Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding about 5cm of Korean hot mustard to the dressing enhances the tangy-sweet flavor with a sharp, pungent aroma and rich umami depth.
  • Before adding the dressing, briefly toss the whelk with mirin, sesame oil, and ground sesame seeds to thoroughly eliminate any fishy odor.
  • Adding cold water two or three times while boiling the noodles helps maintain temperature contrast, resulting in much chewier noodles.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, mouth-watering appetizer perfect with cold beer or soju.
  • People looking for a secret-spice version of traditional whelk salad with intensified sharpness and umami richness.
