  • a little egg garnish (jidan)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Thinly julienne the cucumber and soak it in store-bought ssam-mu juice to pickle it tangy.
  2. Cook the buckwheat noodles in boiling water until done, then rinse vigorously in cold water to remove starch, and drain completely.
  3. Add a pinch of beef dasida to the leftover brisket suyuk broth to create the subtle, umami-rich broth characteristic of Pyongyang naengmyeon.
  4. Neatly arrange the cooked noodles in a bowl, then top with lightly squeezed ssam-mu and pickled cucumber.
  5. Garnish with egg garnish (jidan) and thinly sliced brisket suyuk.
  6. Strain the prepared umami broth through a fine sieve to remove impurities, then carefully pour it along the edge of the bowl to finish.
  1. Pickle julienned cucumber in ssam-mu juice; cook noodles and rinse in cold water, then drain.
  2. Mix a pinch of beef dasida into leftover brisket broth to make a subtle naengmyeon broth.
  3. Top noodles with ssam-mu, cucumber, egg garnish, and meat, then pour the strained clear broth over everything.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you chill the broth slightly in the freezer until a thin layer of ice forms, you'll get an even more refreshing and cool Pyongyang naengmyeon.
  • Straining the meat broth before pouring removes floating fat and impurities, making the soup much cleaner.
  • If the mildness feels unfamiliar, you can add a little vinegar or mustard to taste.
