Cooking tips 💡

• If you prefer the clean umami taste of anchovy broth, you can use anchovy seasoning powder instead of beef seasoning powder.
• If you have store-bought naengmyeon broth at home, you can skip making your own broth and simply pour it over for a very convenient meal.
• Grinding the sesame seeds rather than leaving them whole allows their nutty flavor to deeply infuse the entire broth, significantly enhancing the taste.
• For a richer flavor, you can crumble and add seasoned seaweed (gim) as a garnish at the end, according to your preference.
