There are many kinds of cold noodle dishes in South Korea, including one made with
cold beef broth; however, spicy cold noodles have historically been appreciated by spice-loving people in Korea and recognized internationally. What makes this dish so distinct from other cold noodle dishes from different cultures is the strong spicy flavor produced from the combination of
red pepper powder,
gochujang, and minced
garlic, along with a
sweet-and-sour flavor created by
vinegar and
sugar. Most spicy cold noodles are prepared with a slight touch of
sesame oil to enhance the richness of its flavor. ==Ingredients==
