Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, bring a generous amount of water to a boil in a pot. Using plenty of water helps the noodles cook evenly without sticking together.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling vigorously, carefully add the naengmyeon noodles. Cook them according to the package instructions, typically for about 3-4 minutes, until they are chewy and cooked through. Using a timer will help ensure they are perfectly al dente.
Step 3
When the noodles are cooked, immediately rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Drain them very well by pressing gently in a colander; this ensures the noodles remain firm and don’t become mushy.
Step 4
Arrange the drained noodles attractively in a serving bowl. Pour the chilled naengmyeon broth over the noodles. Finally, top with your desired toppings: the yeolmu kimchi, pickled radish, and half a hard-boiled egg.
Step 5
Serve your beautifully prepared Yeolmu Mul Naengmyeon immediately at the table to enjoy. You can add vinegar, sugar, or mustard to taste if desired.
