Instructions

  1. Boil a pot of water (about 5 cups for 200g noodles). Add dried noodles to pot and cook per package directions. For ssal somyeon, you just need to cooke for 4 minutes. Keep the lid off and if it looks like it will boil over, add a splash of cold water and the foam will go down.
  2. Prepare a big bowl of cold icy water and dump the hot cooked noodles into the cold water bath. Rinse noodles until it's completely cooled down. Drain.
  3. In a bowl, add the noodles, add sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and mix until noodles are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. That's it!! If you want, you can add some sliced green onions or some gochukaru, it will help to add another layer of fresh zingy flavor.

Notes

  • The sodium level on this dish is quite higher than the actual dish because the noodles will lose a lot of sodium after it's boiled in water and rinsed. 
  • Feel free to try other toppings to this very basic noodle dish. You can add a soft boiled egg, more cooked veggies, whatever you want to try!
  • Noodles - I like to use Sempio Ssal Somyeon 쌀소면 which is gluten-free and delicious. But you can use any other thin wheat Somyeon noodles or even angel hair pasta. You can read more about Somyeon HERE.
