Korean Chilled Buckwheat Noodles With Chilled Broth And Kimchi Recipes

Steps:

• Make the broth. Combine all the ingredients for the broth except the salt and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Strain. Season to taste with salt and sugar if desired. Place in the refrigerator until cold.
• Cook the soba noodles. Drain well and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Place in the refrigerator and chill while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Toss the kimchi with the remaining sesame oil and refrigerate. Chill all of the other ingredients.
• Divide the noodles among 4 wide bowls. Arrange the tofu, pear or plum and vegetables on top of and around the noodles and top with wedges of boiled egg. Stir the vinegar into the cold broth. Taste and adjust salt and sugar. Ladle into the bowls. Garnish with Korean chili powder and cilantro if desired, and serve. Guests should stir the mixture so that the kimchi flavors the broth and noodles.

Steps:

• Make the broth: In a large pot, combine the flank steak, green onions, white onion, dried seaweed, ginger, garlic, rice wine, soup soy sauce, Korean beef stock powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour.
• Remove the flank steak from the broth and let cool on a cutting board. Let the broth cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Line a fine-mesh strainer with at least 2 layers of cheesecloth. Strain the broth into a large bowl. Refrigerate the broth until cold, about 1 hour.
• Once the flank steak is no longer hot to the touch, cut into ½-cm-thick slices.
• Stir the water radish kimchi brine into the cold broth.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the naengmyeon noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and run until cool water until cold.
• Divide the noodles between 4 serving bowls and ladle about 2 cups of broth into each bowl around the noodles. Top each bowl with 4-5 slices of beef, pickled radish, cucumber, half of a hard-boiled egg, and sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!
