Also known as Mul-naengmyeon, it’s a refreshing bowl of chewy noodles made from buckwheat or sweet potato, served in an icy broth with a Japanese-inspired broth with yuzu ponzu!

This isn’t an authentic Korean version, but it’s Jon’s fiancé’s favourite dish to come home to after a long, hot day. Which is great when you’re craving something light and flavourful that’ll be ready within 45 minutes!  ✨
