This unpretentious Korean entree is label simply as cut-type noodle in a nondescript packaging. A very traditional Korean noodle soup that need no explanation, I guess. The flat noodles are cut into width and heat dried, and hence nonfrying with very low fat. The drawback is that the noodle take 2 to 3 minutes longer to cook than regular.

Nothing fancy, just a quality home-style vegetarian broth flavored delicately with sea vegetable to accompany the smooth luscious noodle for a very satisfying fare. The small flakes of sea mustard expanded surprisely well cooked with a nice spinach-like taste.

Cooking Directions
  1. Bring to boil 2 1/2 cups of water.
  2. Add noodle and ingredients to boiling water and simmer 6 minutes, stir occasionally.

    Of all the soups I have tried (so far), this one is my absolute favorite! The taste is full & strong…very woodsy…earthy tasting. The mushroom add a nice organic flavor. The noodles are perfect, both thick and wide! I seasoned mine with fresh grated ginger and sliced daikon, very very good. I have recommended this one to all my friends since my first taste!!
