Bibim-naengmyeon! It’s wild—I suddenly realized I’ve never really eaten Korean-style cold noodles. I had one bowl in a random cafe in Seoul over a decade ago, didn’t much like it, and never tried them again. But it turns out that it’s delicious when it’s made right!
The most exciting part was the “soup.” The first time I had this, it was served with ice cubes to keep it cold, but this restaurant makes a kind of granita out of a crisp dashi and Asian pear! I’d never had a savory slushie before and I loved it!
