Three elements of the - noodles:
Usually in the northeast of the market can be bought, or you can go to the Korean settlement near the market around, should be able to buy more authentic noodles. As for other places,......, it seems that many supermarkets sell the kind of "fool" pack, that is, the noodles, soup and what in the kind of together. You buy it and throw away the stock, hehehe, yes, throw it away!
Buy back the noodles, into a bundle of noodles, put it in cool water to soak soft, and then in the boiling water gently boil, quickly, pull a taste, not hard not to pinch the teeth on it, do not boil over, otherwise you can only change the Korean version of dan dan noodles. Fish out in cold water and repeatedly dipped in the wash, to wash while rubbing with their hands. If the noodles are packaged as a substitute, just follow the instructions on the package.
The standard for good noodles is: sinewy. Authentic Joseon cold noodles are "extremely hard to break". When the noodles are ready, divide them into portions according to the size of each bowl to save time
Preparing the noodles is the last step; if you do it first, they will be lumpy and hard to eat.
Three elements of the soup
Ice water, add some sour rice vinegar, a few drops of soy sauce (never too much), salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, a little minced ginger, minced garlic, cilantro, cucumber, the above is a necessary ingredient!
You can also add sliced pears, shredded apples, pineapple, shredded carrots, etc. according to personal preference, delicious and beautiful! (Seriously recommend the Northeast specialty fruit - apple pear)
This is the clear soup, and meat soup is to replace the ice water with beef bones or beef clear soup. The standard of good soup is: sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, light soup are not tired of drinking. Soup into, and then add a few pieces of ice, a word: cool!
Added: this thing is still in accordance with personal taste to it, sweet and sour salty and fresh in their own hands. As far as the Northeast is concerned, the cold noodle flavor is divided into two categories, in fact, is the flavor of the soup. Characterized by salty, fresh and spicy and sweet and sour. Three elements of the - mix
This is also the most difficult to control, because good hot sauce is rare ah! Usually eaten at home is with spicy sauce + chili oil + kimchi (spicy cabbage, spicy radish, cabbage, orange stalks ...... according to taste at will, but there must be at least one). The kimchi is left out.
Hot Sauce: there are two ingredients in this cold noodle hot sauce: a hot and sour sauce made by stirring and fermenting fresh red chili peppers; and a traditional Korean hot sauce made from chili powder + applesauce + Korean soybean paste + honey. The two work best together.
Chili oil: in fact, it should be "oil chili", this is what everyone would like to know, the practice is to use a small bowl of coarse chili powder with seeds, add a little pepper, sesame seeds, salt, and then burn hot oil poured on top of it, ziZi a smoke of the oil, thieves aroma of incense! If you specialize in cold noodles, you can also add some shredded onion in the oil and fry it first, delicious ah!
Well, the three elements are ready, then start eating! In a large bowl, put a portion of noodles, soup, more cucumber, plus chili sauce, plus chili oil, plus a lot of kimchi, while drooling while mixing ah mix! Eat the noodles, drink the soup, chew the ice ...... sweet and sour, icy and refreshing, salty and spicy .
Note: To noodle less soup wide, not full of a bowl of noodles. Otherwise affect the appetite.
