Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 8 ounces wheat flour noodles (somyeon)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts (optional)
- 3 or 4 ice cubes or 1⁄2 cup crushed ice
- Matchstick-sliced cucumbers, for garnish (optional)
- Sliced tomatoes, for garnish (optional)
- Additional sesame seeds, pine nuts, or peanuts, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the soybeans overnight in a bowl of cold water or in hot water for 1 to 2 hours. Drain.
- Put the soybeans in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer vigorously for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Rinse them in cold water.
- Drain the soybeans and rinse them under cold water, rubbing them between your hands to remove the skins.
- In a blender, purėe the cooked soybeans, salt, sesame seeds, and pine nuts, if using, with about 4 cups water. You might have to do this in a few batches. When the mixture becomes smooth, add 3 or 4 ice cubes or 1⁄2 cup crushed ice and purėe until smooth and frothy. If you want a smoother texture, pass the mixture through a sieve and discard the solids.
- To serve, put a mound of noodles in each bowl, cover with soybean sauce, and top with any of the garnishes (if desired). You can also add a couple ice cubes to each bowl if you like it very cold.

Notes
SERVING TIP: The soybean sauce is basically seasoned soy milk, so you can drink any leftovers if you wish.
