This noodle soup, with its tangy and refreshing broth, chewy noodles, and cooling ice, is truly a summer delicacy! I hope this soup, which will bring coolness to your entire body on a hot summer day, helps you overcome the heat healthily and joyfully.
Noodle Soup Ingredients
- Generous amount of well-fermented yeolmu kimchi broth and solids
- 2 servings of somen noodles (approx. 200g)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- Plenty of cold ice cubes
- A pinch of salt for seasoning noodles (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s boil the eggs that will be used as a topping. Fill a pot with plenty of water, add the eggs, and boil them until fully cooked or to your desired doneness. (Boiling for about 10-12 minutes yields hard-boiled eggs.)
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the somen noodles to a chewy perfection. In a large pot, bring ample water to a rolling boil. Add a tiny pinch of salt to prevent the noodles from sticking and to add a subtle flavor. (This also helps prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.) Once boiling, add the somen noodles and stir gently to prevent them from clumping together as they cook. Cooking them for 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions will result in a chewier texture. (Typically, they cook in about 3-4 minutes.)
Step 3
Once the somen noodles are cooked, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. This step is crucial for achieving a chewy texture and removing excess starch from the noodles. Rub the noodles gently under the cold water until they are clean. Drain them well in a colander.
Step 4
Finally, let’s assemble this refreshing dish! In a chilled bowl, artfully arrange the drained somen noodles. Generously ladle the prepared yeolmu kimchi broth and solids over the noodles. You can add more kimchi broth if you prefer a stronger flavor. For the finishing touch, surround the noodles with plenty of cold ice cubes and top with the halved hard-boiled eggs. Your ‘Yeolmu Kimchi Noodle Soup,’ guaranteed to chase away the heat, is now complete! Enjoy every refreshing bite.
