NangMyeong Cold Korean noodles

Naengmyeon is a summer treat!

NangMyeong On a Hot Summer Day

In Korea, as the summer heat descends
Turning the world into a 24/7 sauna
Tropical days and nights

People turn to a perennial summer treat
Nang Myeong Cold Buckwheat Noodles

The dish originated in Northern Korea
Spread across the country
After the war

With North Korean refugees
Opening Nang Myeong joints
Featuring authentic North Korean recipes
Pyeongyang and Hamhyeong style

The recipe is simple
Boil buckwheat noodles
In a simple broth

Serve over ice
Or drain the ice and broth first
And serve the noodles

Mix in a boiled egg
Vinegar and Mustard

Serve with pickled yellow radish
And of course, Kimchi

The key is the noodles
Must be ice cold
And eaten right away
To avoid getting soggy

And drink cold beer
For those who like a drink

It is hot out here, as we are dealing with a heatwave in Europe. I don't envy people who are working on hot meals for their family, or as their job in restaurants. Answer in your story or poem: What would you like to make for food on hot days?
