Ingredients
Buckwheat flour 750g
Beef 275g
Pork 340g
Chicken 410g
Kimchi 400g
Cucumber 100g
Pear 100g
Hard-boiled eggs 2.5
Salt 20g
Soy sauce 50g
Vinegar 30g
Mustard 15g
Baking soda 8g
Dongchimimul (Korean radish water) 500ml
Instructions
Boil the beef, pork and chicken in plenty of water. Season with salt, soy sauce and the dongchimimul to make the broth for the noodles.
Slice the cucumber, pear and kimchi into thin strips. Peel the eggs and cut each in half.
Mix together the buckwheat flour, baking soda and 70-80ml of warm water. Knead it for a few minutes before pressing through a noodle mould and rinsing with cold water.
Boil the noodles for 15-20 minutes, stirring continuously so that they don't stick together.
Dress the noodles with meat shreds (leftover from the broth), the sliced vegetables and half a boiled egg. Lastly, pour over the broth water.
Makes 5 bowls.
Notes
Make sure the amount of water you use to boil the noodles is about twice as much as the volume of noodles. If the amount of water is too small, the noodles will need to be cooked longer, and their surface will be rough and soggy.
You can try Pyongyang Cold Noodles on any North Korea group tour or custom independent tour with Koryo Tours.
