mul naengmyeon

Mul naengmyeon is a Korean dish of thin, chewy noodles served in chilled broth. Maangchi describes a traditional broth combining beef stock with the brine from dongchimi, fermented radish water kimchi. Her quicker version instead uses the broth concentrate supplied with packaged naengmyeon noodles, adding pear juice and sweet-sour cucumber-pickle brine.^[1]

The cooked noodles are rinsed and cooled before being placed in bowls. Cold broth surrounds the noodles, with cucumber strips, sliced pear and half a hard-boiled egg on top. Ground toasted sesame seeds and mustard oil finish her quick version. The article also gives a separate stock of dried anchovies, shiitake mushrooms and kelp as another broth option.^[1]
