Celebrate Noodle Day by recreating this easy Korean recipe! Mul-naengmyeon, cold Korean noodles, is a cool, icy, refreshing dish perfect for the summer. It’s super quick and easy, perfect for your summer cravings! 


INGREDIENTS (2 SERVINGS)

  • Instant mul naengmyeon packet (you can purchase this at your local Asian grocery store)

*Your packet should come with servings of dried noodles and instant broth packets. Some brands may come with other topping packets. 


To serve:

  • A few slices of English cucumber, julienned
  • 1 hard boiled egg, halved
  • Roasted sesame seeds, to taste
  • A few slices of red apple, julienned
  • A drizzle of sesame Oil
  • A few slices of kimchi

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Open up your naengmyeon packet and place your broth packets into the freezer for 2 hours so your broth gets cold and icy. If you’re short on time, skip this step and move onto step 2. 
  2. Place the dry noodles from the packet in a pot of boiling water. Cover with lid and cook them for 3 minutes. 
  3. Drain noodles and thoroughly rinse the noodles with cold water for a few times until they’re not slippery. 
  4. If you have put your broth packets in the freezer, take them out and defrost them under running water. 
  5. If not, then put your broth packets in the blender with a few ice cubes and blend to create an ice broth slushy. You can also skip this part and instead, add ice cubes to your broth. 
  6. Pour the noodles in your Crystalwave Soup Mug and put all your prepared toppings on top. 
  7. Enjoy your cool, refreshing noodles with chopsticks!
