Ingredients- Noodles for 1 serving (Somen or Chugen)
- 3 cups of chilled Water Kimchi (mostly the broth)
- Sesame seeds (toasted), a pinch
- Sesame oil, a little
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Boil the noodles in plenty of water. To prevent them from sticking together, add cold water about 2-3 times during cooking. It’s important to cook them until they reach a chewy texture.
Step 2
Once cooked, rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water, rubbing gently to remove all the starchy residue. This step ensures the noodles remain firm and delicious.
Step 3
Pour 3 cups of chilled water kimchi broth into a serving bowl. Add the water kimchi’s solid ingredients, or any leftover seasoned vegetables or cooked greens you have, cut into bite-sized pieces. You can also add shredded cucumber or perilla leaves for extra freshness, according to your preference.
Step 4
Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and a drizzle of sesame oil for a subtle fragrance. Your refreshing and delicious Water Kimchi Noodles are now complete! Enjoy your meal.
