🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want a unique gastronomic experience instead of the usual bibim-myeon.
  • Those who want to create a restaurant-quality noodle dish with minimal preparation.

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1.5 servings somyeon
  • 6 tablespoons perilla oil
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons 15-year aged balsamic vinegar
  • Appropriate amount of minari
  • Appropriate amount of seaweed flakes (or gimjaban)
  • Appropriate amount of toasted sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Boil the somyeon in boiling water for 4 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add chopped minari to your liking and gently mix to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the noodles.
  5. Arrange the noodles attractively in a serving bowl. Top with seaweed flakes and generously sprinkle crushed toasted sesame seeds.
  1. Boil somyeon for 4 minutes, rinse in cold water, and squeeze dry.
  2. Mix somyeon with perilla oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and minari.
  3. 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.
