Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the well-fermented yeolmu kimchi, which is the key to delicious chilled yeolmu kimchi noodles. If your kimchi is too sour, use less brine; if it’s bland, add plenty of brine.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and julienne it thinly. Peel and thinly julienne the onion. Finely chop the Cheongyang chili peppers for a bit of heat. (Omit or reduce the amount if you don’t like spicy food.)
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the prepared yeolmu kimchi (both solids and brine), 1.5 packets of store-bought naengmyeon broth, and 1 cup of water. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the broth as needed. If you prefer it colder or more flavorful, add more naengmyeon broth or water.
Step 4
Now, add the julienned cucumber and onion, and the chopped Cheongyang chili peppers to the broth and mix well. Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to enhance the flavor with a touch of sweetness. Let the ingredients meld together for a moment.
Step 5
Cook the noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to achieve a chewy texture. Finally, rinse them in ice-cold water to keep the noodles firm and refreshingly cool, which makes them taste much better.
Step 6
Place the cooked noodles into a serving bowl and generously ladle the chilled yeolmu broth over them.
Step 7
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and arrange them attractively as a topping. The yellow and white parts will complement each other beautifully.
Step 8
