Origin of Korean Cold Noodles(Naengmyeon)



According to the 19th century documents of Dongguksesigi(東國歲時記), 

it has been made since the Joseon Dynasty.

Originally a delicacy in northern Korea, especially 

in the cities of Pyongyang (平壤) and Hamhung (咸興) in North Korea, 

Korean Cold Noodles(Naengmyeon) became widely popular throughout Korea 

after the Korean War.



Pyeongyang-style naenmyeon is called 

“Mul-naengmyeon(Water noodles)” 

As the name suggests, it features more broth, 

and the noodles are made with buckwheat flour. 


Hamheung-style naenmyeon

which is called “Bibim-naengmyeon(Mixed noodles)” has little or no broth 

but lots of spicy red pepper paste with extra chewy noodles made from sweet potatoes.
