Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the thoroughly washed spring onion into long strips lengthwise and place in a mixing bowl.

  2. Soften frozen buckwheat noodles in hot water for 1 minute, then rinse under cold water.
  3. Toss the noodles with perilla oil, soy sauce, sugar, and seaweed powder, then top with spring onion.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Frozen buckwheat noodles can be softened without boiling—just pour hot water over them and stir for 1 minute to prevent breaking and maintain a chewy texture.
  • Cut spring onion lengthwise into long strips to preserve its crisp texture and make it easier to wrap around the noodles when eating.
  • Use plenty of seaweed powder for enhanced savoriness and a richer, more satisfying umami flavor.
