Is Naegmyun a North Korean dish?I had "Pyoungyang Naengmyun" at NewCore and it seemed the same as most everywhere-beef,egg,pear,vinegar,mustard etc. Is it normally still served in restaurants in winter?

Cold food doesn't give me an impression of delicious. It doesn't help that I have grown up eating food while it is hot. Maybe I should just try it next time to know how it tastes like.

I like them both. Though I won't encourage anyone to have cold noodles in winter anymore on my blog. John, Yes, it is a north Korean food and the noodles you described are Pyongyang style. Unless the restaurant specialized in naemyun only, I don't think they serve it in winter. It is quite seasonal as you know. Gdog, Do not eat them in winter, I proved that myself two times already. :) Equinox, Have them in summer, you will really appreciate them. I can't really get closer to the gas burner to cook in summer, it is just too hot and people lose their appetite. Then these cold noodles come in handy. They help you cool down, and their slightly sour taste encourages your appetite. simcooks, Yeah do wait. :) Kat, Cold noodles and hot noodles both have merits. I like them both.

But it is a lot further South. My bad. Don't you have a Korean grocery store in Singapore? They should have these instant noodles there. Well, if they don't, I will make a full recipe some other time, then you can try them. Hi Tigerfish, Thank you, though do you mean a picture of my meal or the picture of the packet? I hope you meant mine. :) Hi Equinox,

When we first started serving naengmyon, only our Korean and Japanese customers ordered it, but over time it became very popular with everyone. We served it with a very small dish of pure mustard oil and advertised it as fire and ice. (mustard oil is much hotter than wasabe or horseradish) We served this as a summer special in our restaurant every summer for thirteen years.

Yum.. I love these cold noodles and just found a place in Taipei (Banqiao) that serves them. Where did you buy the instant packs? (Sorry I'm new to your blog!) Korea or in the states? I will totally look for them now that I know they exist. :) PS Thanks for visiting my blog! WOW! Yum.. I love these cold noodles and just found a place in Taipei (Banqiao) that serves them.

I've never eaten them since because they were simply too cold! Is there a way to reuse them, say for example, boiling the packaged broth and having them hot? I've stir-fried the noodles with meat to turn it into a mock-Japchae of some sorts but I'm running out of ideas! Thanks! P.S. Love your blog and hope to see more great posts!
