Steps
- 01
Boil ample water, add 100 g buckwheat noodles and cook according to package timing. Wheat content and cooking times vary by product.
- 02
Rinse cooked noodles well under cold running water to remove starch and drain thoroughly.
- 03
Whisk 22 ml tsuyu, 30 ml soy sauce, 15 ml lemon juice, 30 ml honey and about 25 ml perilla oil in a bowl; reserve 5 ml oil for finishing.
- 04
Rinse 120 ml aged kimchi in cold water, squeeze and chop. Finely chop two scallions and crumble 4 g roasted seaweed.
- 05
Divide drained noodles into two bowls and toss first with 2–3 tbsp dressing per bowl. Do not force all the dressing onto the noodles if already well-seasoned.
- 06
Top with rinsed kimchi, scallions, seaweed and 27 g sesame divided between bowls; finish with reserved 5 ml perilla oil and serve cold immediately. If using 1/2 tsp mustard, stir it into the remaining dressing.
- 07
Serve assembled noodles promptly; do not leave them at room temperature. Refrigerate any separate leftover dressing or ingredients in clean covered containers within two hours. The raw egg yolk from the creator's optional topping is omitted.
