Cold noodles first originated in Goryeo and are a delicacy with Korean characteristics. At the end of the 19th century, Koreans migrated to China on a large scale, and then cold noodles were also passed over. It is said that this kind of delicacy was passed down by the Seven Fairies.

Nowadays, cold noodles have become a representative of Korean cuisine.

Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture is located in the east of Jilin. It retains many unique customs and customs and attracts a large number of tourists.

Among them, cold noodles are a must-try when visiting the local area.

The biggest difference between cold noodles and other noodles is the difference in materials.

Most of the ingredients for cold noodles are buckwheat.

Buckwheat flour has great benefits for the human body, including lowering blood fat and cholesterol.

Cold noodles require mixing buckwheat flour, flour and starch in a certain proportion, and the techniques and amounts are also very specific.

Therefore, making cold noodles is still somewhat difficult.

It is also regarded as a green food because cold noodles do not require any additives and can maintain the unique taste of the flour.

Another important thing in cold noodles is the soup. First of all, the ingredients for the soup must be high-quality beef or chicken. Most of the soups are very delicious.

Moreover, this soup cannot be used just after it is boiled. The floating oil must be removed before it can be used.

Then put the noodles in the pot and cook them, then soak them in cold water for a while.

Soaking in cold water makes the noodles more chewy and tastes better.

Then put the noodles into a bowl, add sesame oil, chili noodles, pepper noodles, etc.

Then pour the soup into a bowl, and finally put a fried egg or whatever on top.

This is how cold noodles are made.

The legend of cold noodles is that it is said that the seven daughters of the Jade Emperor felt too bored in heaven, so they ran to Changbai Mountain to bathe and play.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Qi was taking a bath in Tianchi and found a man coming to Tianchi. He quickly prepared to put on his clothes. Unexpectedly, his clothes were picked up by a big bird. At this time, the man shot the big bird to death with an arrow.

It happened to fall on Xiao Qi's body.

In order to thank the man, the seven fairies made cold noodles for him to eat.

He thought it was very delicious and asked the seven fairies for the recipe. In the end, the man was more than a hundred years old.

Therefore, cold noodles are also called longevity noodles. Koreans eat a bowl of cold noodles at noon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year every year to symbolize longevity.
