Cooking tips

  • The canning liquid from the whelk is packed with umami, so never discard it—use it in the sauce.
  • Coating the somyeon in sesame oil beforehand prevents the noodles from sticking together or becoming mushy.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like cheongyang chili peppers, carrots, or cucumber for variety.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a pub-style snack simply at home.
  • Those who want a foolproof whelk salad without complicated seasoning.
