Instructions

6 steps

1
To make the spicy sauce, place the 1/4 Asian pear, onion, and garlic in a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.

2
Boil the naengmyeon noodles for 1-3 minutes (depending on type), drain, and aggressively scrub them in ice-cold water until thoroughly chilled and chewy.
3
Squeeze as much water out of the noodles as possible. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
4
Pour the spicy fruit-based sauce over the noodles and toss thoroughly by hand (using a glove) until every strand is coated in the thick red sauce.
5
Divide the spicy noodles into serving bowls.
6
Garnish with a neat stack of julienned cucumber, julienned pear, and top with the half boiled egg. Serve with a small side cup of cold beef broth.
