Naengmyeon
Naengmyeon (cold noodles) is Korea's summer dish — thin, chewy buckwheat and sweet potato noodles in an ice-cold, slightly tart beef broth, topped with half a hard-boiled egg, julienned cucumber, pear, and a slice of beef. The broth should be deeply flavoured, cold enough to have ice crystals, and slightly sour. The noodles have a unique springy, semi-translucent texture from the buckwheat. It is traditionally eaten in summer and after Korean BBQ.
