Mak-guksu
() or buckwheat noodles is a Korean buckwheat noodle dish served in a chilled broth and sometimes with sugar, mustard, sesame oil or vinegar.Kim, Violet "Food map: Eat your way around Korea" CNN Go. 6 April 2012. Retrieved 2012-04-12 It is a local specialty of Gangwon Province, South Korea and that province's capital city Chuncheon. Makguksu at Doosan Encyclopedia Jaengban-guksu is a type of makguksu in which buckwheat noodles and various vegetables are mixed in a tray.
Makguksu is usually prepared directly from buckwheat seeds which have been soaked and ground into a paste. Since buckwheat is less Gluten than most grains, buckwheat flour is particularly difficult to knead, roll, and slice into noodles by hand; thus, the noodles are often created in a hand-cranked noodle-making machine instead.
It is difficult to generalise regarding makguksu's accompanying ingredients. Ingredients are traditionally determined by the customer rather than the restaurant owner, and many restaurants also carry their own unique flavouring recipes. In most cases, makguksu is very spicy, sometimes seasoned with gochujang (hot chile pepper paste). Various types of kimchi can be added as well: nabak kimchi, dongchimi or Napa cabbage kimchi. Makguksu at Encyclopedia of Korean Culture Many recipes also add various vegetables or soy sauce. Banchan (side dishes) vary in equal measure. In the Chuncheon area, the dish is frequently accompanied by boiled beef or pork; elsewhere, it may be served with bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) or gamjajeon (potato pancakes).
