Garak guksu

Garak guksu are traditional South Korean noodles that are similar to the Japanese udon. These thick noodles are made with a combination of wheat flour and salty water. Once prepared, the dough is rolled and cut with a knife into thick noodles. They're traditionally boiled in a soupy soy-sauce based beef broth called malgeun-janguk.

The broth is made with ground beef that's seasoned with salt and pepper and stir-fried in sesame oil. Garak guksu noodles are usually served with kimchi, sliced yellow pickled radish, fried eggs, and fish cakes. Although the noodles are most commonly enjoyed in the warm broth, they can also be eaten cold, in which case they're rinsed in cold water after cooking.
