Best experiences in South Korea
Korean cold noodles, or naengmyeon, are one of those dishes that might surprise you at first but will leave you wanting more! Served cold, these #noodles are a refreshing treat, especially during the hot summer months, but they’re eaten all year round in Korea.
So, how are they served? The noodles, usually made from buckwheat or sweet potato starch, are served in an icy, cold broth (mul-naengmyeon) or with a spicy sauce (bibim-naengmyeon). The dish often comes with slices of cucumber, pear, boiled egg, and some thin strips of beef or pork on top. The cold broth version has a tangy, slightly sweet flavor, while the spicy one brings a nice kick to your taste buds.
Why cold noodles? Well, Korea’s summers can be very hot, and naengmyeon provides a cooling, light, and refreshing meal. The cold broth cools you down, while the chewy noodles give you something satisfying to eat. It’s also pretty hydrating with the cold soup, which is another reason why it’s so popular during the warmer seasons.
When do Koreans eat it? Traditionally, cold noodles were a winter dish in #Korea, but now they’re most commonly enjoyed in summer. Many people eat naengmyeon after a meal of #KoreanBBQ, as the coldness is great for balancing out the richness of the meat.
As for the taste, it's different but in a good way! If you try the cold broth version, it has a refreshing, tangy flavor that's light and a bit sour, thanks to vinegar and mustard. The spicy version is bold and flavorful but still cool and refreshing because of the #coldnoodles. Both versions offer a unique combination of flavors and textures that might surprise you at first, but the more you eat it, the more you'll appreciate the balance.
So, if you’re looking to try something new and refreshing, give #Koreancoldnoodles a shot! Whether you go for the spicy or the cool broth version, it’s a dish that stands out for its unique take on comfort food.
