Naengmyeon (냉면): Cold Korean Noodles Challenge (물 냉면 vs 비빔 냉면) in Seoul, Korea

August in South Korea is impossible when it comes to weather with regards to heat and humidity. One of the best ways to cool off though is with traditional Korean cold buckwheat noodles known as Naengmyeon (냉면). In this video we try Mul Naengmyeon (물 냉면) versus Bibim Naengmyeon (비빔 냉면) along with Bulgogi (불고기) and plenty of Gochujang (고추장) & Kimchi (김치). Come find out which naengmyun we think is best in Seoul.

And then we go here and there is about a thirty to one hour wait time. Just to get the elevator. So we needed to cool down so we're going with something authentic Korean. We're getting Bibim Naengmyeon (비빔 냉면) which is going to be mine and Mul Naengmyeon (물 냉면) for yours. So basically these are buckwheat noodles, they're served cold. Yours comes in a cold broth with vegetables and egg and bunch of other ingredients. And the difference between yours and mine is that mine doesn't come with a cold broth. Mine comes with Gochujang (고추장) sauce and basically the rest is very similar. So our food is finally here. I am starving because I skipped breakfast today. So let's have a look at this perfect summer dish. I'm having Mul Naengmyeon (물 냉면) and this is basically a bowl of buckwheat noodles. They are handmade and they're in a bowl of chilled icy broth. So I don't know if you can see it on the camera but it is like slushy. My broth actually has chunks of ice in it. Super refreshing. Huh? Yeah. And this is like the quintessential Korean summer dish. And you'll also notice that the vegetables are raw. So I have some cucumbers here, some radish and of course it is topped off with a hard boiled egg and some sesame seeds. Yeah and as a side dish you got some Bulgogi (불고기). I got Pulgogi (불고기) which is the marinated sweet beef. So normally in restaurants they actually give you scissors to cut into the noodles but they haven't done that here. You cannot break them off with your teeth. Super super chewy noodles. How do they taste? Good. But because it is made out of buckwheat it has a very distinct flavor so it is really nice. And it is also taken on the flavor from the broth so it is a little bit tangy and savory. And you know what later on you can drink the soup with a spoon. There you go. So Sam's meal is kind of similar to mine but slightly different. Slightly different. Mine is called Bibim Naengmyeon (비빔 냉면) and the biggest difference between this and the Mul Naengmyeon (물 냉면) is of course that I have Gochujang (고추장) the red pepper paste instead of the broth. So that is really the main difference. The buckwheat noodles are the same, the vegetables are the same although I think I may have slightly different veggies. You have Kimchi (김치). I have an egg. I have Kimchi (김치) and an egg on top. So yeah, the noodles are really good. But the overwhelming taste here is of the Gochujang (고추장) sauce. Man it hits you hard. It is very spicy but man I love Gochujang (고추장) so this is like. This is like I definitely ordered the right one. Hahahaha. So we finally found the scissors halfway through the meal. We finally smartened up a little bit here. Yeah. So this is how you do it. Just put it in and slice it up. Tongue is on fire. That Gochujang (고추장) was like really potent. Man, wow. It was spicy. Super spicy. Okay, so we finished our meal. We're going to be heading up to the viewing deck on Building 63 soon. Yeah. But let's talk about the price first. So it was eight thousand each. So it came to sixteen thousand Won. W16,000. And that is roughly like about fourteen US dollars. So really good value. I mean this is kind of a fancy building in here. But I will say that I have seen the Naengmyun (냉면) and the Mul Naengmyeon (물 냉면) for about six thousand Won elsewhere. But this still was a really good price and the quality was excellent. So yeah, if you happen to visit Korea during the summer months these are two dishes you absolutely must try.
