Main Ingredients
- Noodles (Somen or Joongmyeon) for 2 servings
- 1 Boiled Egg
- Generous amount of well-fermented Yeolmu Kimchi (young radish kimchi)
- 5 cups Kimchi Brine (from Yeolmu Kimchi)
- 1 pack Store-bought Dongchimi Broth (approx. 1L)
- 1 Tbsp Whole Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Alright, let’s get started with this easy-to-make, refreshing Yeolmu Mul-guksu recipe at home!
Step 2
First, cook the noodles. Bring water to a boil, add the noodles, and cook according to package directions until al dente. Once cooked, rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch. Drain them well in a colander. This step ensures the noodles are perfectly chewy and won’t clump together.
Step 3
The heart of refreshing Yeolmu Mul-guksu is its broth! In a large bowl, pour in 1 pack of store-bought dongchimi broth. Add 5 cups of kimchi brine from your yeolmu kimchi and mix them well. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to achieve your preferred sweet and tangy balance. Thoroughly mixing is key for a harmonious flavor.
Step 4
Boil the egg until hard-cooked. Once boiled, peel the egg and cut it in half. Slicing it neatly will make the dish look even more appealing.
Step 5
Now, arrange the cooked noodles attractively in a serving bowl. Top generously with the crisp and flavorful yeolmu kimchi, followed by the halved boiled egg. Finally, gently ladle the prepared yeolmu mul-guksu broth over the ingredients, ensuring it covers them nicely without displacing them. The idea is to have the ingredients immersed in the flavorful broth.
Step 6
To finish, sprinkle with whole sesame seeds for added aroma and nutty flavor. Both black and white sesame seeds work wonderfully here.
Step 7
Voila! Your visually appealing and deliciously refreshing Yeolmu Mul-guksu is ready. It’s the perfect special dish to enjoy on a hot summer day!
