Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a deep, refreshing taste of traditional royal cold noodles instead of ordinary store-bought versions.
  • People looking for a sweet and cooling buckwheat dish to soothe heavy, greasy stomachs.
