Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a cool, sweet, and sour soup dish to beat the summer heat.
  • Those who want to make a delicious muk-ssam with basic pantry ingredients, without store-bought naengmyeon broth.
  • Those who want to enjoy a light and refreshing delicacy with crisp vegetables and savory sesame seeds.
