Recipe

Pour 1L of water into a pot, bring to a boil, then add 2 teaspoons of mat-sogeum (or 1 tablespoon according to taste) to prepare the noodle water.
Add the pasta noodles and boil for the time indicated on the product packaging, depending on your desired texture (al dente or fully cooked).
Control the boiling foam by slightly reducing the heat, and do not add oil to the water while boiling the noodles.
Once the noodles are cooked, drain them without rinsing them under cold water. Immediately toss them with cooking oil or olive oil until evenly coated, then spread them out on a flat surface to cool.
Store the cooled noodles in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. When needed, take out the desired amount and stir-fry in a pan with your chosen sauce and ingredients for 3-5 minutes to complete the dish.

Add 2 tsp of mat-sogeum to 1L of water and boil pasta noodles according to the time.
Toss the drained noodles with oil, spread them out to cool, then refrigerate.
Each time you eat, take out the noodles and stir-fry them with your desired sauce or ingredients for a short time.

Cooking tips

Adding oil to the boiling water has little effect in preventing noodles from sticking because the oil floats on top of the water.
Unlike regular noodles, pre-boiled pasta does not become mushy easily. If coated with oil and refrigerated, it can be used for up to ten days.
When using store-bought tomato sauce, add half a cup of water while stir-frying to prevent the sauce from becoming too concentrated due to evaporation, and to save sauce.
