Ingredients
Soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 10 Tbsp water
- 1/4 cup kimchi juice (cabbage kimchi, radish green kimchi, putbaechu kimchi all works)
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2.5 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce (jin ganjang)
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 each cucumber (korean, japanese, english, persian cucumber)
seasoned cabbage kimchi
- 3/4 cup cabbage kimchi julienned
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp rice vinegar (optional - add if kimchi is not sour)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil (add if you love sesame oil)
garnish
- 1/4 cup Putbaechu (Seoul Green Cabbage) Kimchi optional
- 2 Tbsp roasted sea laver (gim)
- 1 each egg
Instructions
Assemble
- In a bowl, add noodles, the cold soup and the toppings of cucumber, seasoned kimchi and in my case I added extra pieces of Putbaechu Kimchi. If you have Yeolmu (young radish greens) Kimchi, you can add some of that instead.
- Finally, add 1/2 egg per bowl, sprinkle some crushed or torn roasted sea laver (gim) for extra flavor.

Notes
- EXTRA EASY SOUP RECIPE - just buy pre-made Dongchimi Naengmyeon noodles and use the broth package from that. I like Pulmuone and CJ as brands. Just add 3 Tbsp of Kimchi juice to one package of soup and that's it!! Because these soups are already well flavored, you just need some Kimchi juice to flavor the soup, then make the toppings as above and enjoy!!
- If you don't want to throw away the noodles from the packages, you could even just use Naengmyeon noodles instead of Somyeon. In which case, I guess it will be Kimchimari Naengmyeon?
- Inaccurate Nutritional Facts - the nutrition facts in this recipe is missing the nutrition for Kimchi juice so most likely the sodium level will be a bit higher. But then you don't normally drink all the soup broth so it may be a little less.
