  • 500g pork (pork belly or shoulder recommended)
  • 300g well-fermented young radish kimchi
  • 1 pack (500ml) store-bought cold noodle soup broth

Special Seasoning Paste

  • 4 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1/4 onion (finely minced or grated)
  • 1/2 handful minced garlic (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
  • 100ml vinegar (approx. 1/2 cup)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Let’s start by making the special seasoning paste that will elevate your Yeolmu Naengguksu. Prepare 1/4 onion and finely mince or grate it. The onion’s sweetness and fresh flavor will add depth to the paste.

Step 1

Step 2

Add about 1/2 handful of minced garlic. The pungent aroma of garlic will enhance the savory notes of the seasoning.

Step 2

Step 3

Now, pour in 100ml of vinegar for that essential tang. Use an immersion blender (like a ‘dokebi bangmang’) or a regular blender to blend the onion, minced garlic, and vinegar until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfectly consistent paste.

Step 3

Step 4

Add 4 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for the paste’s spicy kick. Feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.

Step 4

Step 5

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to season the paste and add umami.

Step 5

Step 6

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the flavors, rounding out the taste profile of the seasoning paste.

Step 6

Step 7

Finally, stir in 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and blend everything well. Your delicious noodle seasoning paste is complete! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for an even richer flavor.

Step 7

Step 8

Prepare the pork that will accompany your Yeolmu Naengguksu by slicing it into bite-sized pieces and grilling until golden brown and slightly crispy. It’s also delicious served with fresh lettuce wraps and ssamjang (dipping sauce).

Step 8

Step 9

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions in boiling water. Once cooked, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch and drain well. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly chewy texture.

Step 9

Step 10

Now, let’s assemble your beautiful Yeolmu Naengguksu! Start by placing the prepared noodles into your serving bowl.

Step 10

Step 11

Generously top the noodles with the young radish kimchi. (You might see some pickled cucumber in the photo, but it’s optional. The dish is delicious with just the kimchi!)

Step 11

Step 12

Add your homemade seasoning paste to the bowl, according to your taste. We recommend starting with a smaller amount and adding more as needed.

Step 12

Step 13

Finally, carefully pour the chilled store-bought cold noodle soup broth over everything. Your incredibly refreshing and flavorful Korean BBQ style Yeolmu Naengguksu is ready to be enjoyed! Bon appétit!
