Otogi Somyeon Thin Wheat Noodles 320g

Somyeon (소면) are very thin Korean wheat flour noodles, essential for a variety of classic dishes. These noodles have a delicate, smooth texture and a neutral taste that makes them incredibly versatile for absorbing the flavours of broths and sauces. Traditionally, somyeon are served in a light, refreshing anchovy broth for a dish called janchi-guksu (banquet noodles), a staple at Korean celebrations. They are also excellent served cold with a spicy gochujang-based sauce in bibim-guksu, making for a perfect quick and satisfying summer meal. To prepare, simply boil for 3-4 minutes until tender, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. This step is key to achieving the perfect chewy texture. These noodles are a fundamental component of the Korean pantry, ideal for anyone looking to create authentic noodle soups or spicy mixed noodle dishes at home.
