Chilled Acorn Jelly Noodles
A Simple Homemade Meal: Acorn Jelly Noodles Using Cold Buckwheat Noodle Broth
The heat can be quite draining these days. I decided to make some acorn jelly noodles using store-bought cold buckwheat noodle broth. If you omit the jelly and just use the kimchi, it becomes a refreshing kimchi soup. Let’s forget the heat by enjoying this cool, invigorating dish!
Main Ingredients- 1 block of store-bought acorn jelly
- 4-5 stalks of well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi
- Kimchi Seasoning (for mixing): 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 packets of store-bought cold buckwheat noodle broth
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one block of fresh acorn jelly. It looks plump and appetizing, as if freshly bought from a traditional market.
Step 2
With well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi and store-bought cold buckwheat noodle broth, you can whip up delicious acorn jelly noodles in no time. If you add rice, it becomes a hearty acorn jelly and rice bowl. If you omit the jelly and only use kimchi, it transforms into a delicious cold kimchi soup, making it a versatile dish. This is a super-speedy and easy recipe.
Step 3
Thinly slice the kimchi into bite-sized pieces. The flavor will vary depending on how fermented the kimchi is, so using well-fermented, slightly sour kimchi is recommended.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sliced kimchi. Sugar helps to balance the sourness of the kimchi and enhances its savory flavor.
Step 5
Next, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds. Gently mix everything together until well combined. The nutty aroma of sesame oil is sure to whet your appetite.
Step 6
Combine the prepared kimchi in 2 packets of cold buckwheat noodle broth, and add the sliced acorn jelly. Your refreshing acorn jelly noodle soup is now complete! The coolness of the broth, the crispness of the kimchi, and the smoothness of the jelly create a perfect harmony.
Step 7
Your cool and delicious acorn jelly noodles are ready! If you don’t have acorn jelly, you can still enjoy this dish by adding rice instead of jelly, making it like a rice bowl. It’s even better when chilled in the refrigerator after preparation. This dish is a fantastic summer treat that will help you forget the heat!
