- Boil the somyeon in boiling water for 4 minutes.
- Rinse the cooked noodles thoroughly in cold water to remove starch and drain them well in a colander, squeezing out as much water as possible.
- Place the drained somyeon in a bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of perilla oil, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of 15-year aged balsamic vinegar.
- Add chopped minari to your liking and gently mix to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the noodles.
- Arrange the noodles attractively in a serving bowl. Top with seaweed flakes and generously sprinkle crushed toasted sesame seeds.

- Mix somyeon with perilla oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and minari.
- Serve in a bowl, topped with seaweed flakes and crushed sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Completely squeezing the water out of the noodles is crucial to prevent the sauce from becoming watery and ensure it adheres perfectly to the noodles.
- Use aged balsamic vinegar that has a concentrated sweetness and acidity without added caramel coloring for a deep umami flavor.
- Crushing the sesame seeds between your fingers before adding them maximizes their nutty aroma compared to adding them whole.
