In contrast, Mul Naengmyeon offers a refreshing experience with the same chewy noodles served in an icy broth made from beef or radish water kimchi, garnished with julienned vegetables, Korean pear, and a boiled egg. This noodle dish is not spicy unless you decide to throw in some spicy sauce. Naengmyeon and Korean BBQ Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Modified Starch, Salt, Emulsifiers( Soybean Oil, Glycerin Fatty Acid Esters), Sugar, Water, Red Pepper Paste, Apple Puree, Soy Sauce, Red Pepper Powder, Salt, Vinegar, Garlic Paste, Soybean Oil Soak the brisket in a bowl of water and set aside for 20 mins to draw the blood out. Drain the water. Add the water (5 cups) and the brisket into a medium to large pot, cover with the lid and boil them over high heat. Skim off any scum that forms. Once the water starts to rolling boil, reduce the heat to low-medium. Simmer until the brisket is tender and cooked (I boiled them for 1 hour total. This should result in about 3 cups of broth.) Take out the meat onto a plate. Cool down the meat and the broth for 30 mins. Cut off any stringy fat and thinly slice the brisket.

Use a colander to drain. Rinse the noodles under running water to remove the starch and to stop cooking. Shake off the excess water.

The soul of the dish comes from a mix of ingredients, including red pepper paste, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic paste. Adding a unique twist, the addition of apple puree lends a natural sweetness that beautifully balances the fiery notes of the dish. This amazing blend of flavours is a hallmark of Korean cuisine. These elements create layers of depth in the sauce that elevate each mouthful. The authentic one is made with the Korean noodles called somyeon which I believe are the same or very similar to the Japanese somen noodles. Toppings As mentioned, bibim men is a cold noodle dish and the highlight of this dish is definitely the sauce! Use food-grade plastic gloves to gently mix the sauce into the myeon. Your hands will mix the sauce in more thoroughly and prevent breakage. To plate it like the restaurant's, use your hands to pull out a large portion of noodles, transfer it into the bowl, and twirl the bowl while setting the noodles down to create a swirled, mountain-high pile. Once noodles are cooled down, use the same colander to drain immediately (don’t let them sit in the water for too long.)

Rice wine vinegar can be substituted with apple cider vinegar or mirin for a slightly sweeter taste.
