In addition to hot noodles, Asian cuisine also impresses with refreshing noodle dishes, ideal for enjoying during the summer season.
1. Korean Cold Noodles (Naengmyeon)
Naengmyeon is the beloved 'national' cold noodle dish of South Korea. Popular among locals, it's especially favored in the summer. Made primarily from buckwheat flour, the noodles have a naturally chewy texture and distinct brown color.
Korean Cold Naengmyeon comes in two variations:
Mul-naengmyeon
This dish is served with a chilled meat broth that’s been chilled with ice. It’s accompanied by radish, cucumber, white pear, and a boiled egg. With just these ingredients, you have a refreshing cold noodle bowl. Some even add a little vinegar to enhance the flavor or a bit of kimchi for extra tastiness.
Bibim-naengmyeon
This is a mixed cold noodle dish. To preserve the noodles' perfect chewiness, they are soaked in ice-cold water. Toppings such as cucumber, egg, pear, and sliced meat are added. The highlight of this dish is the spicy sauce that blends the toppings together, creating a unique and distinct flavor.
2. Thai Glass Noodle Salad
Yum Woon Sen is a famous Thai noodle dish that you must try when visiting the country. Also known as 'glass noodle salad,' this dish combines ingredients like the tanginess of lime, the heat from chili, and the sweetness of sugar. All these flavors come together, creating an unforgettable taste experience. The signature sauce is mixed into the soft glass noodles, while fresh vegetables, cucumbers, seafood, or beef or pork (depending on preference) add a crunchy texture.
3. Japanese Soba Noodles
Soba noodles, made from a blend of buckwheat and wheat flour, are a famous cold dish in Japanese cuisine, typically served during hot summer months. When enjoying the refreshing Soba noodles, you'll experience the cooling sensation from the noodles, along with their chewy and tender texture. The noodles are pre-soaked in cold water. It’s served with a bit of fresh green onions, a touch of wasabi, and a small bowl of diluted soy sauce.
China's famous cold sesame noodles, also known as 'Ma Jiang Mian,' offer a memorable taste with their smooth noodles and savory soy sauce. Topped with crunchy cucumber, a fried egg, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, this dish blends the sweetness of soy sauce, the tanginess of vinegar, and the richness of sesame oil, making it irresistibly delicious from the very first bite.
