This is actually what I had for dinner twice this week. It comes up so quickly, it’s fast, delicious, and easy. Also, it’s great bc I almost always have Kimchi on hand. Mama used to make this for us with Somen but I really like the texture of these Buckwheat Noodles. I’m a big ole’ weirdo and am fascinated with the most mundane things when it comes to food. I really like how shiny these noodles are. They almost look like shiny Acorn Jelly Straws or something (yes, I 100% fully admit my weirdness, lol).
This is what they look like pre-cooked (just in case you’re not familiar with Buckwheat Noodles)
They’re super inexpensive…the place I go to has them for not even $4 and 1 bundle does it for me each time so they last forever!
This is what you’ll need:
