Lim Sung-geun's Emperor Gojong's Plum Cold Noodles

Cooking tips 💡

• Adding peppercorns while boiling the broth helps eliminate greasiness and adds a subtle, refreshing umami flavor.
• After rinsing the noodles, adding a few drops of vinegar removes the characteristic buckwheat odor and makes the noodles much firmer and chewier.
• Breaking the plum with a spoon as Emperor Gojong did creates irregular fragments that blend smoothly with the cold noodle broth.
