What does the perfect naengmyeon taste like? Well, there are two varieties— spicy bibim (“mixed”) naengmyeon and mool (“water”) naengmyeon. The first is a flavor bomb— fiery, tart, and savory all at the same time. The second, mool naengmyeon, is refreshing, because the broth is served ice cold.
Unlike naengmyeon, bibimmyeon is not served in a cold brine. To cook bibimmyeon, the noodles need to be cooked in boiling water and then rinsed in cold water, as the dish is served chilled with a hot and spicy paste mixed with pieces of vegetable, a boiled egg and so on.
Originally, however, the cold noodle dish was a winter food. That is because buckwheat, the main noodle ingredient, cold radish water kimchi, one of the key ingredients of broth, tastes best in the winter season. Thanks to the invention of the refrigerator, Naegmyeong now has its spot in the summer seasonal menu.
