Steps
- 01
Combine 2½ cups flour, ½ cup potato starch, ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp oil and 1 cup water into a dough. Cover and rest for at least 10 minutes.
- 02
Knead 10–15 minutes until smooth, roll thinly, dust with flour, fold and cut strips about 3–5 mm wide. Unfold and separate the noodles.
- 03
Put 6 cups stock in a pot. Whisk 1 cup toasted perilla powder into the remaining 2 cups stock and pour into the pot, breaking up lumps.
- 04
Thinly slice onion, carrot and zucchini, add them to the broth and bring to a boil. Shake excess flour from noodles, add gradually and stir so strands separate.
- 05
Cook noodles in boiling broth for about 5 minutes or until even the thickest strand has no raw flour core. Add garlic and 2 tsp sesame oil; add soup salt gradually to taste.
- 06
Serve hot with kimchi. Portion and refrigerate leftovers promptly rather than leaving at room temperature, and reheat thoroughly.
Before you cook
Do not taste raw flour dough; boil noodles until cooked through. Check wheat, fish in anchovy stock, sesame and possible perilla sensitivity. Chill leftovers within two hours and reheat thoroughly.
