Naengmyeon

A cold noodle dish made of thin, slightly chewy buckwheat noodles topped with egg, meat, vegetables, and a savory, vinegary ice-cold broth.

Buckwheat grows well in high altitudes, so it became important for Koreans living in the harsh mountain climate. But it is refreshing in hot weather, and it’s a one-bowl meal that requires very little time at the stove.
