Janchi Guksu | Traditional Noodle Dish From South Korea, East Asia | TasteAtlas

Janchi guksu

(잔치국수)

Janchi guksu is a Korean dish consisting of somyeon wheat noodles served in a clear anchovy or beef broth, which is occasionally flavored with kelp. The dish is typically garnished with thinly sliced egg (jidan), seaweed (gim), carrots, shitake mushrooms, or zucchinis, and it usually served with yangnyeomjang – a spicy, soy sauce-based dip.


The name janchi translates as a banquet, suggesting that the dish was once traditionally served on special occasions.
