Spicy cold Hamhung-style noodles with pear-chilli sauce, sweet-sour radish, cucumber and boiled egg.
About Hamhung Naengmyeon
Hamhung-style bibim naengmyeon is a cold Korean noodle dish with a red, spicy sauce and exceptionally chewy strands. Hyosun’s rendition combines a pear-sweetened chilli sauce with sweet-sour radish, cucumber and a boiled-egg topping.
Sesame oil gives the noodles a nutty finish, while garlic, vinegar and mustard bring pungency and sharpness. Beef broth adds savoury depth to the sauce, with the radish and cucumber providing a crisp contrast.
The noodles appear as a compact mound beneath their toppings and sauce. Ice keeps the dish cool at the table; additional pear or slices of the broth beef can accompany the egg.
