In Korean cuisine, garak-guksu (가락국수) are thick wheat noodles and noodle dishes made with thick noodles.[1]

Preparation

[edit]

The dough is typically made from wheat flour and salt water only.[2] Traditionally, 360–540 millilitres (13–19 imp fl oz; 12–18 US fl oz) of salt is added per 1.8 litres (0.40 imp gal; 0.48 US gal) of water.[2] The dough is rolled and cut with a knife.[3]

The noodles are boiled in malgeun-jangguk (맑은장국), a soup soy sauce-based beef broth made with seasoned ground beef stir-fried in sesame oil and usually served with toppings such as egg garnish and eomuk (fish cakes).[2][4]

Garak-guksu can be enjoyed cold, in which case the noodles are rinsed in icy water after they are boiled.[2]
