The essence of Korean national food culture lies in the words "essence", "purity" and "respect", which need no further explanation.
Korean cold noodles (commonly known as Korean noodles) is a kind of traditional ethnic food which is well-known at home and abroad and deeply loved by people. Among them, wheat flour and cold noodles are especially famous. Generally, beef soup or chicken soup is used with spicy cabbage, sliced meat, eggs, shredded cucumber, pear strips, shredded onion, pepper, monosodium glutamate and salt. When eating, first put a small amount of cold soup and a proper amount of noodles in the bowl, then add seasoning, and finally pour the soup again.

Tips:
Noodles are called "vivid ~ alive" in Korean, while cold noodles are usually made of wheat flour, buckwheat flour or corn flour, accompanied by clear soup or broth, plus hot sauce, Chili oil, pickles, sesame seeds, fruits and so on. Cold and light, sour and refreshing, very popular.
Usually, you can eat authentic cold noodles in Korean restaurants, but some cold noodles are deceptive and expensive. It is not difficult for you to go home for dinner alone.
One of the three elements-face:
Usually you can buy it in the northeast market, or you can go to the market near the North Korean settlement, and you should be able to buy more authentic noodles. As for other places ... it seems that many supermarkets sell "fool" clothes, that is, noodles and soup together. Buy it and throw it away, hehe, yes, throw it away! If you are afraid of wasting, keep it until it expires and gets wet. Live ~ ~ ~ ~ I'll explain later:)
Bought noodles, bundles of authentic noodles soaked in cold water, then boiled in boiling water, will soon be ready. Grab one and try it. Don't cook too much. If you cook too much, you can only switch to the Korean version of Dandan Noodles. Take it out and soak it in cold water repeatedly. Don't ask whether it is by hand or chopsticks.
If it is a meal replacement noodle, just follow the instructions on the package:)
The standard of a good face is: tendon. The degree of authentic Korean cold noodles is "extremely difficult to bite off". According to this standard, the gastrointestinal tract is certainly not good!
After the noodles are ready, divide them into several portions according to the size of each bowl, which will save trouble when eating.
Paying attention to the preparation of noodles is the last step. If you cook it first, it will agglomerate for a long time and taste terrible.
One of the three elements-soup
Simple!
Ice water, some sour rice vinegar, a few drops of soy sauce (not much), salt, sugar, vegetarian food, a little Jiang Mo, minced garlic, coriander and shredded cucumber, all these are essential ingredients!
You can also add pear slices, shredded apples, pineapples and shredded carrots according to your personal preference. Delicious and beautiful! (Apple pear, also known as Li Pingguo, a specialty fruit in Northeast China, is highly recommended.)
This is clear soup, and the broth is clear soup with beef bones or beef instead of ice water;
The standard of good soup is: sour and sweet, cool and refreshing, and never tired of drinking.
When the soup is ready, add some ice. One word: cool!
Supplement: This thing can be mastered by yourself according to personal taste. As far as the northeast is concerned, the taste of cold noodles can be divided into two categories, which is actually the taste of soup. Yanbian represents Yanji cold noodles, salty and spicy, and the areas are Jilin and Liaoning; Jixi department represents Jixi cold noodles, sweet and sour, and is located in Heilongjiang Province.
One of the Three Elements-Mixed Materials
This is also the most difficult to control, because good hot sauce is rare! ! !
Usually, when you eat it at home, you will mix it with Chili sauce+Chili oil+kimchi (spicy cabbage, spicy radish, cabbage, platycodon grandiflorum ... according to your taste, but you must have at least the same)
Kimchi: Kimchi is crisp, a little sweet and delicious. Koreans also like to eat spicy food, which is continuous, not as domineering as spicy food in Sichuan and Hunan. The kimchi in cold noodle soup is like this.
Hot sauce: This cold noodle hot sauce has two ingredients. First, the fermented hot and sour sauce and bright red pepper are crushed together; Another traditional Korean Chili sauce is Chili powder+applesauce+Korean soy sauce+honey. The two kinds are best together, hehe ~ ~
Pepper oil: Actually, it should be "oil pepper". Everyone thinks it is a metropolis. The method is to use a small bowl to hold the coarse pepper powder with seeds, add a little pepper, sesame seeds and salt, and then heat the oil and pour it on it, thus producing a fragrant oily smoke smell. If you specialize in cold noodles, you can also add some shredded onion to the oil and fry it. It's delicious!
Ok, the three elements are ready, let's start eating! Put a noodle in a large bowl, fill it with soup, more shredded cucumber, Chili sauce, Chili oil and a lot of kimchi, and drool while stirring! Eat noodles, drink soup, chew ice ... sour and sweet, ice and ice are refreshing, salty and spicy.
In hot summer, if you can eat a bowl of cold salad and cold noodles with hot sauce. It must be beautiful. Ha ha! But you should prepare some hot milk and stomach medicine to avoid damaging your stomach.
