Key Ingredients- 1 pack Nongshim Acorn Jjoljjolmyeon (includes acorn noodles, separate flake packet, and bibimmyeon sauce)
- 1/5 cucumber
- 20g carrot
- 1/2 hard-boiled egg
- 10g cabbage
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your Nongshim Acorn Jjoljjolmyeon. This package contains chewy acorn noodles, a separate packet with flakes (vegetables and fish cakes), and a bibimmyeon (spicy mixed noodles) sauce.
Step 2
Unlike regular bibimmyeon, Acorn Jjoljjolmyeon includes colorful vegetable and cute acorn-shaped fish cake flakes, making it visually appealing and nutritious. The acorn fish cakes are especially delightful and appealing to children!
Step 3
Wash the cucumber, carrot, and cabbage thoroughly. Slice them into very thin julienne strips using a mandoline slicer or a knife. This will make them easy to eat with the noodles.
Step 4
Bring 600ml of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the acorn noodles and the vegetable flakes from the separate packet. Cook for exactly 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Be sure to time this carefully to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.
Step 5
Quickly drain the cooked noodles and flakes into a colander. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to achieve a firm, chewy texture. Rinsing under cold water is key to keeping the noodles from sticking and maintaining their delightful chewiness.
Step 6
Now it’s time to add the sweet and tangy bibimmyeon sauce. Drizzle the included sauce packet attractively over the noodles.
Step 7
This bibim sauce is made with a base of plum and various fruits, offering a deep and rich flavor. The perfect balance of sweet and tangy notes makes it an excellent pairing with the noodles.
Step 8
Arrange the thinly julienned cucumber, carrot, and cabbage prepared earlier on top of the noodles. The fresh vegetables will add a wonderful crunch and freshness.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for a nutty aroma. Voila! Your Nongshim Acorn Jjoljjolmyeon is complete, looking exactly like the picture on the package! Enjoy this chewy and delicious noodle dish!
