My mom made this for me for breakfast (yes, that's what i requested...i like eating oddities for breakfast) on the morning before I drove back to school at the end of break. Jjol Myun is a type of Korean rice noodle that is served cold with a spicy sauce. The fabulous part about Jjol Myun is that the noodles are chewy or bouncy, like the way bubbles in bubble tea have a little chew to them in the center. It's just like that. Paired with the spicy sauce, you're in flavor and texture heaven.
You can buy Jjol Myun in a package like this at the Korean grocery store.
If you're not able to identify the Korean writing, write down this word on a scrap sheet of paper: 쫄면. Then show the grocer your scrap of paper and say you're looking for that type of Korean noodle. They will probably chuckle at your funny handwriting, then find you what you're looking for.
The package my mom bought comes with 2 servings of fresh noodles (yes, they're fresh, not dried!) and 2 packets of sauce.
Just boil the noodles, then serve cold with the sauce on top. My mom also likes to fancify it by adding a poached egg and some mandolined cucumbers.
Oh gosh, i'm homesick already.
Have a good weekend, all!
