Cooking tips

  • Mixing the dongchimi broth’s clean taste with the rich depth of the beef broth in equal parts creates a far more complex and satisfying flavor than using just one type.
  • On hot days, skip elaborate garnishes and simply use sliced cucumber and green chili to cut down on prep time while still enjoying a fresh, satisfying meal.
  • Rinsing soba noodles under cold water while rubbing helps eliminate the wheaty odor and makes the noodles chewier and more pleasant to eat.

Recommended for

  • People who want to enjoy a refreshing noodle dish without spending long hours at the stove during hot summer days.
  • Those looking to quickly achieve restaurant-quality results using store-bought broths.
