On hot summer days in Korea, one dish that I’ll never forget is Kongguksu (콩국수) – cold noodles in soy milk. The first time I tried it, I was surprised by its light, nutty flavor, totally different from regular noodle dishes. The noodles are soft and served in a smooth, chilled soy milk broth, topped with thinly sliced cucumber and sometimes even ice cubes floating on top. It’s not only refreshing but also healthy – rich in protein, low in fat, and perfect for vegetarians or anyone looking for a light yet nutritious meal. Every time I eat it, I feel like my body cools down despite the 30-degree heat. If you visit Korea in the summer, you absolutely have to try this dish – simple, soothing, and full of nourishment!
