Buckwheat Noodle Soup

Buckwheat noodle soup is known as 메밀 국수 (Memil Guksu) in Korea. Buckwheat is thought to be a very healthy food to eat. This is a delicious way to eat buckwheat.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 Handful Buckwheat Noodles (6 Cups Water,1/2 tsp Salt)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 2 Sheets Seaweed

Broth Ingredients:

Yield: 2 Servings

Boil Water

Boil the noodles in 6 cups of water with 1/2 tsp of salt.

Boil Noodle

Put the buckwheat noodles in the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Drain Water

Drain the water and rinse the noodles in cold water once, then set aside.

Broth Ingredients

While the noodles are boiling, make the broth. You will need the above ingredients.

Broth

In 4 cups of water, add 4 Tbsp guksijangguk sauce, 1/2 tsp dashi, and 1/2 tsp of salt.

Noodle soup

Once the broth starts to boil, add the noodles to the broth,
and cook for 2 minutes.

Green Onions

While the noodles are being cooked in the broth, prepare other ingredients.
Cut 2 green onions into 1/2 inch pieces.

Soup with Green Onion

When the noodles start to boil again, add the green onions,
and cook for one more minute and then turn off the stove.

Cooking Eggs

We need 2 toppings for this soup: a flat egg and dried seaweed.
Use one pinch of salt per egg to make flat eggs.
You can use this tip in other recipes too.
Since we need 2 eggs today, we will be adding 2 pinches of salt.

Flat eggs

Some Korean foods need a sliced flat egg as a topping,
as a decoration, or as an ingredient.

Tips for making a good flat egg:

  • Pour a small amount of oil in the pan and wipe it with a paper towel.
  • Then using medium heat, pour the blended egg into the pan and fry.
  • Once the surface of the egg is almost cooked, flip it over.
  • When you flip it over with your spatula, keeping the spatula in the center of the egg to help prevent the flat egg from breaking.

Topping

Slice the cooked flat eggs thinly and cut the toasted seaweeds with scissors.

Buckwheat is a very healthy grain to add to your diet. Unfortunately, the taste is a little bland. In this dish however, it tastes too good to be “healthy.” If you need a soup to warm you up on a winter’s day, give this one a try. You will be glad you did.
