One Pot Korean Noodles and Vegetables

One Pot Korean Noodles and Vegetables

How would you like to have a bowl of cool noodles in a hot summer day? It is 100% yes for me. And if the noodles can be made in one pot? That is a bonus! Here is one pot Korean noodles that you can make in no time. It is super easy and delicious.

The thin wheat vermicelli noodles are cooked with vegetables in one pot, then rinsed in cold water to cool down, and lastly coated with very simple soy sauce seasoning. All the ingredients are something you would have in your pantry. That’s all the cooking, and it is simply delicious. I promise you will be making this noodles again and again.

This type of summer noodle dish is commonly eaten in many households in Korea. However, it become even more popular after a famous Korean Youtuber named Park Maklae(박막례 할머니), an adorable elderly lady who has a ton of fans from young to old, posted in her channel; Korea Grandma. After she showed how she made this one pot Korean noodles, it became viral and everyone made this noodles at home and fell in love.

Hope you can try this noodles, too. I added a little bit of lunch meat on top to add some protein in the dish. You can pretty much add anything you like.

Cook’s Notes

Korean wheat vermicelli

What type of Noodles to use?

Use thin Korean wheat vermicelli (국수, guksoo). You can find them any Korean or Asian stores. A trick to make the noodles more chewier is to add cold water when the boils up while cooking the noodles.

Use any vegetables of your choice

I used zucchini and carrot. I can see the summer squash, cucumber, cabbage, or spinach would be great too. A little bit of green onion would be a nice touch.

Seasoning sauce is the key

The secret is a mixture of soy sauce + sugar + garlic + vinegar + sesame oil. Typical pantry items that every household has!  Not special ingredients are needed.

Cooking Instructions

Korean wheat vermicelli

Bring water to boil. Add the noodles. When the water boils up, pour a little bit of cold water to calm down.

After 1 minute, add the shredded carrots and cook for 1 minute.

Then add the zucchini slices and continue to cook until the noodles and vegetables are tender for your liking.

Drain the noodles and vegetables, then rinse with cold water until they are cool.

Put the noodles and vegetables in a pot again and add soy sauce, sugar, garlic, vinegar, and sesame oil

Korean Noodles

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and toss everything very well with your hand to coat the seasoning evenly.

I added a little bit of deli turkey on mine. Hard boiled egg or poached chicken would be great too, if you want to add some protein to the dish.
