Andong Kalguksu
Also known as: 안동칼국수
Hand-cut wheat-and-bean noodles cooked in anchovy broth with vegetables and garnishes.

About Andong Kalguksu
Kim Mi-young’s account of Andong noodles describes warm nureumguksu as a predecessor of the familiar Andong guksi. Wheat flour, bean powder and egg form the hand-cut noodles, which cook directly in anchovy broth.
Cabbage, squash, radish and sprouts simmer with the noodles, making the broth thicker. Sesame seasoning, egg strips, finely chopped fried beef and seaweed flakes complete the bowl.
Soy-sauce seasoning is added at the table. Millet rice and vegetable side dishes accompany the warm noodles in the account, extending the meal beyond the soup bowl.
