I’m a big fan of buckwheat noodles and eat them quite often. Until now, I’ve only used dried soba, but this time I decided to try something new: Myeonsarang Fresh Buckwheat Noodles (생生메밀면). The chewy yet smooth texture of these fresh noodles really stood out and gave a noticeable upgrade to my usual cold noodle meals.

Cooking & Tasting Notes

The noodles separated easily during cooking, and the short boiling time made prep quick and simple. Unlike dried noodles, these fresh noodles didn't get mushy after boiling. Instead, they maintained a pleasant chewiness and softness that really enhanced the eating experience.

One portion was quite generous—I felt full and satisfied after just one bowl. I paired mine with a cold soba dipping sauce and finished the entire dish in no time.
