N to the aengmyeon



Naengmyeon

This is my new favourite Korean food.
Strangely enough, the first time I tried Naengmyeon I wasn't feeling it.
Nowadays, I just can't get enough.
Perfectly suitable for summertime it's a refreshing contradiction in your mouth.
It consist of hand-made buckwheat noodles, and is traditionally served in a large stainless bowl with a tangy iced broth, raw julienned vegetables, slices of Korean pear, and often a boiled egg and/or cold beef. Spicy mustard, vinegar and red pepper paste are often added before consumption.

High in iron, protein and fibre....Naegmyeon gets a nutrional high five!
