Main Ingredients- Seolleongtang (store-bought) for 1 serving (approx. 400-500ml)
- Somen noodles for 1 serving (approx. 100g)
- Green onion, 10cm length
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare to cook the somen noodles. Add the somen noodles to a pot of generously boiling water. When the noodles start to boil vigorously, add about one cup of cold water. Repeating this process two to three times will result in chewier and more resilient noodles. Once cooked, rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water to wash away excess starch, which prevents the soup from becoming cloudy and the noodles from sticking together. Drain them completely in a colander.
Step 2
Wash the green onion and thinly slice it crosswise. You can use both the white and green parts. The white parts will infuse the broth with a gentle aroma, while the green parts can be used as a garnish for color.
Step 3
Pour one serving of your prepared Seolleongtang into a pot and heat over medium heat. Once it begins to boil, add the sliced green onion. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed. Store-bought Seolleongtang often comes pre-seasoned, so add salt gradually. Simmer for about 5 minutes to heat through and allow the green onion’s flavor to meld with the broth.
Step 4
Arrange the cooked somen noodles in a serving bowl. Ladle the hot Seolleongtang broth over the noodles. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper according to your preference. Your rich and hearty Seolleongtang noodle soup is now ready to enjoy! It’s best served immediately while piping hot.
