680 gm buckwheat noodle

    any chinese wine is fine and dry sherry is perfect.

    like i said in my text that this recipe is from the packet of buckwheat noodles and if it did not look like the proper korean, then i might have interpreted it wrongly. Who cares if it is proper or not, it tasted good.

  5. Anon at 4:40 PM is obviously not Korean. He\she probably has not eaten Korean food enough to experience the variety of ways to eat naeng myung.

    This recipe would certainly qualify as naeng myung.

  8. The comment by anon, who said "That looks absolutely nothing like proper Korean bibim naengmyun" is really ignorant. He's fixated on presentation. Whether or not you mix the sauce into the noodles before taking a picture of it has nothing to do with whether or not the dish is "proper bibim naengmyun". Plus, the toppings are supposed to be a mix of what you have on hand that is appropriate to be on it. In particular the picture he posted isn't "a proper bibim naengmyun" either in the sense that a full trimmings restaurant version of a bibim dish would have bean sprouts and an egg with an undercooked yolk and other vegetable items. How you present what is supposed to be an ad hoc noodle dish or when you dress it, is really irrelevant to whether or not it's "proper".

    Thanks for posting the recipe, Lily! I was looking for something in a hurry and the sauce mix that you posted is just like what I remember Mom used to make.

  9. I just wanted to add, by the way, that Koreans also put this gochujang (red pepper paste) dressing on cold Soba noodles, which is what I used it for.
