Mulnaengmyeon

Mulnaengmyeon (물냉면) is a classic Korean cold noodle dish, especially loved during the hot summer months. It features long, chewy buckwheat or sweet potato starch noodles served in a chilled, tangy beef or dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth. The dish is typically garnished with sliced beef, a hard-boiled egg, cucumbers, and pickled radish, often finished with a splash of vinegar or mustard for extra brightness. Originating from North Korea, mulnaengmyeon has become a staple throughout Korea, valued for its refreshing flavor, unique texture, and cultural heritage.
