The three main elements of Korean cold noodles
One: noodles
Usually, you can buy them in markets in the northeast, or you can go around to the markets near the Korean settlements, and you should be able to get more authentic noodles. As for other places,......, it seems that a lot of supermarkets sell the kind of "fool" pack, that is, the noodles, soup and what in the kind of buy back to throw away the soup. （I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do this, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it! Fear of waste to keep up, wait for the expiration of moisture and then throw can also be, live live ~~~~~~ a moment to explain.)
Buy back the noodles, bundles of authentic noodles, then put it in cool water to soak soft, and then in the boiling water gently scalding boil, very quickly, pull a taste, not hard not pinch teeth on it, do not boil big, boil big this time you can only change the Korean version of dan dan noodles, fish out of the cold water in the repeated dipping, do not ask whether it is a hand or chopsticks
If it is a substitute for the noodles, according to the instructions on the package! The instructions on the package will be fine.
The standard for good noodles is
stringy.
The authentic Korean cold noodles are "very hard to break".
When the noodles are ready, they are divided into portions according to the size of the bowl, so that you can eat them with less effort.
Note that preparing the noodles is the last step; if you do it first, they'll get lumpy and hard to eat.
Two: "soup"
Simple!
Ice water, add some sour rice vinegar, a few drops of soy sauce (never too much), salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, a little minced ginger, garlic, cilantro, cucumber julienne, the above are the necessary ingredients!
You can also add pear slices, shredded apples, pineapple, carrots and whatnot to your personal preference, delicious and beautiful! (Seriously recommend the Northeast specialty fruit - apple pear also known as plum apple)
This is the clear soup, there is meat soup is to replace the ice water with beef bones or beef broth;
Good soup standards are: sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, light soup are not tired of drinking
Soup into the soup, and then add a few pieces of ice, a word: cool! The first is to add a few pieces of ice to the soup!
Added: this thing is still in accordance with personal taste to it, sweet and sour salty and fresh own mastery. On the Northeast on the cold noodles taste is divided into two categories, in fact, is the flavor of the soup. Yanbian system on behalf of the Yanji big cold noodles, characterized by salty and spicy, the region of Ji Liao; Jixi system on behalf of the Jixi big cold noodles, characterized by sweet and sour, the region of Heilongjiang.
Third: "mixing"
This is also the most difficult to control, because a good hot sauce is hard to come by!
Usually eaten at home is with hot sauce + chili oil + kimchi (spicy cabbage, spicy radish, cabbage, orange stalks ...... according to taste at will, but must have at least one of the same)
Kimchi Kimchi Kimchi is very crunchy, a little sweet, very tasty . Korean people also like to eat spicy, is the kind of sheep, not as Sichuan, two lakes of spicy as the dominant, put in the cold noodle soup kimchi is so.
Spicy Sauce There are two types of cold noodle sauce: a hot and sour sauce made from fermented fresh red chili peppers; and a traditional Korean hot sauce made from chili powder, applesauce, Korean soybean paste and honey. The two together with the best, huh~~
Chili oil actually should be "oil chili", this is what everyone would like to know, the practice is to use a small bowl with seeds coarse chili powder, add a little pepper, sesame seeds, salt, and then hot oil poured on top of it, nuisance of a smoke, thieves, thieves, aroma! 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, salty, spicy and fresh
