A variation of Naengmyeon where the noodles are served in a large amount of icy, clear beef and dongchimi broth.

15 minutes
Serves 4
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the broth into a large ziplock bag and place it flat in the freezer for 2 hours until it forms a semi-solid, slushy ice.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Add the noodles and boil for 40-60 seconds (if fresh) or 3 minutes (if dried). Stir constantly so they do not stick.

  3. 3

    Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice-cold water. Vigorously rub the noodles together to remove surface starch. Drain completely.

  4. 4

    Coil the cold noodles into a neat, tight mound in the center of a chilled stainless steel bowl.

  5. 5

    Crush the slushy broth slightly in the bag, then pour it over the noodles.

  6. 6

    Arrange the sliced pear, cucumber, pickled radish, and half an egg on top. Serve immediately, allowing diners to add vinegar and mustard to their liking.
