Tasty Facts
Naengmyeon soup is a popular dish in Korea. Its name translates as “cold noodles”. Koreans cook it in the second half of summer when the hot period comes.
– Cold soup with buckwheat noodles began to be prepared in North Korea in the middle of the 19th century. Buckwheat grew well in the mountainous regions of the country and was cheaper than rice; soups with it were prepared quickly and easily, which was important for residents of mountainous regions with a harsh climate.
“There are two types of naengmyeon: mul naengmyeon, a cold soup with meat and noodles, and bibim naengmyeon, a salad with noodles and red pepper paste.
– In Korea, soup noodles are cut with scissors and eaten with chopsticks, washed down with broth. Naengmyeon is served with vinegar and mustard, which give the soup a pleasant sourness and spiciness.
