Cooking tips

  • Since the somyeon is not rinsed and its starch thickens the broth, use the full 750ml of water if you want a soupier result.
  • Store-bought somyeon already contains a fair amount of salt, so avoid over-seasoning at the start to prevent the dish from becoming too salty.
  • The savory crushed seaweed flakes and tangy, well-fermented sour kimchi are key to cutting through any richness, so be generous with them.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a super-fast noodle dish that's a fun change from ramyun.
  • Those who want to recreate the spicy, addictive flavor of pojangmacha-style janchi-guksu at home.
  • Those who want to use up leftover dumplings and Korean fish cake (eomuk) in the fridge with minimal cleanup.
