
- 1/2 sheet Dried Seaweed (seasoned seaweed is recommended)
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (ground for better flavor)
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (ground for better flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Seaweed: Using seasoned seaweed (like gim) will add an extra layer of savory flavor without needing additional seasoning, making your dish even tastier. If you only have plain dried seaweed, lightly toasting it and then crumbling it works well.
Step 2
Blanch Ingredients: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the Cheongpomuk and blanch until it becomes translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Immediately rinse under cold water and drain well. For the carrots, thinly julienne them and blanch them together with the noodles, or for a slightly different texture, you can lightly sauté them in a pan with a touch of oil. Finely chop the green onion. (Tip: Be careful not to over-blanch the noodles, as they can become too soft and fall apart.)
Step 3
Combine and Season: In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched Cheongpomuk, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions. Add all the seasoning ingredients: 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 pinch salt, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp ground sesame seeds. If you are using seasoned seaweed, crumble it now and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Gently Mix: Gently toss all the ingredients together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Avoid mixing too vigorously, as this can break the noodles. Finally, add the crumbled seaweed and give it one last gentle toss to combine. Your delicious Cheongpomuk Muchim is now ready to serve!
