About Kuksi
Anetta Tyan describes kuksi as a favourite summer dish among local Koreans in Uzbekistan. Her version combines noodles with chilled muri and separate cucumber, cabbage, tomato and beef dressings, known locally as chumi.
Dill, coriander and garlic flavour the seasoned liquid and vegetables. Soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt balance the muri, while the selected mild paprika branch seasons the fried onions used in the dressings.
The noodles sit in a deep bowl with the muri, topped with the individual dressings and thin omelette strips. The source presents the finished dish cold, with the colourful components arranged distinctly.
