Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook Korean noodle soup? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is better to use lean meat; pork neck tenderloin is good. Instead of cucumber, you can safely take radishes, and replace sprouted soybean sprouts with Chinese cabbage. Wheat, egg or rice noodles are suitable for this soup. Pork can be replaced with beef pulp.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the meat and cut into slices at least 1 centimeter wide. Place the meat in a saucepan and cover with water. Rinse the onions and carrots, peel them and add them whole to the meat to make the broth richer and richer. Place the pan over medium heat. The foam that will form during cooking must be constantly removed. Cook the broth after boiling for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
After the specified time, remove the meat from the pan using a slotted spoon, and leave the broth so that it becomes transparent and the sediment sinks to the bottom of the pan. Carefully pour the clean broth into a separate container and lightly salt it.

Step 4

Step 4
Place sesame seeds in a hot, dry frying pan. Fry the sesame seeds over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sesame seeds turn slightly brownish and "crackle" appears.

Step 5

Step 5
Next, add the garlic, passed through a press, salt (about 0.5 tsp) and sugar to the pan. Next add soy sauce and mix everything well. If you wish, you can add a pinch of ground ginger, then the meat and sauce will turn out even more piquant.

Step 6

Step 6
Place boiled pork pieces into the sauce.

Step 7

Step 7
Place a plate on top of the meat, smaller in diameter than the frying pan, to form a “press”, cover with a lid. Simmer the meat over low heat for about 40 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
While the meat is stewing, prepare the remaining ingredients. Boil the eggs hard. Wash the cucumbers (or radishes) and cut into thin strips. Rinse green onions and limes in water as well. Finely chop the onion and cut the lime into thin slices.

Step 9

Step 9
Cook noodles according to package instructions. Heat the broth over medium heat. Drain the finished noodles through a colander and rinse them with running water. Peel the eggs and cut them in half.

Step 10

Step 10
The most interesting thing left is to assemble the soup. Adjust the amount of each ingredient to your taste. Place noodles on the bottom of a deep plate, top with pieces of aromatic meat, soy sprouts, fresh cucumber, green onions and an egg. Carefully pour hot broth over everything. Drizzle the soup with lime or lemon juice and sprinkle with chili powder. If there is sauce left after stewing the meat, you can also add it to taste. Serve the soup immediately. Bon appetit!
