Kim Dae-seok's Cold Soba

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• When bonito flakes are unavailable, roast anchovies and dried shrimp in a dry pan or microwave until crisp—this yields a fresher, deeper umami flavor than bonito flakes.
• After boiling, rinse the noodles vigorously under cold water, scrubbing them hard like laundry to remove surface starch, which preserves their chewy texture.
• Squeeze the radish juice lightly to remove excess moisture before adding it—this keeps the natural sweetness of the radish while preventing its sharp, pungent taste from overwhelming the broth.
