I want to introduce this simple Korean noodle dish to you. I used to make it with my friend in my uni dorm because it was so easy. Back then I never added protein because I could not afford it 🥲. Now I am a full grown woman who cares about protein intake(🤣), so I add chicken breast and prawn to make it high protein. The egg yolk is optional but I recommend it because it really brings the dish together.

30gSesame oil
15gGim (seaweed nori)
5gOptional garnish:
• egg yolk
• sesame seeds
• chopped spring onion
Directions
- Cook Korean vermicelli noodles (Somyeon). Boil water, add the noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir while cooking so the noodles do not stick together.
- Rinse the noodles under cold water and drain well.
- Transfer the noodles to a bowl. Add the cooked prawns and chicken breast.
- Add soy sauce, sesame oil and seaweed nori. Mix well.
- Divide into two serves.
- Add the optional garnish of egg yolk, sesame seeds and chopped spring onion.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- • When cooking somyeon, pour a small cup of water into the pot each time the water boils up. After adding water three times, check the noodles. They should be soft enough to stick lightly to the wall or you can simply taste them to check if they are done.
